"Mickey" is great (or annoying, depending on your point of view) but the rest is just kind of good. 5/9 of these are covers (including Mickey) and 3 of them are Devo songs which are quirky and interesting maybe once, but don't warrant repeated listens. "Nobody" is the second best song here, but I can see why it wasn't a hit. "Time After Time" is also good. The USA version replaces "Hanging Around" with a cover of "Rock On" which is an improvement, but things go wrong with "Shoppin' From A To Z" which is WAY more annoying than Mickey and lacks the appeal. I don't know what they were thinking with that one.
