I was doing some research on this song cuz my band wants to play it. I'm popsting this 'cause I really dig the sound they got on his bass in a less-than-optimal situation ....
... and the lead singer's a lefty, so that's a bonus!
Arguably the greatest 1 hit wonder band of them all. My cover band plays it. (Come to think of it, doesn't everybody?). Always goes over well. Years ago my original band opened for them too. I say "them", but I think it's primarily been the lead singer and an assembly line of floating musicians over the past few decades. I'm guessing the bassist is using flats.
