Significant improvement. This is now a 5 star song for me.

In all seriousness, that’s cool. It actually IS better without the yeah yeah yeahs and I love when the RM community messes around with new versions of songs.

Me too. Now I feel dumb for arguing with Spike about the term “middle age” being a misnomer

Agreed.

Now remove Eddie altogether to make this somewhat bearable.

Not so much about his voice, but the dumb vocal melody of the verses and the chorus.

Oh, and the tasteless barking in the outro.

For the record, the bridge is quite appetizing, I'll give them that.

It's not just a "yeah yeah yeah", its placement in the song is clearly deliberate and meant to set the tone for what's coming next.

And it delivers on its promise of an insipid spritzy number.

I have no idea what all that means; is the idea that "yeah yeah yeah" = "spritzy" become so canon that even Pearl Jam and Watt would all be aware of it? nah, it's very simple; Ed in his older age has decided that "yeah yeah yeah" (along with "hee-hee" and other Embarrassing Dad exclamations) is a cool, rocking, energising ad-lib, so he keeps doing it; that's all, and if you like a song to begin with, it's not going to ruin it for you

No way I'm listening to that. The yeah, yeah, yeahs, remind me of The Fixer every time and I smile.

Couldn't care any less about yeah yeah yeahs and their placement in this song, but, I do love me some Battlestar Galactica references, so, thanks for that. :nice:
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Sounds to me like a female.

So I assumed it was either Olivia or Stone.
