Cash Box called it a "dance track with powerful teen attraction" and "polished vocals."

The Beatles - we can work it out live, 1965

"The song is an example of Lennon-McCartney collaboration at a depth that happened only rarely after they wrote the hit singles of 1963. This song, "A Day in the Life", "Baby, You're a Rich Man" and "I've Got a Feeling", are among the notable exceptions."

David Bowie - velvet goldmine, 1975

"Musically, "Velvet Goldmine" is a glam rock number that contains a bouncy piano part and backing vocals similar to Hunky Dory (1971), while also anticipating the cabaret feel Bowie soon experimented with on Aladdin Sane. Author Peter Doggett described it as a combination of Gene Vincent's 1950s rock'n'roll and the "electric thrust" of Marc Bolan."

Belle And Sebastian - take your carriage clock and shove it, 2005

"Isobel Campbell certainly seems to think that this song was written about her. Interesting that it is followed by 'I'm waking up to us' on the Barman compilation album, which is even harsher. Her 'Monologue for an old true love' on her solo record, Amorino, could be taken as a response."

The Radio Dept - the worst taste in music flow flux clan remix, 2006

"The title track may open with a computerised rattle, but that disappears in a gush of autumnal colour, muted enough to strip the lyrics of all bite. By the time you reach the helplessly gauche The Worst Taste in Music and the anaemic opening line of Tell ("Betrayal is always sad"), the desire to drench the Radio Dept in cold water becomes overwhelming. And yet, in the right mood, there is something shy and lovely about Pet Grief, ghosts of the C86 sound that make you want to grab a cardigan and sway."

The Beatles - help, 1965

"The whole Beatles thing was just beyond comprehension. I was subconsciously crying out for help".

Simon And Garfunkel - flowers never bend with the rainfall, 1966

"his mirror on the wall threw back an image dark and small, which to some degree depressed him."

Saturday Looks Good to Me - untitled all your summer songs, 2003

"Scuffed-up transistor radio with a blown speaker beaming time-travelled frequencies from 1957-1967. What The Beach Boys might have sounded like if they recorded in an underwater cove. A warped vinyl copy of your favorite pop record played on one of those tan Fisher Price record players we all owned as kids."

The Flaming Lips - yoshimi battles the pink robots part one, 2003

"The lyrics of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots concern a diverse array of subject matter, mostly melancholy ponderings about love, mortality, artificial emotion, pacifism, and deception, while telling the story of Yoshimi's battle. The title character is inspired by Boredoms/OOIOO member Yoshimi P-We, following a comment in the Flaming Lips studio that her machine-sound abstract singing sounds like she is battling monsters—Coyne added 'pink'. P-We also performs on the album. Some listeners consider Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots to be a concept album; however, the story is debated, as it is only directly apparent in the first four tracks. Despite the story-type title and science fiction themes, Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne has made it clear that Yoshimi is not intended to be a concept album."

Saint Etienne - four thirty-five in the morning kid loco remix, 2009

"Sub Pop released Saint Etienne's 1998 album Good Humor in a limited version that included a bonus disc of extras. Entitled Fairfax High, the 40-minute disc of B-sides and assorted extras enabled the trio to ransack their sock drawer yet again. Most of these stray tracks come from the Sylvie and Bad Photographer singles. Like their other collections of studio fallout, this disc offers a few hidden gems and a clutch of decent-but-not-so-hot moments. Opening with the instrumental Mike Post homage, "Hill Street Connection" (originally named "Andrew McCarthy" after the Less Than Zero star) and ending with the easy listening instrumental "Cat Nap," it feels like more of a decent album than a hodgepodge, if slightly uneven."
