Weller did not rip this off because Weller does not have to rip anyone off. What Weller did was pay tribute to it. Thats what Weller has done through his whole career, paid tributes in his music to artists like the who, small faces, kinks, marriott, winwood, etc. there is a big difference between a rip off and a tribute. ..............Mindyou I'm a Weller fan so I'm bound to be biased, lol!!!
@MegaGupka For your information I do have the CD i was only commenting on the stupidity of creating a quality below what there already was. I have the CD and love it.
Jeff Lynn said he wanted ELO to take up were the Beatles left off, you can hear the influence, funny he ended up producing "Free as a bird" and "Real love"
@TheOneMightyOne Dear Prudence has the same falling notes in the Riff but I wouldn't call it the same. It's played on totally different chords and the pattern of the riff is different aswell - Although I love both songs.
love this song.....my mum calls me an old soul because i'm only 15 (well 16 in september) and love all the old stuff like music and tv programmes...XD
You know the line where he sings: Did his life flash by at the bedroom door? Before I found the actual lyrics for 10538, I always thought that the line was: Did his life flash by at the natural dawn!
Absolutely brilliant! I wish I'd lived through the 1970s, for all the 3 day weeks, Enoch Powell being a fool, British Leyland strikes and power cuts....but I've been told the food was a bit wholesome if unhealthy!
I don't think he was necessarily a fascist, IMHO. He was known to have consistently voted against reintroducing the death penalty and the like. There was a good program about it on Channel 4 recently with Rageeh Omar. They came to the conclusion that while his speech wasn't necessarily the right choice of words, he was able to foster a lot of healthy debate about it.
Weller you tinker!

I'm seriousley not being funny but who was the idiot who suggested that we should have a quality below 360p, he should be shot and put in a basket!
Great song by the way!

@jenks1937 Dear Prudence- whatever anyone says about them nicking it from the beatles- they're both intensely brilliant songs.
