The notion that "Chocolate Cake" was not a hit in the US because of its supposedly insulting lyrics is ridiculous. It's just not a very catchy tune.
It was successful everywhere else. It wasn't successful there (according to Rolling Stone, Billboard and even commented upon by Robert Christgau) primarily due to its inflammatory remarks. I can find references to each of these allegations I'm making, so I'm reverting the edit and I'll find the refs I need. --lincalinca04:07, 12 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, then, can you cite these references? The Wikipedia entries for Crowded House are so dumb they are actually embarassing.
