May 31, 2009 - "In Pop Your Arts it's hfjsadkljbrkleg and now we're going to do a Rita Coolidge number for you--this is 'Statue of Liberty.'"

Mojambosucks Says:

Jun 30, 2009 - This song is very "This Year's Model". I dig it

Aug 12, 2009 - AP says at the beginning "You can pop your acid Spangle in there now, were going to do a Rita Coolidge number.."Spangles were a popular UK sweet/candy in 60's and 70's, one of the flavours being 'Acid Drop'.

Aug 22, 2009 - or maybe the Police reminds you of XTC ;)

bipcuds Says:

Sep 18, 2009 - I'd say it sounds like a cross between "This Year's Model" and Joe Jackson. Everyone was doing the dub/reggae backbeat thing then, but the Police weren't quite as jerky in their execution.

Oct 23, 2009 - "Impaled on your hair, what do you do do do ta me?" Ha, love this song.

CombatRocks Says:

Apr 3, 2010 - XTC - one of the most under-rated bands in British music history. Fantastic songs and lyrics.

bluepowder2008 Says:

Jul 20, 2010 - such an underated band......awesome workings

datalal624 Says:

Sep 14, 2010 - 32 years later, and this track is still just as crisp and fresh! (Not that I was around to hear it when it was new, mind you, but I think it sounds far less dated than many of the big hit-makers of 1978).

imbwinkle Says:

Jan 4, 2011 - they are a grand band, but they're under-rated b/c they didn't tour. Too bad, but check AP's record label (APE) lots of good up-n-comers

izakpolman Says:

Jan 14, 2011 - Terry Chambers was still there!Thanks for posting.

Jul 1, 2011 - No way this is a Rita Coolidge cover.
