I love the song Mr Guder. I realize that it is definitely one of those love/hate kind of songs. I actually like the recording of it on Close To You. The harmonies and the change-ups in the way the song flows. Especially I love when the duo includes it in their "live" performances early in their career. Karen on drums and singing with such "animation"; her facial expressions are priceless!^^Mary Beth, I believe I have a love/hate relationship with the song, Mr. Guder.
It seems so sophomoric (lyrically) compared to much of the Close To You album.
And, yet, I do discern sparks of ingenuity: the harmonies, especially.
Thus, my use of the term 'horrid,' might be over-doing it, but it is a song I routinely skip.
It has no business appearing on the Gold compilation, but, there it is !
I feel it has been over-sold as a money-maker for the composer !
