Worked in Top 40 radio when this was a monster hit. We played this too much. Enough time has passed that it is now just a pleasant memory. Plus, he stopped in once to our station and couldn't have been nicer.
I'm an old rocker. Rip the knob off, turn it to 11.
This sweet little pop ditty is really, really good. Doesn't mean I don't need to hear something from Audioslave to clear the palate, but this song is a delight.
This song hit while my Navy squadron was deployed on a cruise. We all had the hots for Susanna Hoffs. Ending the cruise with no flights scheduled, we played the video continuously in the ready room, trying for a record "WLAE" Centurion Patch (commemorating played 100 times).
Did a backstage meet-and-greet with the band at the height of their popularity. We all had the hots for Susanna as well. Many of us tried to engage her in conversation. What worked, to our surprise, was one of our guys talking rabbits. She apparently had a pet rabbit at the time and we all stood in amazement as they chattered away. The rest of us were invisible.
I'm 74 3/4 -- and I just "discovered" Big Thief today, and I love this song. So am I still hip?
Turning 62 this weekend. When it comes to music, I out-hip most of my baby coworkers.
This was released almost three weeks from now!
The power of RP.

This song really sucks.
You just can't have a banjo and a violin section play on the same song.

I saw them in 1969 at the Texas Pop Festival. Once was all I needed.
Is your time machine available to rent?
80s sound. And not in a good way.
20s comment. And not in a good way.
ELO was a big deal in 1970’s. Fun to hear this but cut off at that repetitive refrain, heard too many times.
Kind of the point. You can't get it out of your head.
The hook, the sound, one of those songs , could go on forever.
Agree. That is a big fat hook. So good.
As an atheist, I appreciate the expression of faith, who am I to judge. Some of the most beautiful music is rooted in the expression of faith!
As a believer, I thank you for your thoughtful and kind comment.

All these years I thought he was talking about weed when he mentions the fine Colombian ^
Talk about a shift in thought. What a maroon I've been.
He IS talking about weed. Tequila and blow is a terrible combination.
