possibly the most turgid plodding tedious song yet emitted by our Gordon there, and I now can only imagine it was composed and recorded and then released onto an unwitting public purely because it would align with some ideal of popular nodding in agreement and therefore make a lot of record sales. Maybe I should do something like this, it certainly saves a lot of money in instrumentation and not having to hire a drummer.

Personally I think Boney M encapsulated it far better in one outro line when they said ‘oh those Russians’, plus they’re more fun to listen to.
