As the song’s lyrics advise: “Don’t even bother trying to figure it out.” In “Two Girls In One” this woman uses “her ignorance to paint the world black and white.” She also uses “sex as a weapon.” The woman being described in the song is a bundle of contradictions. So, while on the surface, “Two Girls In One” may seem insightful, it isn’t telling us anything we don’t discover about any of the people we get to know. When you get to know most people, male or female, you discover there are different sides to them. The song is about a woman who has different sides of herself: The part of her who is a feminist, and the side of her who wears makeup The person she wants to be and one she’s become The one who doesn’t want to get married, but who wears a nose ring so some man can “pull her around ” Someone who likes her men “sensitive and vulnerable,” but also wants he man to have “muscles” and “a lot of hair on his chest.” “Two Girls In One” is a song written by Moe Berg. In the spring The Pursuit of Happiness released the studio album One Sided Story. The debut single from the album was “Two Girls In One”. While Susan Murumets was added on backing vocals. And in 1990 Brad Barker joined the band on bass guitar and backing vocals, after Stanwyck and Sinclair left. In 1990 “I’m An Adult Now” was re-issued and made it to #6 on the Alternative Airplay chart on Billboard, as well as #39 on the Australian pop singles chart. Subsequently, “Beautiful White” made the Top 40 in Vancouver later that year. That year the band released their debut studio album Love Junk. In 1989 “She’s So Young” climbed to #19 in Hamilton, and made the Top 30 in Vancouver. In 1988 The Pursuit of Happiness released “Killed By Love”. The Amabile sisters left to concentrate on their own band, and were replaced by Kris Abbott (guitar and backing vocals) and Leslie Stanwyck (backing vocals) in early 1988. In the spring of 1987, “I’m An Adult Now” peaked at #14 on CKOC in Hamilton, Ontario. Their debut single, “I’m an Adult Now”, quickly became a Top 30 hit across Canada in 1986, sparked by a low-budget video (made by Berg’s director friend Nelu Ghiran) which made it onto the Canadian music video channel MuchMusic. They soon met bassist Saskatoon native Johnny Sinclair and formed the band, adding Winnipeg-born sisters Tamara and Natasha Amabile as backing vocalists. The Pursuit of Happiness were launched in 1985 when he and Troc ’59 drummer Dave Gilby moved to Toronto. From his late teens, Berg was in the Edmonton bands Troc ’59, The News, Modern Minds and Facecrime. He watched his father play in country bands while he grew up, and spent his time admiring guitarists like Eddie Van Halen, Jeff Beck and Johnny Winter. Murray Kevin “Moe” Berg was born in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1959.
