Songwriter Daryl Hall told Music Connection:
I never thought of (“Every Time You Go Away”) any other way than the way it was ‘til Paul Young did it … I was just doin’ a kind of gospel/soul song; that was all I had in mind for it. I was really surprised to hear the production they did because it kept the elements but commercialized it – made it sound like a pop record.

Don't yell or hit.
Are you referring to Hanson's 1997 hit MMMBop? "Mmmm Mmmm Bob" sounds like one of the characters on The Waltons – or maybe a tagline from a Campbell's soup commercial. 
And now, because nobody asked, here is the number-one song of summer 1921, one hundred years ago. Paul Whiteman's Cherie was number one for six weeks in August-September. It was written by Irving Bibo, who composed the scores for more than 300 motion picftures and Broadway plays in the 1920s-30s-40s. Among the many hits he wrote are Ev'ry Night I Cry Myself To Sleep Over You, Profiteering Blues, Ty-Tee (Tahiti), Sweet Little You, Am I Wasting My Time On You, Sympathy Waltz, Good Night, That Old Gang Of Mine, My Man and Huggable Kissable You.
