10cc - Feel the Love - Scripture Version

’Feel The Love’ is like a complete mis-reading of everything 10cc always stood for: the comedy vocals, the silly chorus (’Oomachasooma’, as in the name of a cupid figure the narrator pleads to for love), the warm lyrics about love and the ’Dreadlock Holiday’ reggae backing ought to add up to the catchiest 10cc-hit-by-numbers in years. Instead it’s a gloriously sly, sarcastic song where Eric jumps into love knowing full well the odds of finding a compatible partner are a ’million to one’ and he’s going to get burned - but he can’t stop himself and ’ignore this feeling’. Nothing matters more than the one you love - it’s the working out who you love that’s the heartbreaker.
