This song is a musical benchmark- this is the first unlistenable Collins style right wing pop song by Genesis. Bask in it's mediocrity.
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

Great melody, superb middle piece, harmonies are good, nice musical inventions, lively, some parts are quite humorous... I voted yes, as you can tell.
 
Actually, all the songs on A Trick Of The Tail have a lot of quality in them.

Without a doubt, it's a good song, but then 'A Trick Of The Tail' is my second favourite Genesis album, after 'The Lamb'.
Superb album, without any weak songs on it. Smile

Not a bad song; I do especially like the middle instrumental section. In retrospect I think we can see Collins' goofy side start coming out, epitomized in songs like 'Who Dunnit?'.

The song sounds trivial at the start but really launches into one of Genesis' best musical moments. I love that album!!!

Great song!!! As many have mentioned, the section in 13/8 is typical Genesis and definitely what makes them one of my favorite's. The Seconds Out version is also great, Chester makes the first section (under the vocals) so interesting with his use of "ghost strokes"!!!
 
And lastly, the outro section capps it all off. Maybe not one of their best but it "is" among the better from the post PG era......IMHO!
