1. Phil singing. Always a pleasure.
2. The song was evolving in the right direction. In another time and space, it may have gotten there.
3. The jam was often quite tasty.

That should tell you who your defense is arguing with.
Apparently, the guy who wrote it didn't like it.
Neither did I.

Meh. The lyrics were nothing
Meh. The lyrics were nothing special, and the tune wandered around without really getting anywhere.
You can stash it with Day Job and Money Money.

OK... In the minority here. I like this song,
Which is something'bout a thang that came & went. (The new millennium
Reeling round the bend). Which offers a palatable reason the song never made it past 1999.
IMHO this part (below) is both well written & well delivered:
Wave away my confusion
That drives this delusion
So long I forgot that I could fly
Soar aloft like a songbird
Dancing in the wind
Singing long, singing loud, singing high
From Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale NY (3/13/92) Rippin'!

I was never a fan of Day Job, but it's far superior to WTTW, both musically and lyrically, and Money Money beats it too.
