This song is a textbook lesson in restraint on the drums. Eight cymbal crashes in total!! Eight. Not twenty. Eight. The offbeat accents on the hi-hat are brilliant, too. The groove is incredible. I always cite this perfect song as a "less is more" example. Malcolm Green is, and will always be, one of my favorite drummers in one of my favorite bands ever!

One pharmaceutically-enhanced night in 1981 (after an evening’s gainful employment in a lounge), I discovered these guys, and the Police, within a few minutes of each other on Casey Kasem’s “America’s Top 10:” All of a sudden, I loved Rock ’n’ Roll again. (I hadn’t been this blown away by the sound of a band’s instruments since “H. P. Lovecraft II,” fifteen years earlier.) A cut from one of my personal “Ten Greatest Rock Band” LP’s.

Interesting I never heard of this considering it's strong song structure. Thinking this is a free flowing jam session makeover waiting to happen. At 1.125x speed it's obvious it could've been catchy especially with the embracing creative production treatment similar to like Michael Jackson got during the same time period. I don't know though; easier to say than do and glad to stumble across this!

Sounds to me to be running a fraction too fast, it's made the pitch shift up a semi-tone from the original key, and it also makes Neil's vocals sound fractionally chipmunk like. For an official video the band deserve much better than this, whoever posted it for them I think they cocked it up. Listen to any live version of Neil Finn's, or Crowded House (or fans channels who've posted the same promo, and done a better job) the song should sound in the key of G, not Ab.
