fatpizzaman:
The chorus is weaker than the rest of the song. I've learned, here on Youtube, that the Arrows had the usual manager/band/record company wrangle... presumably these two factors stopped it from being a major hit, but I'm just guessing.

Their debut record "touch too much" was top 10, but this their 2nd single got no promotion or even a bbc "top of the pops" telly appearance, which is normal for a band who had a hit single first time out. Arrows got screwed by their label!

The record should have been a hit, but wasn't promoted, that's true, but also as you say, the chorus doesn't flow as well as the rest of the song, I agree. The song has a nice groove and then hits the chorus like a car hitting speed bumps, all choppy with stops. I have a bootleg cassette recorded in 1975, and live, the band Arrows played straight through the chorus, no stops. It worked a lot better.

This is still a great song. I still Love it.
Just found that another glam rock band, Iron Virgin has his 70's Glam Rock platform boots up for auction on ebay.
