    The kinetics of the baseline when hit at the right cadence makes this song groove like no other. A masterpiece. Not such a great backup here, but when the Aces honed it into the right groove, the baseline becomes divine. This song and Sugar sugar are so elementally perfect they will never age.

    "Gets up in the morning slaving for bread. So that every mouth can be fed . . ." Yep! Heard that quite a few mornings at LZ Sally back in 1968 while we stood in line waiting for our C-rations for breakfast. So that every mouth could be fed. What an apt song with apt timing.

      No, but for real, though -- this is what happens when you take reggae away from Jamaica and put it in the disco halls of the UK -- the funny and overwrought facial expressions and hair dos kind of show what it is I'm talking about -- heavy drugs is what I'm seeing, and it's kind of hard to watch, honestly.
