I completely love 10cc. They often get dubbed 'art rock' for their less than serious approach, yet had quite a bit of commercial success. More so, than say Frank Zappa. At times they sound like many groups, maybe out harmonize the Bee Gees, and even predated Air. This song is pure rock and roll, but given the J Dilla Stamp of approval by a looping or two. This era for 10cc was rock, cosmic, soft rock, funk and no holds barred. Ideas were over flowing in their creativity cup. It's great stuff, and if I ever have a band again, I'd like to cover this joint. It may be one of the best gimmick songs ever. I embrace them not taking themselves seriously, and its tons better 'cause they pull it off so well.
