Such an underated band, I always loved their music in the charts and their albums too when I was growing up. The lyrics would have me crying one minute and laughing the next. How Dare You” is definitely worth a listen.

Thank you so much for doing this song! 10cc is in a class by themselves. My favorite album happens to be 'How Dare You'. The big hits off that were 'Don't Hang Up' and 'Art for Art's Sake'. Yes, there IS so much going on... here. You should hear this a number of times before you really 'get' it. I doubt if there is enough time in your busy day to revisit these excellent songs that you play. After they split up, something calling itself 10cc released quite a few more records, and some of it was quite good. For this epic song, they were firing on all cylinders. It really is like nothing else out there. In my opinion, even Queen seems pale next to them. Thanks again for letting people know about 10cc, and the other classic music you are uncovering.

Yes Edward unfortunately there isn't enough time in a day to spend weeks on songs and albums and that is unfortunate for us for sure. That said there is time on occasion to revisit some things and this will be one of them for me. Thanks!

Agree about 'How dare you' album - being a brilliant album. But 'Sheet Music' is their best for me. I was fortunate enough to see the band play ''The Original.Soundtrack' live in Portsmouth, England when I was a student.

They were the masters in the studio and cud rock they were on Knebworth bill with rolling stones 1978 Magnificent

This is one of my favourite tracks from 10cc, so quirky. The "piano pounding" section late in part 2 (which inspired the famous Phantom of the Opera theme) is probably the bit I replay most. I'd definitely recommend giving their arty "Somewhere In Hollywood" a whirl from their album "Sheet Music" for a similar story telling song.

What a sheer delight! After a few plays, this song gets better and better and seems cleverer and cleverer :) Extremely talented English 1970's Band. They had 2 distinct writing teams in the 4 members and, yes, sometimes there was artistic tension which eventually made them split with Godley/Creme specializing in Music Videos like CRY........a good song and amazing video where endless faces individually replace each other. A very clever technique so a White Guy becomes Black becomes old becomes a Woman etc. Like The Beatles, nearly every song is different from each other. ONE Night In Paris :) Great Reaction!

Good point!

We'll have to do 'Sheet Music' which came out the year before and is really the predecessor to Une Nuit a Paris and I'm Not in Love as there's much experimentation and killer songs on it. I remember when i first bought this album, put the needle on the first track and was blown away. Love 10cc and it's too bad we only got 4 years of them all together. They were masters in the studio and it really helped that they had their own studio, Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking (named after Strawberry Fields Forever), with most of their records engineered by Eric Stewart. Thx again guys, great job!

Yup, I'm with Josh. This is how you do a long song. 10cc at their best are awesome musically and this is one of their best but I also love that they're eccentric and seem to have a real sense of humour about it that separates them from the more pretentious art and prog rock out there. Plus, they really know how to do killer short pop songs (have you guys heard the Dean and I?) as well as these more extended art-rock compositions.

I originally recorded it to a blank cassette - without even listening to it beforehand! Always much valued it, and since got the LP. I agree with comments re: Sheet Music, How Dare You, and Deceptive Bends. All great albums. Their '100cc Greatest Hits', following 'Sheet Music' was excellent too - with some then new excellent tracks on side 2.

Thanks for doing this! Awesome song! I'd recommend Deceptive Bends for a taste of good stuff they could do after the split. Would also recommend e.g. This Sporting Life for a real bite of what the departed Godley & Creme could put out - really mindblowing stuff!

Totally 9.5 for me! This is what that Traffic tune lacked. There were so many shifts and surprises that you wouldn’t think it was a longer track. I’m glad that there’s a 10cc album coming up in the book of 1001 albums. Ps, not knocking Traffic. I listened to a great album of theirs from the book and saved it in my library on Spotify.

I never heard this song from 10cc. Wow, this sounds like an epic. It is interesting that this song was before the famous Queen song. This song sounds like it could have been used as move scene music. There is a lot of instrumentation. Shawn and Trey, you both analyzed this really well considering it is a hard song to figure out. You both gave this a rating pf 7.5. I would have to rate it a 7.0, but only because it was weird and different. You guys had fun on this video and I had fun watching. Cool stuff.

This was what one would call a rock operetta, i.e. music to a scene. I would recommend giving their song "Somewhere in Hollywood" a go, that one might be a bit easier to digest.Likewise with "Don't Hang Up", a very interesting take on a marriage breakup, then try "I Wanna rule the world" just to give you an idea of how zany they could get.
