I'm curious, Eldomm, what do you have against that song? I think it's brilliant, a masterpiece of construction. The alternating bars of 6 and 7, the chord progression over a B that has almost every chord in the tonality except B, the way it kicks into straight 4 as it simultaneously brings the ostinato up a half-step, the bars of 3, the overall odd structure with two verses, a chorus, and out...
I'm not saying that clever writing is all it takes, but this is some damned impressive structure, and it's still a catchy song and very few people realize how complex it is (until they're in a band that wants to cover it and have to figure all of this out). It's almost like Genesis saw how Rush manages to write prog-pop songs in 7 and get them on the radio, so they upped the ante and wrote one in 13.
