Did not know this song was released in the UK as "Brandy" three years before Barry released it in the U.S. as Mandy. Why did he change the name? Was he afraid of being misconstrued as a Senor Drunkopants? Maybe it's because the song "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)" was was popular two years prior. These are the useless things I contemplate and/or research while blogging.
This song doesn't really do anything for me, mostly because my name is not Mandy. It's got that cliche 70's easy listening sound that I don't hate but don't really like either.
All I can think of is the Family Guy episode in which Barry Manilow sang this song to Quagmire.
"I would never take from you, Barry."
No, but really, I wouldn't. You're only one step above Rod Stewart on my "wrinkly, not sexy, but still respectable old men" list.
