I really liked this album in college.  Less so now, but Squonk is one of the best from "Trick of the Tail".  I can't really listen to "A Trick of the Tail", the song, anymore without grimacing.

Had a 60-second chat with Dave on the merits (or utter lack thereof) of the Rod Stewart lyric.  Sez I, "so if she's a virgin, and her inhibitions are running wild, I don't think he's gettin' any.  Do you?"  He agreed that this was probably so.

Anyone know of any other songs where the handclaps Do Not Quit for pretty much the entire duration of the song?

Was just about to say I was digging the bari sax part on that tune--and then we get PTFM,WB, which also has a prominent bari part. It's a baritone-sax twin spin! (Well, sorta....)

Maybe I'm the only one who thinls "Play That Funky Music" is a gimmicky and inferior "Thank U," but . . .  WOS.
