It was a B-side on a single, should be a A side, it rocks!

First impressions weren't great, I do remember that. I was one of those who didn't think 'it rocks'. Not compared to most of the tracks on Just Supposin'.But the album picked up after this song and after the 2nd track. Nothing wrong with the single. It was just I'd heard/played it a lot before the album came out. I don't mind the song. But it's more 'OK' to me than 'wow'. 6/10 now. 4/10 back then. People have moods

Like it a lot, one of my favourites from an album I actually don’t hold so high.

I like this one. The only drawback ....those squeaky backing vocals.. grrrrr
Ditch those and it elevates the track to a decent chug along . Listening to it whilst I type this , gawd they have got in my ear and really do grate !
Apart from that which is a complaint that runs throughout the album as a whole, this is one of the stronger and more likeable numbers.

It was a B-side on a single, should be a A side, it rocks! It was an A-Side in Spain. Still waiting to RTVE to upload the Aplauso '81 when it was played (playback, of course). It's an OK song for me. I hate the high-tuned backing vocals from Bernie, like every backing vocal from that period (cocaine induced I guess), maybe because of that it just OK.
