Song of the Day: 'Tied Up' by Olivia Newton-John


Did you hear that Olivia Newton-John is aboard that drug-ladened Atlantis cruise where "Storm Chasers" star Joel Taylor allegedly died from an overdose? Bareback porn star Austin Wolf posted this picture from the ship -- and Capt. Johnny Faevelen shared two more, including one with ONJ's hubby. (I hope he doesn't get lost at sea, too!) "Tied Up" -- which I'm pretty sure original pressings mislabeled as "Fed Up"! -- was the second new track from her "Greatest Hits Vol. 2" in 1982. Although it didn't do nearly as well as "Heart Attack," I think it's a better song. In fact, Stevie Nicks ended up recording it too (as "Tied Up in Promises") for her follow-up to "The Wild Heart," to be called "Mirror Mirror." Nicks wasn't happy with the album's results and it was scrapped, and she released "Rock a Little" instead. A couple of songs later wound up on the next album, "The Other Side of the Mirror," but not this one.

OMG. Possibly the worst recording I've ever heard Nicks do.......and that includes "Welcome to the Room....Sara"

I love Olivia's version, but I'm also really impressed with Lee Ritenour's original from earlier in 1982 (and with lead vocals by Eric Tagg).
