I LOVE the intro. It's Paul Crook putting his stamp on the song, an atmospheric build up and much more current than the Bonnie version. Very similar to his reworking of the intro to frying pan live. I also love the campy, almost vaudeville sound to the backing vocals and the "triple AHHH's". I think Meat's voice is pretty good on this and Stacy's voice is incredible. Only negative's are "From the heavens on down to the dives" (which is an amazing line), is kind of wasted and thrown away, and I agree with the OP that the final lines of the song are really weak, surely they could have done another take. Other than that, this is up there with GATW for the best track on the album. 9/10. (Would have been a 10 if Meat resang the last couple of lines).
