The ’Til Tuesday leader Aimee Mann would ultimately maintain a long career as a songwriter of beloved, literate indie rock, writing an Oscar-nominated song for the 1999 film “Magnolia” and releasing seven albums on her own SuperEgo Records. But in 1985 she was a Boston ex-punk who scored this Top 10 single, which she said was “like the first or second or third song I ever wrote by myself, except [for] a couple terrible garbagey things when I was 16.” The song would stick around; however, the long blond rattail she sported on the album art and in the music video would not. “I think it may be in a cigar box somewhere,” she told Rolling Stone in 1996.
