I love this song, yes, blah blah blah, utterly true... I just want to
mention that the hook/chorus for some reason is, in my heart and ear,
one of the most powerfully beautiful musical creations ever. The
harmony... keeping that top voice (not the lead but highest harmony
vocal) STAY up on the tonic over the changes... just freaking
brilliant. Why this song wasn't a bigger hit when it hit is beyond me.
It has no less awesomeness to it than similar hits like (for example)
10cc's The Things We Do For Love. Just wonderful.

I feel the same way about this song. Carl added two musicians from
South Africa and went to Holland to record this album. Discovered that
Blondie Chaplin sang it better than he did. There is another great
Brian composition on Holland called Funky Pretty. Never gets much
attention, but is also awesome.
