Well, this season's big moneymaker appears to be a Motownesque ditty called "Sledgehammer" by erstwhile art-rocker Peter Gabriel. As summer swill singles go, "Sledge" is a real doozy, the slowed-down tempo perfect for dancing (or doing anything else) in a sand dune.

...Amour heroes like Tell don't chew, swear, swill redeye or hang around dance halls, and they don't go with girls who do. Horseplay and gunplay are surprisingly infrequent. The Sacketts are courtly coffee drinkers who never draw first and fight only when their bedrock belief in the perfectability of mankind has been violated. They hardly rate...
