You're right. Robbie van Leeuwen, who wrote it, admitted he was influenced (to put it mildly) by The Who's Pinball Wizard (intro) and (I believe) The Beatles' Ticket to Ride. To great effect, I must say. |

I do wonder though, why didn't the songwriter try rhyming any words with Venus??

Never thought about it, but these guys and The Who would both be 1969. Funny to hear it on RP though. What's next - Green Eyed Lady?

Didn't mean to be rude - hopefully he hasn't lost his sense of humor, only his addictions.

Thank you, thank you for that honest opinion.
This is not the time nor the place.
A cover of it by Poe...there's an open mind here.

I can't listen to the refrain of this song without thinking of that stupid razor comercial.
TV has ruined another perfectly good song. I wish I had it here first!
