The Move - It wasn't my Idea to Dance

[yesand2005]

Just your typical oboe-bass-drums power trio:) Pure genius from one of the world's all-time greatest albums.

This song gives me the chills. You won't believe how many years I looked for it. If I had to pick one song this would be on the short list.

[andreaprodan]

sounds like the darker side of The Nice.

[Mst3kRowsdower]

Love The Move. Way ahead of their time. If you think this is a heavy song, check out "Don't Make My Baby Blue" from The Move's Shazam.

[tigranvartanovitch]

There a lot of good tracks on this album. I like this one the best, I think.

[mauricemorning]

One of the most unusual pop songs of all times. I could listen to it everyday.

[nismosonic]

Ben Crawley Steel Company is on this album.. lyrics by Bev Bevan, a classic. Words of Aeron is my fave on this album.

[amusia111]

And Roy Wood did the cover painting too!

[Hulloder]

This song should be in some Victorian period piece or something.

[weatherboxlisp]

This marks the transition between mod genius and lofty prog grandeur. What a changeover! The Move are unequivocally one of the best bands who ever walked the face of the earth.

[kenfig]

Yeah & a very underrated album this one too with many great tracks including 'Worlds of Aaron' & the title track

[makemebleede]

[jmad1952]

Thanks.

[crazystarwarsguy1006]

Roy Wood's a freeking genius

[macca157]

A classic Move song , i can't stop playing this. :)

[FinnMove]

Such an ethereal feel as in the whole

album Message from the Country. Bass guitar

is in a very different role compared to

pop- songs usually.

[DasGestalt]

This song gives me goosebumps and chills up my spine. Thanks for posting.

[andyscenic]

love it. so heavy and thick and funny.

[actron]

ha ha.Perfect choice of words to describe my thoughts of this song, great comment.

[akie64]

fantastic song, such a wicked bass sound.

MFTC is a great album, all salute to Roy Wood.

[FinnMove]

But I think Jeff Lynne´s contribution on this album is a bit better.

Strange they are not available on these pages

besides the Words of Aaron in the TV- show.

[laineycrusoe]

Cor, this is good! Thanks for posting

[Kegwithlegs]

The "pop" band that were a good "rock" band!

[yournotjohn]

INSANE SONG!!!! The best! Is that a Rickenbacker bass? I had the same tone with one.

[tomhits]

The whole album has been much underrated or not even been taken much notice of.But one of my all time fav.great stuff on it.

[gahagan7]

Fantastic bass sound! Nearly blew my Bose!

[fruitybuckfoot]

Bloody amazing sound from bloody amazing blokes! Glad to know Roy and Bev

Fruity

[ESaetre]

"Message From The Country" is a brilliant album! And this song is just marvellous. Roy Wood is a genious beyond belief. I do agree with the posts under here. Underrated and overseen.

[matt27]

[15chipshops]
