(1,296 posts)Geesh. A really good one!
Good thing that they never sold themselves out to the likes of GLAD Reynolds Wrap/Saran Wrap or anything else...like some do.
You know how the Madison Avenues' "strategies" operate - interject that first, initial feeling(s) when listening to the tune and then all of a sudden, morph it into some kind of commercial prospect and hope to hell that that - particular sentiment not only drips..but does indeed carry over - right? Like, no questions asked.
Pushing sentimental buttons...as it were ~
Hence, increased sales as a result.
For some, maybe. For most, I reckon - not so much.
Nope.
Sorry.
No can do.
...and I'm glad about that.
Glad?
Yep.
Glad all over ~ ~ ~ ~
You betcha.
Glad all over.....

(1,296 posts)To me, the melody asks a question and then turns right around and answers it...while never *skipping a beat.*
Perhaps a real pre-cursor to punk. In essence. In its purely stark shade and/or stage.
I dunno. I think you are on to something here, to be honest...though I can't quite place my finger on it ~ ~ ~
For me, what comes to mind...is this particular (though not so original) driving, hard beat by Guns & Roses:
Do they share things/timing in beat which I kind of think that you were originally alluding to, am I right? Yes? No? You be the judge.
No matter really because ya know what? It's all good...and you can take that to the bank, my loyal friend.

I'll try to calm down, now.
