OK, I have now watched all of one season of American Idol and about half of the next (yeah, yeah, sue me), and yet, to my memory, not one contestant has ever sung a song by Jim Croce. What's up with that? The guy wrote some of the most singable songs, well, ever.
Here are some of Jim Croce's lyrics. "Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)" is one of my favorite songs of all time, and so is "Time In a Bottle". Even "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" is a lot better than I suspect most people remember it, although I admit it took me a long time to get over the bad Chinese karaoke version from the movie Sneakers.
