Ok, I go first. I think this is a good song. I know that Dirty Work hasn't very good fame. It's a bad album, in fact. But I like this one. Not a masterpiece, but, like the Rolling Stones once said, "It's only rock 'n roll". It has rythmn and harmonica, feeling and joy. Dirty - as the name of the album said - rock and roll.

Imo DW and UC are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. From the demos/outtakes available to us thru bootlegs we can say UT started in a very sh!tty way : song ideas were scarce and poor the working versions are 100% boring (try listen to PBUp I) but the band managed to turn manure into a final product (=the album) that's listenable.
For DW it was the opposite : lots of songs ideas, demos that are enjoyable (the UT demos are horrible) but (imo again) the more they worked on the album the less interesting the music got. It's as if the musical instinct Mick & Keef always had got killed and replaced by a musical vendetta between the Twins.
