The Raspberries – “Overnight Sensation”

Writing a hit song about writing a hit song?  Genius!  This song has everything a great pop-rock song needs– a memorable melody, great chorus, smart lyrics and killer vocals.  This song always makes me smile.  Don’t forget to share & leave comments!

  • Great review Brad. I was searching about this song and I found a picture of John Lennon with the Raspberries t-shirt.

    • Thanks, Charlie! The Raspberries were great, an underrated band. Doesn't surprise me that Lennon was a fan, because The Raspberries were carrying on in their footsteps. I've got a John Lennon episode coming up soon-- hope you check it out!
