    One of the most fantastic PowerPop

    This should have been promoted
    bigtime,but as it stands it still
    encapsulated an era that came and went
    way too fast and should not be ignored.

    I'm 49 years old, born in 1973, and remember this song when it first came out. My 10 year older Uncle turned me onto them, and I've listened to them ever since, and never stopped. They guys made great upbeat happy music. The kind of music you can listen to driving down the highway, in a Jeep, with the wind hitting your face, while you are having one of the most enjoyable and memorable times of your lifer. Hey! 🥁 🎸 🎶 ❤

      Not to mention, they had Michael Hutchence. Everybody that knows that there was just something about them that sucked people in. the personality the look the attitude. The producers for good. They had a really good sound of really well previous songs, but you can tell from this video they came out, hitting heavy, like they were mega stars but just didn’t have that hidden magic. It takes to go from good to super.

    • @pendragonU
      @pendragonU Před 3 měsíci

      ​@@e.m.b2834the Beatles themselves missed that too, and succeeded regardless... Lennon went to say that if he could have convinced Smokey to sing with that golden voice over his poor nasal drone in the Beatles, he and Macca would have been beyond happy to sing chorus to him and their records improved to where they couldn't perfect it. In fact Paul had to take lead often because the songs required higher notes than John couldn't. Not that McCartney's or Harrison's were a superior class either. Forget about Ringo's. They missed a true gifted singer for the top quality of lyrics they concocted. And they knew it. Which is why many have done better on sales for the unmatched songwriting quality of songs Bob Dylan has ever crafted. And still with his poor quality old man voice when he was still young, his star flew high. But Beatles original manager and followers, as Bob Dylan's knew they had gold and made superior efforts to place their acts out there and beyonds. Many with less talents have been sold like French fries however having no burger meat on the happy meals. Production before the Age of DiY online Media and Taylor Swift own management

      @georgfriedrichhandel4390 Před 2 lety +15

      The main reason was that they were badly mismanaged by all their labels. After their first two albums, their original label dropped them for some reason. In 1989, they recorded another album for MCA Records, one of the top labels in the 80s, but for some reason, MCA never released it; it was finally released 12 years later by another label but didn't do well. Their last LP, recorded in 2012, was never released at all. These stupid music execs didn't know a good thing when they had it.

      It's older chords, in an almost rag-time but uptempo into Power Rock. Paul McCartney had the same background, and one can pick the bits of it in many of his songs and those with Lennon in The Beatles (Obladi-Oblada the most obvious) he acquired such, from listening to his father own band playing Ragtime music already way old after WW2

      And neither were they multi-platinum..or even platinum..though they should've been.

      @@phishbill Oh no they hit platinum with the 1st album and were the 1st mtv mega stars, but as fate would have all the 1st 10 bands aired on mtv, they all were 1 shot wonders either by song, video, or album although The Producers managed to do well with their 2nd album also but by the 3rd were yesterday's hotshots.

      @@kgtmustang Sorry, dOOd, but you're trafficking in alternate facts there. Their self-titled first album only got as far as #163 on the Billboard 200 album chart, not exactly making it platinum..and their subsequent albums wouldn't even chart that high. And amongst the first ten bands on MTV were The Who, The Pretenders, REO Speedwagon-not exactly one-hit wonders. The Producers were terribly overlooked in their time, though. They deserved better.
