Unceremoniously lumped in with the post-punks and C86, Orange Juice were really nothing of the sort. The Glasgow band were out to make catchy pop numbers which took them away from the dark and gloomy introspection of the post-punks. They almost did it with this number. Sure, it is catchy, with that memorable chorus, but that apart, there was a lot wrong with this, though it took me a good listen to it again recently to realise what it was. The bass line is horrible and mushy - like walking through soft fruit. The sax solo is out of place and the cheery effects do nothing to improve. This is the better end of the sort of music which turned people off eighties music. It could have been so much more.
