While shopping in TJ Maxx the other day, I couldn’t help but notice that they had some Eagle-Eye Cherry on their musak soundtrack. I guess using the phrase, “some Eagle-Eye Cherry” is a bit misleading, seeing it was just one song (Save Tonight) and that this is the only song that I believe he ever made. Or at least the only song he ever made that anyone ever heard.

I think in rare cases such as these, where an artist is a bonafide one hit wonder, and there is another more successful artist that looks just like him and sounds fairly similar, that the more successful artist should be able to annex that one hit from the less successful artist and bring it into their own catalog. The more successful artist in this case would be Ben Harper, who looks and sounds very very similarly to Eagle Eye, but is undeniably more successful. I think from now on I am just going to consider “Save Tonight” a Ben Harper song and free up those 6 or 7 neurons that have stored Eagle Eye Cherry information for the past 6 or so years.
