Influence

The poppiest element of the song, and most likely the one that got it to climb the British hit parade, is the insistent, uplifting chorus, which is followed by a typically verging-on-undisciplined, raw bluesy guitar solo. May slightly changes the melody of the verse when he returns after the break, adding a little more urgency to a song that was already plenty propulsive. It was those kinds of little clever attentions to subtleties that belied the Pretty Things' image as crude musical louts, lifting them above most of the standard raw British R&B-derived rock groups of the mid-'60s in originality.[3]
