Useful detail
Performance tip
Keep the first chorus controlled so the final repeat still has somewhere to grow.
Recommendation
Should you sing it?
This works well as a men's pick in a mixed-age room that responds to familiar oldies. Expect sustained control through a demanding chorus, while the chorus gives the room a clear place to join.
