One is &#8220;Walk on Water&#8221;, from <em>Nothing to Lose<\/em> (1988).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;ve mentioned that Eddie Money&#8217;s hits are each unique. To my knowledge, &#8220;Walk on Water&#8221; is his only one with &#8220;na na na&#8221; important in its lyrics. It hearkens back to Byran Adams&#8217; &#8220;Cuts Like a Knife.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen I listened to &#8220;Walk on Water,&#8221; I recognized its catchy &#8220;na na na &#8230;&#8221; chorus. I&#8217;ve heard it on the radio, unaware whose it was. To me, Eddie Money is such an artist: numerous of his hits are often played, but I don&#8217;t know they&#8217;re his. Until a few days ago, I wasn&#8217;t aware &#8220;Baby Hold On&#8221; was his, either.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Walk on Water&#8217;s&#8221; lyrics easily match an oft-reported situation. The errant boy, trying to convince a girl he&#8217;s good enough, is a resounding theme in 80s songs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEddie Money, to my knowledge, wasn&#8217;t a glam-rock style of artist. Yet, &#8220;Walk on Water&#8221;, especially with its guitar solo, could have been a glam-rock song. Eddie Money&#8217;s voice broadcasts working-class, however; moreover, in &#8220;Walk on Water&#8217;s&#8221; video, his band maintains the working-class image.<\/p>\n<p>For me, &#8220;Walk on Water&#8221; is a great discovery, 31 years (OMG&#8230;that long ago????) after its release. But when you research the Money Man, you find treasure that ages well.\n<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/artist\/eddie-money-mn0000141838\/biography\">allmusic.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=eddie+money+hits&#038;rlz=1C1AFAB_enCA482CA482&#038;oq=eddie+money+hits&#038;aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.6528j1j7&#038;sourceid=chrome&#038;ie=UTF-8\">Google search: Eddie Money hits<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7FdYRq8-6kM\">YouTube: EddieMoneyVevo: Walk on Water<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/Eddie-money-walk-on-water-lyrics\">genius.com<\/a><\/p>\n\nJack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-tutoring about the &#8220;Money Man&#8221;: the tutor discovers &#8220;Walk on Water.&#8221; Continuing about Eddie Money: In my research, I&#8217;ve encountered songs of his I never knew.
