>>a riff similar to "Jumpin' Jack Flash."<<

What similar? How about IS Jumping' Jack Flash?
Even my tone-deaf ears can pick that up.

Did ABCKO own that back in 1979?
Seems like Klein would have picked up on that.

I've been saying that for years. How The Kinks didn't get sued is beyond me. They should of called the song, Catch Me Now I'm Jumping. :warhorse :wtf1 :wtf2

The deeper meaning of the song is fascinating and a sign of the times.

Written as a criticism of America's allies, the song depicts the fall of Captain America as a symbol of the United States' dire circumstances at the time. The song features multiple solos on different instruments as well as a riff similar to "Jumpin' Jack Flash."
