Somewhere between classic and dud. Not as good as "Miss You," but better than "I Was Made For Lovin' You." I'll take "Young Turks" as Rod's best jump-on-the-bandwagon moment.

I was heading out of the Loop this weekend when this song came on the radio, and it was PUMPING serious bass, Rod the least important element of the mix, a great driving song as I cruised down the lake. I generally disregarded this song before but for this week and perhaps onward, CLASSIC.

The Bee Gees fucking rule!

xposts to Alfred...Actually, it's weird...Young Turks might have meant as much to me as this one at the time it came out...but "Passion" is pretty good, too. I'll have to give it a good objective playing session between the three tracks. I'll let you know.

It's so dud it became classic. Revco's cover is also pretty fab.

Alfred, bless you for forcing me to remember Young Turks. It's not even logical in any way why I was so unbelievably crazy about that song when it came out. Now you force me to play it on my stereo at full volume and I am so happy to do it. Thanks.

Can't figure out if Passion is better...probably not, but I was so damn young. I worshipped my Passion 45 when I bought it. Sacred ground to me at 10 or 12 years of age.

― Bimble, Sunday, 29 April 2007 04:55 (eighteen years ago)

But I still say Da Ya is better than these because it makes you SHAKE YOUR ARSE!!!!

― Bimble, Sunday, 29 April 2007 05:00 (eighteen years ago)

And until you have played the bass line on your record player, you don't know what it means to live.

SURRENDER THE IPODS NOW! BUY A TURNTABLE.

Was too many people consider this rubbish classic.

Me and Mrs Vague were watching the video the other night - it's horrible - and I was saying how the ridiculousness is built into the song but Rod sings it like he's very aware how stupid it is - the video makes that super clear; also, Rod's history of girlfriends proves that he really just wants to nob himself; he watches himself on TV while he's with his bird during the video - obv this all adds up to CLASSIC.

― Noodle Vague, Saturday, 5 May 2007 09:35 (eighteen years ago)

"I Was Made For Loving You", "Miss You", "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" and "Shine a Little Love" are all way better.

― Geir Hongro, Saturday, 5 May 2007 09:40 (eighteen years ago)

There's a gazillion things that are better, G. But it's still classic.

― Noodle Vague, Saturday, 5 May 2007 09:44 (eighteen years ago)

For me it's just the bass, the drums and that special slide the guitar riff does that tells me "this is an infectious funky dance groove that can only be matched by Blondie's 'Rapture'". The internet radio station is playing Blur's "Boys & Girls" at the moment which is actually right in line with this as far as a good funky bass groove, though it misses some kind of magic of symmetry of the other two songs.

― Bimble, Saturday, 5 May 2007 09:44 (eighteen years ago)

"Boys & Girls" is certainly better although that one pays more debt to 80s New Romantics than it does to the "established middle aged superstars doing disco" wave of the late 70s.

― Geir Hongro, Saturday, 5 May 2007 09:46 (eighteen years ago)

Tremendously, absolutely, utterly and exhaustively dud, without reservation. A painful earsore if there ever was one.

― blunt, Saturday, 5 May 2007 10:26 (eighteen years ago)

And "Boys & Girls" is possibly worse btw.

― blunt, Saturday, 5 May 2007 10:27 (eighteen years ago)

― pretzel walrus, Saturday, 5 May 2007 15:18 (eighteen years ago)

The only good Rod Stewart song, obviously.

― The Brainwasher, Saturday, 5 May 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

This Taj Mahal song has really flipped my lid. Gotta love ILM. Where would I be without you guys?

― Bimble, Sunday, 6 May 2007 21:50 (eighteen years ago)

that album also has "attractive female wanted," which is hysterical.

Won't someone please answer my prayers
before I'm old and grey
(Attractive female wanted)
I've been lonely too long
all of my family think I'm gay

― the table is the table, Sunday, 6 May 2007 23:15 (eighteen years ago)

― the table is the table, Sunday, 6 May 2007 23:15 (eighteen years ago)
