It is a great song. But you don't have to dissect this song so deep because it's actually really simple. The song sounds like The Police (the band). The Police were hot new and popular around the time this song came out. I guess BOC made this song as a way to give The Police a positive shout out.

Nothing against The Who. I respect The Who's labor they put into the OG days of brit rock. Out of all the OG Brit Rock bands (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, The Who) The Who is the least I cared for. I do consider The Who to be way better than Black Sabbath. I kinda think BS is a bit overrated.

Thing is, the "80's sound" as we now know it didn't fully exist in 81 so this song is more in the line of a "missing link" in the evolution and transition of music from the 70's to the 80's. These guys weren't trying to fit into the "80's sound", the were creating it.

Blue Oyster Cult was one of the most diverse bands from the 70's/80's. They could rip your face off with songs like "Dominance and Submission" then go completely in a different direction with something like "Astronomy". Then they had the more pop driven songs like this one. Just one of the most underappreciated bands and one of my top five favorite bands.

Guitarist is Donald Rosier, nicknamed Buck Dharma. It's his hallmark to be what I would call melodically dense, he's brilliant at it. He got his nickname because his father (who has the same name) was a famous jazz sax player in New York, and when the band first started out there, they would bill as Blue Oyster Cult featuring Donald Rosier, but they kept accidentally getting booked into jazz clubs. The band was really good at those smooth integrated background vocal. They actually have several singers through the years that would sometime sub as the lead in particular songs. Their real main vocalist is actually Eric Bloom, who has a very different style, but still sounds great in my opinion. Another couple of good fairly mainstream songs of theirs would be Veteran of the Psychic Wars, which was on the Heavy Metal soundtrack album, and Black Blade. Another couple of fan faves would be Astronomy, and Sub-Human. They're all great, but those last two are really spectacular for my tastes. A hidden gem would be Tenderloin.

Part of this album was the story of the movie Heavy Metal. Their song "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" was on this album and in the movie. There are other songs on the album that were not in the movie, but tell parts of the movies story.

Hi Dan. I mentioned that just now, had not seen your comment yet. “Veteran “ was placed so awesomely into that movie.

BOC can always write a hit when they wanted, but also keep you looking for that obscure stuff they have made so much of. Talented band that I have been lucky to see a few times.......and absolutely great live.

Now that you guys have done the two commercial songs for the band, time to dive deeper into their catalog to the stuff that the fans enjoy. This song and Reaper both written and sung by guitarist Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser. These are the two songs when I see them in concert (they’re still touring) that I know they’ll play, but i don’t care if I hear. Nothing against these two, but the rest of their catalog is much more enjoyable. Easy to pick out the people that don’t know the band, as they’re the ones that are sitting on their hands most of the show, but get up and dance to these two songs. Forms good indication of who this band is, look at their first three albums (pre-Reaper). Cities On Flame with Rock and Roll Then Came the Last Days of May The Red and The Black Hot Rails to Hell Mistress of the Salmon Salt Subhuman Dominance and Submission ME 262 Flaming Telepaths Astronomy Many other good songs after the Reaper, but those first three albums set the stage. And no song sounds like the last one you heard. Very diverse. 70’s-80’s all five members wrote songs, most sang lead on their songs, so the sound is hard to pigeonhole. Enjoy!

Back in the day I recall this song was near perfection for a number of reasons. It helped usher rock from the 70s to the 80s. The post segregation babies were coming of age. This was a catchy commercial rock tune from a group that was very much identified (true or not) with the whole LaVey and devil worshipping intrigue going on at the time in rock music. As well it got crazy rotation at teen and college parties because people loved to dance to it.

I’ve decided I like your reactions the best out of everyone. Usually I hate it when the videos are not watched because the visuals add an extra feel to the track. However you guys are obviously music lovers and I like the way you guys dissect and discuss parts of the songs that you enjoy. So kudos to you guys being different. I hope one day you guys give B-52’s a chance? But please no love shack!!! Either Private Idaho or Give Back My Man? I think you guys would get a kick out of them. Thanks guys 👍🏻☺️

Cult is so deep, so diverse, very eclectic & sometimes with a touch of humor …. never readable. Some songs heavy, some commercial, some campy the reason they are my 2nd favorite band behind Rush. Try heavy: Tattoo Vampire, Cities on Flame, After Dark, Monsters.
