Song of the Moment: Lightning Bolt

[Juvenal]

Has anybody mentioned how much Eddie looks like a Cat in the first bit?

FTFY

I'm loving the little nod to Fixer in this:)

'Yeh yeh yeh'

[Birds in Hell]

This is still a great chorus.

I kind of want to own an Indian restaurant just so that I can name a dish the Lightning Balti.

[Strat]

This is still a great chorus.

"So, this is actually pretty good"

[Strat]

Amazing some of the 180's ive done on some of these songs and how much the album as a whole as grown on me...

Never been like that for any other album....

[Noonie]

Still not sure about this one. I don't dislike it as much as I used to, but... meh.

[harmless]

I spend the whole time waiting for the last verse plus outro, but that's OK. I like the bridge a lot and I'm less embarrassed by the studio version's chorus than the Wrigley one. The version of this they played at Pit was pretty good as well.

This is still a great chorus.

Unexpected post is unexpected.

Out of the 5 pj songs my 6 yr old daughter knows; daughter, elderly woman, nothingman, betterman and lightning bolt, she likes lightning bolt the best/likes to sing along to it the most. She's totally unbiased to previous PJ albums because she learned those 5 songs at the same time. She has good taste in clothing (tells me what looks best) and music too, I think.

So the final verdict is it's a very good to great song?

[Release_Me]

Very good song, for me. Falls just slightly short of being great. I give it 4.5 stars.

[WaitingForBluey]

I'm really surprised by how much I love this song. One of my favorites on the album.

This thing is so infectious. I love this one.
It reminds me of L.A. Woman by the end.

[harmless]

I always think of "Born in the USA" with the keyboard part. It's quite a nice homage, if you like that sort of thing.

[EJ]

I love hearing this right after Sirens ends.

[flannelking]

Even despite the chorus, could this be one of the catchiest/singable pj songs ever? In this department I have it even with "elderly woman" and maybe "betterman". I have it above "wishlist".

Felafel enhances nearly every experience.
