What's Victoria's Secret?
Tell me her name, cause I really want to see her Tell me her game, cause I need an exit strategy, oh what a tragedy But I know she's not what's best... See the rest of the song lyrics

  1. By letting all of his sides surface here, Springfield winds up with a satisfying album, as it gets to his sober nature without abandoning his fizzy gifts.
  2. The all-original Venus in Overdrive demonstrates the strengths that keep Springfield in the game: broad stylistic range and pure emotional energy.
  3. Venus in Overdrive rarely strays from Springfield's down-the-middle pop-rock blueprint.
  4. It's a slick collection heavy on pop hooks and packed with glossy guitars and studio-perfect bass and drums. Too perfect, in fact: these 12 songs have had all the personality produced right out of them.
