This song only needs 2 words to describe it - "utterly and "brilliant". Anyone agree??

[Mia-N-Dan]

So sad to wake up and hear about Karl passing.
RIP Mr. Wallinger

I love this song absolutely. It has really strong links to important moments throughout my life. It's an incredible work of music, work of art, reflection on history, life and philosophy.
Oh, and the riffs, melodies, and choruses. Just brilliant.
RIP in peace, dear Karl.

Was remodeling my 1st house when this song was big. Loved it. I wasn't even sure who the band was haha. I just loved the song. Then my wife and I went to a John Cougar concert in Cincinnati, and I went down to buy a couple beers and I hear this song. I look left, I look right.. I'm like what the heck! LOL got my beers and ran up to the concourse. World Party was the warmup. That was great.

Every album from World Party is a classic. This song is just amazing.

[lRedPosion]

Jeez it's almost like the studio version. These guys are so awesome live!

[davidpate]

Karl is perhaps the most under rated songwriter of all time, World Party rocks! "And God said look after the planet, look after the planet....but man said, FUCK YOU!"

[thebadloser]

Possibly my favourite song of the 90s. Ray Davies at his peak would've been hard-pressed to better this.

[brucelee-woge]

Musicians and their songs, like this one, restore my faith in humanity.

[YungItalianHandz]

Karl and the band are criminally underrated. Song writing, arrangements, performance all absolutely genius level. Thank you so much.

[brianballard]

R i p Karl a true underrated genius !

[jamiefoyers]

Sad to see another great musician passing...saw a few World Party gigs back in the 90's. Top band and worthy lyrics.

"Baaang!"

This song is still mesmerizing, all these years later. 👏
