Thank you for saying that. I remember people turning up their noses, and dismissing this as banal, but I thought it was brilliant - exuberant vocals underpinned by a killer rhythm section. If Nile Rodgers had done it they’d all think it was Mozart! (And I think NR is awesome, to be clear!)

Too simple. I don't know why anybody would make anything in the standard key system in 4/4. All the combinations have been used. We need music of greater and greater complexity, to push the limits of the human mind. Always greater complexity, never backwards. Backwards is death.

This song was released in the era of punk and new wave, when disenfranchised young people spoke out/sang against the establishment. It seems we need times of hardship to kindle that fighting spirit.

This was the first 45 I ever bought. Nine years-old and , if I do say so, very cool.

My favorite era so far (born 1961) 1978-1983

It's more like we're going back to the economy of 1929. Lots of good music then, though.

It's more like 1879 and even that is not early enough for them.

I remember in 1979 sitting in the gas lines and having to push your out of gas car up to the pump. But I was a teenager in the So Cal sunshine and the music was good.
