I LOVE the accordion, though maybe not as much as Steve Urkel did. I think it should be appreciated and even seen as sexy (if used right). Huey Lewis and The News put an album out in late 1988 ("Small World") that used the accordion in a wonderful and tastefully wacky way...
On one of the Korgis' songs I've been listening to you can hear whispers of the quirky musical instrument. The track (called "Hunger") is appropriately titled because it makes you feel the singer's longing for someone, something, he can never have...he sounds like a less theatrical, more melancholy Barry Manilow, with his own "Mandy" thing going on...
"Hunger" is haunting, seductive and somehow makes you want to tango.
