Title: "Make Love Not War"...the song
Post by: Eric Aniversario on July 11, 2006, 04:14:30 PM
As far as I know, this has not been circulating among fans and had remained unheard to fans until the Imus performance this month.

It seems like a pretty cool song, and it's good to hear Mike singing in a stronger-voiced way.  It seems to borrow a lot from Robert Palmer's "Addicted To Love"...did anyone else notice that?  It stands pretty well on its own, though.

Good vibes,
Eric

Thanks for the link - - i only heard it the one time in the car, and was hoping to get a chance to hear it again.  My thought upon hearing it - the chorus, anyway, was that it "borrowed" from the song "Footloose!"

Yeah, sounds heavily like "addicted to love".  Catchy song, I like it.  Mike is getting very old.  It makes me sad to hear him sing, he sounds so weak.  He stayed on key most of the song though and towards the middle it approached good, lol.  Band sounded great!

I also hear a little of John Fogerty's "Headlines" in it....

Just imagine... if he'd been born Michael Edward Smith.  ???

Yeah... then he'd sign everything "Smith, Mike Smith" and the song would be "Make Smith, not War".  I don't even think I'd want to hear that crap.

Ironic to see the news ticker, mostly about world events, going across the bottom of the screen as he sings this one. This could be the video of the song.

I had the same thought - the juxtaposition of that ticker against what Mike was singing was almost surreal.
