The bit that you skip #297: Phil Collins – Something Happened on the way to heaven

For the longest of time I swore this was a single in late 88, early 89. It's from 1990, that strange year of music that gave us pop rap via Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. I'm always conflicted with this song. I love the horn intro, that clockwork snare intro and the slow swelling synth that elevates the song to a rarefied atmosphere.
