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. http://books.google.com/books?id=rRAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA36&dq=billboard+%22harvey+danger%22&lr=&as_drrb_is=b&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=2000&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=2001&as_brr=1&as_pt=MAGAZINES&cd=3#v=onepage&q=billboard%20%22harvey%20danger%22&f=false - 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? ------------- edtop40 |
