Lee Marshall Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I can't think of a song that suggests 'the point' or gets to 'it' quite like 'Hands On You'. Now I know Eric DIDN'T write it...at least not according to the credits...BUT!!! It IS on the album. [starting Over] Can't quite get my head around the concept of a record company sitting back circa 1974 and not even batting an eye as that one slid past along the production line. Certainly there must have been some discussion amongst the 'boys in the band' and also with the 'powers that be' over that little ditty. I think it's a hoot. Simple yet wonderfully delivered. It's subtle-bawdy. Virtually an impossible mix...but accomplished nonetheless.I guess the big question is...How did that one 'go over' at home Eric? Man...you guys are BRAVE.[GREAT tune.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Lee, not only did it "slide past" the record company, but it was the "B" side of "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)". I remember my jaw dropping when I heard that song (having the single a good three months before I got the LP (possibly the best Christmas gift my Dad ever got me) I actually played it so much I had to replace it!

Lee Marshall Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Guess I posted this in the wrong section. Shoulda dropped it in the 'inside story' portion of EC dot calm. Was kind of hoping for a word from Eric on this little 'oddity'. <img border="0" alt="[sleepWakeUp]" title="" src="graemlins/sleepwakeup.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

challer Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 A quick question about this song I have had for years: at about 2'46" into the song, there is a mumbled, spoken line: something like "There are things that are real...". I have no idea what it is.Can someone let me know what is said and who said it?Maybe it's a backwards loop or something.Thanks,Conrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
