Tuesday Tuneage
Streetheart - "Under My Thumb"
1979

Dry funk or ist es Kraftwerk-influenced? Punk-ish vocal or is it Brit-influenced? Mott-like chanting during the chorus, piano fills, weird synth noises that date it, handclaps, garage rock organ. Partially responsible for Loverboy. Long long long guitar solo to remind the boys that this is a rock song yeahhhh, whole shebang saved in end by GNR-anticipating move of whispering a mantra, in this case non-Stones lyrics.
