If Music Could Talk

Nice.

Perfect. Just perfect...

You are indisputably correct. Just a fantastic four-and-a-half minutes.

Oh aye. Most peeps seem to prefer the live version, I've always like the studio version better, dunno why. But yeah - such a perfect lil song. (one of my bands used to play that tune, and always got peeps going).
EDIT: and I made our singer sing "...got my Clash records on", instead of, ya know...

Haha, nice touch. Though KISS are a perfectly reasonable proposition.

Oh I know, the lyric's perfect as is. We were just trying to be cool (or I was).

I do like the studio version. Punkier.

I actually thought it was tighter, tauter, or something. The 'Live at Budakahn' album was huge here in the States and "Surrender" and "I Want You to Want Me" got tons of play on KQRS-FM, the "classic rock" station here, probably still do. But I always thought the engineering/sound of the album was too weak for how the band was putting out. It's still considered one of the great live albums, I reckon.

They try way too hard to be punk. Great tune though.

Billie Joe is genuinely capable of being a great frontman but his way of getting into the zone, the outside yourself shaman wipeout of a true musician, is pure derivative performativeness from a Bad Religion tape.

When you have a one song setlist and don't have to worry about energy conservation. Yeah, the little bit at the end was a bit much, but otherwise that was fun.

I enjoy this intro from around that same time:

It's also a bit much, but the way he just cuts right into the verse is fun.
