it's the stripped down crunchy with the fuzzy bumpalicious that is. ..take it off and shake your ass or go home cz there ain't no parking on the dance floor baby. btw haters, their 1st is a voodoo vision quest, unless the funky-est thing you've ever heard is steely dan or cake you should loosen up and try it. SD and beatles fans (excluding bill of course) ..give it up, you're never gonna get it.

Great tune from a great band.  In my mind it seems to be the mark of great bands/performers when you see them live and their music compares favorably to their disc versions, meaning that the live performance reveals the musicians' true talent without any production wizardry.  I just saw them live in Fresno (huge venue), and they were really excellent.  In fact, they grasp that their fans really dig hearing just the 2 bro's playing, so after they had played a few numbers w/ a rhythm guitar, keyboard, and bass accompaniment, they informed us that they were going to play a bunch more as just a duet, and rock out they did.

There's a nice back story to this show.  As it turned out, my 13-year old son had a soccer game in Fres the day before the show, so unbeknownst to him, I bought some tix, and got us a hotel room for a couple of nights so I could take him to this show.  He was thrilled when I told him after the soccer game why we weren't going home right away.  The icing on the cake is that the Keys are his favorite band, this was his first concert, AND he got to miss 2 days of school!  Wooo-hooo.

I'm with all the other listeners who despair hearing good music get ruined by overplay, but even though I hear this song several times a week — I had to tell the kiddo not to put the Keys on repeat play when I could hear it — I still really enjoy it.

The first time I heard that guitar intro, I thought it was going to be a cover of "Love Is Like Oxygen" by The Sweet, but it rapidly changed after that.  Good tune, at any rate

This song has never been played more than once a day — once every 3 days is more like it (& only 'cuz it's new — that'll be down to 3x per month before long). 
 
It's probably a thing like earworms. The song is catchy and so you notice it when it gets played. It might not get played any more often than any other new song, but it catches you and you notice it.
