I don’t know why a lot of FV4S songs weren’t much bigger hits. Maybe some people liked garage band arrangements better than the complex orchestral arrangments of Calello, Schroeck, et. al. That seems to be the case with “Can’t Get Enough Of You Baby”, the first charting track (from the WMWBTY LP) of the song being the most complex arrangement. But the garage band arrangement of ? seems to be the most copied, including by Smash Mouth, who also did a remake of Neil Diamond’s/The Monkees’ “I’m A Believer” from the same era.
