Bizarrely, I only heard this for the first time around three years ago. Was completely stunned. An incredible album! RIP D’Angelo.

Seconded! One of these songs in which Macca can make a (genius) chord sequence as memorable as a great melody. The main hook, here, is the chorus's harmonic progression; I can't think of many other tunes which do this as well.

Once played this for a younger listener and asked who they thought it was.
‘That’s easy, Talking Heads’ they replied. It does have a similar jittery energy about it, while remaining defiantly ‘pop’. One of the oddest and most brilliant 45s of the era. Great vid too.
