I gave it a 5. It’s one of those kind of transcendent pop songs that everybody seems to know, and I’ve never really gotten tired of it.

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

My friend at work and I always make fun of this song ( in a light hearted way ) - we sneak up behind each other and go " SAME AS IT EVER WAS ! "

Not bad by any means, but I can't find much of anything special in it, so I gave it 2 stars.

We all know that James was at his lowest point here, but I like the loose vibe of it with the various jams, snippets and extended sections.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Clever!

I'm indifferent; I generally think the Talking Heads are over-rated, and while this is one of their better songs, it's still not one that has played a significant part of my life.  I'd personally give it a three out of five.
