Stupidly Brilliant & Brilliantly Stupid
The other thing that makes the Manfred Mann version so great is Paul Jones’ lead vocal - despite the song’s inherent goofiness, he plays it completely straight and gives it the full one hundred percent.
Truly!
I mean, to deliver that "I knew we were falling in love" bridge without even the slightest trace of a self-aware wink... that's a PROFESSIONAL.
Let’s not forget Bruce Willis’s performance of the song in Moonlighting.
I once tried calling cadence with the song, and it did not go well. Larval JOs and PHs were confused.
That doesn’t surprise in the least!
