according to David (and I have his answer saved in an e-mail), why was "Choir Boy" and "Fame" dropped from Up Off The Floor?

too expensive to place a cover on a record, and choirboy wasn't as thick as the rest of the record?

very good try actually, that would make sense but its actually a little less complicated than even that!

Fame had already been on the 15 minutes soundtrack...and they liked the number 10 better?

Choirboy was sold to EMI and they didn't have the rights by the time they were going to release UOTF......

I'll post a piece of David's e-mail to me from back in 2004 with the answer later this weekend...

e-mail from David to me after discussing the dropping of the 2 songs (the answer is as simple as being outvoted):

choir boy and fame omitted due to votes. i voted keep
em, gary and jeff voted, nix em. the end. i actually
dont feel one way or the other at this point. Perhaps
they can get released later in some other format.
