A lot of people hate on this track, but I think it's a great little number. The dry production and that horrible drum sound take away from it, as do some of the campier lyrics. On the upside--killer bridge, as others have noted. Supremely funky. It coulda been a contender if a few better decisions were made in the production process. Too bad some of the down n dirty blues feel of

Quotebitusa2012 Quoteandrewt QuoteWitness However, the Four Tops' version of the Monkees' hit "Last Train to Clarksville" appears to me as an ideal case of the definition of 'filler'. Can we agree that the Stones version of the Temptations hit "My Girl" is filler? No, it's a cover, not a filler. And a good one. Interesting perspective.

I like to think that he saved up a fair bit scratch from the 12/13 tour, and MJ gave him the number of a good financial advisor and that he's coasting comfortably at the moment. Then Ronnie will round him up for a blues night in London during hiatus. Too bad he's not out there on the big stage making magic right now but that's how the cookie crumbles.

The whole coining of the phrase "Scarf Me Up" and the creation of the character of Keith's scarf- the malevolent force that is really behind all those blown opening riffs. That's message board magic.
