That's the only promo single I remember from the time, but I wanted to add an edit I recently uncovered.

TM Century Golddisc 4302 has the "Top 40 Mix - Clean", which takes out some of the lyrics (namely "g-d you"). Not sure if this is a label edit or not, but it sounds slick.

It definitely is a label edit, Eric. Not only is it clean, but I'm pretty sure it's a different mix than the album version. (Please correct me if I'm wrong on that.) I can't say for sure, but that promo might also contain the clean album version.

You're right - the "Top 40" mix brings down the guitars in the mix.

As for the promo disc we had, I haven't seen it in 10+ years, but it was a one-track promo (colored orange, IIRC) that only had the original version. We may have gotten it when the song was still at modern rock before crossing over to CHR.

Pat actually did add this song to the database about a week ago. The only single format in which it was commercially released in the U.S. was as a 7-inch single.

Looks like Pat has been adding a bunch of these "Airplay-only" hits to the database recently.

What a cool one hit wonder this song was...probably would have been disappointed with their follow up had they released one.

Funny you say that - I just uncovered my review of the first single from their followup album. I remember being disappointed after hoping for another "Sitta." Frankly, I hardly recall writing this or even hearing the single.

Review of 2000's "Sad Sweetheart..."

Harvey Danger had 2 other "hits" besides "Flagpole Sitta."

There was "Save It For Later" from the soundtrack to the movie 200 Cigarettes. It hit #29 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1999.

"Sad Sweetheart Of The Rodeo" hit #27 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in 2000.

Follow-ups are ALWAYS released, aren't they? No band or solo artist is a "one hit wonder" by choice.

Once again, I don't happen to own the 7784 promo CD single that Ed documents in his initial post, but I do own an offical, non-numbered Slash gold label CD-R. This appears to include the exact same content as Ed's promo (except for the listed time; mine states 3:38, but also runs 3:36, like his. My gold disc promo also appears to be the exact same one that Eric remembers playing on-air at his station.) This original version is also the one that we played on-the-air in 1998, which left intact the "G** damn you" lyric after the "amputee" line was sung. Here now are the details for my second promo CD single; FYI, both of these cuts have the "G** damn you" lyrics removed, after "amputee" was sung:

Harvey Danger-"Flagpole Sitta" (PRCD 7836 2) (no listed times)
1-Top 40 Mix (Clean) (actual 3:35)
2-Album Version (Clean) (actual 3:36)

the version that is on the 'now' cd sounds like the 'top 40
mix clean' because the lyrics 'god-damn you' is blanked out
and it has a different feel than what is on my promo cd
single....can anyone confirm that this version is the same
as what is on the promo cd single jim references above?
