Sheer magic. I was 13 when this came out, and it strongly re-awakens the flavours of the time in my memory. Back when I knew nothing of the troubles of the world and everything seemed simple. Tastes good.

[@ELEcomments]

My great uncle. I'm a Gold too. His dad, Ernest Gold was my dad's uncle's brother. Sadly I never got to meet any of them they were part of the family that migrated to the States while my dad's ancestors went to Canada. The split was completely by accident but everyone just settled where they were. I only know this because my dad told me how his uncle kept in contact with Ernest and told him all about what he was like.

[@BRI535D]

I was 26 years old when this song came out.71 years old and it is still my most favourite song of all time.

This song reminds me of Phillipa, I was maybe 14, when the song came out, I was so shy, my first real crush, gypsy skirts, granny boots, that was the fashion for girls then. I can still see her, long black hair and deep brown eyes. I heard from old school friends, she lost her battle with cancer last year. Maybe we can meet again, as we were then, in the next life...

A song that Foo Fighters Dave Grohl called “the most beautiful piece of music ever written”, and one that always takes me back to my seventies childhood.

[@misstury606]

That's what brought me here also. Dave says he plans on covering it too.

[@Glesga_lassie]

I love Dave, Foo Fighters are my favorite band, but this song gives me the heebie jeebiez... I think it's because it was covered by a group in the UK in the early 90s at a time in my life when something pretty awful happened to me, and now when I hear it it just makes me feel yucky, which is sad as I can see the influence this, and other songs of its ilk, have had on Dave's song writing. It's literally only one of a couple of song that do that to me. Typical lol.

It has that effect on millions to this day Keith; You don't have to explain since we all feel it too. After years of trying to get a multi-channel copy of this(audio engineer) I was able to finally isolate the backing vocals and confirmed what has been an "open secret" behind this song for so long; It is indeed the legendary Freddie Mercury on harmonies as you can really hear him when the line "on a school date" comes up.

7. The hand clapping game. ( Similar sound can also be heard in the song “ Heartache Tonight “ by Eagles) BOOM! PAK BOOM BOOM! PAK! BOOM PAK BOOM BOOM PAK!…………………

[@k_DAN]

@@hyperboytkl1077 Similar? this is exactly the " Heartache Tonight " beat. Gold released this in '78. Eagles released HT in '79. Someone in the Eagles heard this and used it.

[@hyperboytkl1077]

@@k_DAN Well, either way great epic beat sound in music back in the day! One of a kind! Thank you for sharing the information. May I also share, here in my country the Philippines, many Filipinos would play a similar game as kids using the similar clapping procedure of 2 or more people gathered round w/c I just don’t remember the name. The clapping is done whilst the players chant something like a nursery like rhyme and ending with a phrase “ READY, CAMERA ACTION!” The object of the game is to stare each other at the face without blinking, squinting , or moving a muscle. The first one who does, is the first one out and eliminated, continuing in succession until only one person remains. The last guy to remain wins the game.

Written to impress Andrew's girlfriend at the time - Laraine Newman of SNL fame. From the liner notes: "...The track was basically just a cheap synch, and a rhythm loop made by Brock and I pounding on a wall, and clapping: Boom, clap, ba-boom, clap. We overdubbed this about 22 times and made it sound huge and looped it into a repeating figure...."

This is a song that just gets it right. It has such a gorgeous melody and oh so innocent words. Of course the rhythmic keyboard is the songs key identifier. I remember hearing Andrew Gold say that it started on an almost toy organ but somehow it worked on that so it staid.
