I just noticed that the winner of the Howard Stern Show's "Restless, Restless" contest has posted a video of his terrific performance of the song that Tom Gesimondo and I wrote many years ago. You can read the entire, strange tale of how this song came to be at this previous post.
In a nutshell, Tom and I wrote what is arguably THE worst song of all time. It's so bad that when Howard Stern first heard it, he decided to have a contest on his KROCK radio show that would award $5000 to the band that could turn our original song into something good. The show received over 1000 submissions including great ones from Robert Goulet and William Shatner. But it was Kevin Remuck's version that was the hands down winner. It's worth a listen and you can hear some other versions at the player below!

The Best Of "Restless, Restless" Jukebox
Restless, Restless
[Gesimondo & Favale]
You wore your purple dress
I put on my dancing shoes
A night like all the rest
I didn’t have a clue
I picked you up at ten
And to a fault you were quiet
I didn’t know it then
That I was off your diet
You said you needed time to think for yourself
While all the time you were thinking ‘bout somebody else
Now I can tell by the look that’s on your face
That someone else has taken my place
What’s his name?
What’s his name?
What’s his name?
Chorus
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
It happens all the time
I love you
I love you
I like you
I’ve changed my mind
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
She starts to feel that way
You used to leave her Breathless
Now you leave her with nothing to say
You never said it
Not even to this day
You made sure I read it
The author doesn’t sign her name
You tell all your friends
How I left you in haste
You don’t tell them
How you left me with this after taste
Chorus
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
It happens all the time
I love you
I love you
I like you
She's changed her mind
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
She starts to feel that way
You used to leave her breathless
Now you leave her with nothing to say
