Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet

1

Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet is the sixth studio album by Australian rock musician Rick Springfield, released by RCA Records in 1982. The album was certified platinum in the United States, and produced three top 40 singles: "Don't Talk to Strangers" (No. 2 for four weeks), "What Kind of Fool Am I" (No. 21, not the show tune of the same name) and "I Get Excited" (No. 32). "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "Calling All Girls" also received considerable album rock airplay, charting at No. 11 and No. 4 respectively. Billboard said of the single "I Get Excited" that it "lacks the irresistible dynamics and killer hook of 'Don't Talk to Strangers'" and that it "rehashes the formulas of Springfield's past hits," such as "the guitar opening of 'Jessie's Girl.'" As the follow-up to the breakout album Working Class Dog, the album features cover art with a return of Springfield's pet Bull Terrier dog, Ronnie, this time enjoying the fruits of success. "Kristina" is a remake of the Bachman–Turner Overdrive song "Jamaica", using different lyrics.
