Performance tip

Mark the first word of each verse before singing; clean entrances will matter more than adding extra runs.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

This works well as a men's pick in a mixed-age room that responds to familiar oldies. Expect mostly manageable phrasing with a few exposed lines, while the groove and repeated phrases create natural crowd response.
