The 70s were the absolute best in music history! There will never be another time.DISCO,ROCK TOP40 Ruled! It makes me sad that we peaked way back then.Im glad I grew up back in those days! Today's music is absolute SHIT!!! Wish I could go back just for the music alone!!!!! KiKi Kicked this songs ASS!!
I saw Kiki Dee as Elton John's warm-up act back in November of 1974. She showcased this song in her set and she had the whole Garden (Madison Square Garden) jumping. I have always loved this song. It is so upbeat and it can even make the most depressed of people want to jump up and sing. This is one helluva great song.
@LochRaven62 Only just had a chance to look at it again- some of the lyrics only appear as they're being sung, and 'When something gets in my way I go around it' actually comes up a little later than the verse. This is fine if you know the words but if you're trying to learn them this is not a good tool! Ideally you need the entire verse to come up about 1/2 second - 1 second before the verse is sung so you can sort out the timing!
That's amazing Indianola Side Kicks did that for show choir this year. It was amazing. Also go look up Indianola Side 1. It's amazing to. You should all watch it. I liked it.
36 years later, this song is still STUNNING in its power. It starts with the rumble of a rocket on the lauchpad and then goes soaring into hyperdrive on the wings of Kiki's voice.
WOW! I recall when Kiki was a hot artist...and this song pushed through the slag heap to the top. She was and still is a very fine singer. I've been blessed with seeing two shows of hers...21NOV74 during Elton's triumphant American tour in Largo, MD at the Capital Centre, and at the Bayou in Washington, D.C. on 06DEC78. Kiki Dee is an icon and a treasure. Bless her.
@pinz2022: I think you're right, but putting lyrics over a live performance would be extremely annoying. I try to pick songs with pauses of at least some length between lines of lyrics so as to be able to place something in addition to the lyrics.

@ACWells13: And how would you suggest that I could have improved the timing, AC? Looks pretty spot on to me, and I DO only have WMM to work with.

For some reason this doesn't work for ol' Kiki. She's just one of those performers who ALWAYS comes off better live.
