I know a lot of good BOC material has come from outside writers, but I
think they should have chosen more carefully in that instance.

I do agree that "Dancin'" was the high point of CNinja.  It doesn't hold up
very well, though- I can't play it loud with the windows open like I can
"Tattoo Vampire" or "Lips in the Hills"

Yeah- they had a knack for having some really good hooks and riffs inside
of songs that are, taken as a whole quite crappy.
