Via Harvard Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I thought this song deserved it's own thread. I think this is one of the best pop songs they have written in sometime. Love it live as well, total toe tapper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bart Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Agreed! I can't believe some people don't like it. Who wants to post the chords? I'd do it myself, but sadly, I'm incapable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 For some reason it reminds me a little of Candyfloss. A much better tune though. Love when it kicks in at the beginning.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A Radio Cure Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 It comes in so loud and good after Capitol City. It gets a lot of comparisons to I'm a Wheel, but I think it's more pop than that. Especially with that organ that reminds me of "96 Tears." I don't consider it a throwaway either...I actually like the lyrics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Every time this comes on in the car, I find myself stomping my foot and playing drums on the dash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Definitely a favorite off the new one - it was great last Saturday night live in Nashville. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwilson580 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I basically like it a lot. I'd ditch the "No standing O O O" line. And change the title of course. I'd get rid of those opening four notes too. The ones that cause everyone to play Name That Tune. Are we doing 70's homages in all our albums now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cam Jones Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I love this song. My only problem is the vocals are hard to make out in the mix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxiebean Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Love this song. When they did this last week in Atlanta I was surprised that Nels played all of the riffs. This song seems perfect for a Nels/Pats guitar duel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimtweedy1977 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I give this song the whole love. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Autumnteeth Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Got caught clapping along along on lakeshore drive today. Can't help it. ClapClap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
augurus Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Reminds me of Monday and Hoodoo Voodoo. But my favorite moment is at the end of the second chorus where Jeff lets out that ferocious bark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwilson580 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Great Tweedy vocals in this song. What's he doing with his voice here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MountainGerbil Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 It comes in so loud and good after Capitol City. It gets a lot of comparisons to I'm a Wheel, but I think it's more pop than that. Especially with that organ that reminds me of "96 Tears." I don't consider it a throwaway either...I actually like the lyrics. Wait...I don't think "Standing O" has an organ part. "I Might" has the "96 Tears"-esque riff. Are you thinking of that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Wait...I don't think "Standing O" has an organ part. "I Might" has the "96 Tears"-esque riff. Are you thinking of that? Listen to it with headphones...nice organ part on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cam Jones Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I love all the shitty organ on this record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MountainGerbil Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Well I'll be dang-gummed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Great Tweedy vocals in this song. What's he doing with his voice here? Singing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Autumnteeth Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Agreed! I can't believe some people don't like it. Who wants to post the chords? I'd do it myself, but sadly, I'm incapable. Forget the chords, even on vinyl I can't tell where to clap. I ride the small bus to Wilco shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Blasted it in the car this morning. Great 60's-sounding organ in there that I can hear through the speakers in the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smokestack Joe Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Wilco performed this live last night in Madison and now i can't stop singing Standing O, O, O....awesome live!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
