Song of the Day: 'Superstar' by the Carpenters

"Superstar" is my favorite Carpenters song of all time. (It's also the name of the Todd Haynes stop-action-doll film about the pop duo that I happened to see near Georgetown while interning on Capitol Hill in the late '80s). In the comments, please tell me what YOUR favorite Carpenters song is.

Read more about Haynes's masterpiece HERE.

It's currently on YouTube, although it disappears from time to time. Richard Carpenter is NOT a fan!
