Sounds like Tie Your Mother Down to me.
That's what I thought too, wasn't sure if that's what Ben was referring to.
Yeah, it's good! Hope there's lots of stuff like that, and not too much poop like Stop The World or Tragic Comic....
Aside from the obvious Queen-ness of the whole thing, I was referring to an old Tin Pan Alley/Vaudeville song with an identical hook called ...
You're A Star. PDT_008 When I heard the opening chorus, I smiled -- Extreme is great at doing stuff like this, and unless you are music-saavy, you will miss a lot of the allusions in their songs, not unlike Queen (whom they have always imitated).
I think that the song is great; it's certainly head and shoulders above any of the new singles appearing on Rock Band, the radio, or my son's iPod over the past year. (My Chemical Romance notwithstanding)
A lot of metallers disliked the slower stuff on
III. I don't mind it. I certainly think
Stop the World (Another Broadway/Tin Pan Alley reference, by the way) is a much better-constructed song than
Rock A Bye Bye.
