Oy, Steve!  I guess I'm just a sucker for that mid-80's MOR sound, but I *love*
Y Should I Love U? and it's one of my favorite songs on the last album.  But 
there you go...there are as many different kinds of Kate fans as there are

I'm not sure, but I heard it a lot and there was a video that got played
constantly for a while.
