    I first heard this 50 years ago, when I was just 9 years old. It blew me away then, and it still does today. An amazing song!

    He deserves all the respect in the world for his input in this master piece. I heard this song so many times its just always instant happy energy, the synthesizer intro and solo are just fenomenal, this man is an absolute legend for me. Great singer, synthesizer and guitar player ! For me its the best Sweet song, and with Tiger feet the best songs of the 70's .

    Been a fan since the beginning. Could talk about Sweet for hours. Today it's a known fact that they were extremly underrated. One thing though, Brian Connolys voice. In my opinion he never got the recognition he deserved. Still there are not many singers out there who freely can go between head, chest voice as he did. Just an outstanding lead singer and an fantastic voice.

    This song is as great now as it was in the seventies!!. The Sweet influenced countless bands. So many bands remade their songs.

      It's just sad that Steve passed the other day. It's killer how he sings "Foxy on the run." It's got a hint of a metal edge we'd later hear in the early 80s. And for the record, Andy's falsetto is epic. Gives Roger Taylor a run for the money!

    Hello Andy. I just discovered you, it is never too late if happiness is good. The truth is that I'm listening to you with the song Love is like oxygen when I was about 15 years old, now I'm 57, but I didn't know what this Sweet song was, so I looked on RUclips for this song and from here I can't go without listening your songs, a shame from Brian and Mick, take good care of yourself and Steve, a hug and I hope you read this to me, greetings from Punta Umbría-Huelva-Andalusia-Spain

    Loving this 'Songs of the month' series with your stories behind the hits Andy. The details you're providing are amazing & show how much real effort you guys put in to create these legendary songs that we're still listening to all these years later. It's a real pity that Brian & Mick aren't around to see how popular you still are.
    Thanks for the great memories & all the best for the future.

    The cool thing is, the song is so well written that as much as the synth seems like the integral foundation of the song, the versions without it are incredibly strong in their own right. Not just the original Sweet UK studio version, but Ace Frehley's 2009 cover is all guitar driven, and it works so well!
