C'mon. You're both looking to cheat and just because of a fluke/coincidence you are each other's "mystery date." Bite me :x

Yeah, but let's not lose sight of the real reason for the rant- it's a [expletive] horrible song.

I like how he says in the last verse: IF YOU LIKE MAKING LOVE AT MIDNIGHT all emphatic and [expletive].

I remember watching an old Behind the Music a few years ago where they interviewed Rupert Holmes and he said something along the lines of:

"I just want everyone watching this to know right now: I do not like Pina Coladas. Do not come up to me and ask me if I like Pina Coladas. Do not order me a Pina Colada if you see me in public. I will throw it back in your face. I [expletive] hate pina coladas."

Seriously, yes. Reading the quote above from Holmes gives me pleasure. I'll be sure to order him TWO pina colada's if I see him out. Not that I have the slightest idea what he looks like.

i kind of have a spot in my heart for 70's/80's soft rock like this. I can't help but feel like I'm back in my old house or the backseat of my parents' car, and it feels good. I have a Pandora station based on "Baby Come Back" and I've gone to sleep listening to it a few times. I know, it's lame.
