Non-compelling Factoid: I bought Randy Newman‘s 1983 album, Trouble in Paradise a long, long time ago. I loved it, lost it*, and after not having it for a couple of decades I decided to buy it again.
Randy Newman – “I Love L.A.“ (1983)
Incidentally, for today’s song from the album it was a toss-up between “I Love L.A.” and “The Blues”.
“The Blues” was the reason I bought Trouble in Paradise in the first place, so I might as well play you that too:

(*As Samuel Butler once said: “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.”)
