Supernatural High
Supernatural High was Freda Payne's eighth studio album and her second for Capitol Records. The first track is a medley of two songs devoted to the subject of happiness - a cover of the old 1929 song "Happy Days Are Here Again" and an original song entitled "Happy Music (Dance the Night Away)." The tracks "Pullin' Back" and "Livin' for the Beat" were co-written by Payne's then-husband, Gregory Abbott. "Storybook Romance" was written by Payne's younger sister, Scherrie. The first track and "I'll Do Anything for You" were two singles that were lifted from the album; they did not chart.

gollark: Yes it is. You knowing that, say, an orbital bee strike is inbound, doesn't make you safe from the orbital strike.
gollark: GTech™ has *much* better apinators than LyricTech™, obviously.
gollark: Fine, firing contraapioforms.
gollark: GTech™ also has weather influence systems via advanced software-defined optics systems in Earth orbit, and obviously the orbital lasers/cryoapioform beams, but it's still quite irritating to have to restabilize all the chaotic systems involved.
