The impeccable third album from Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan "I'm a Writer, Not a Fighter" was released in September 1973. The album contains hits such as "Get Down", "Why Oh Why Oh Why", "A Friend Of Mine" and "Ooh Baby".
Lyrics:
Told you once before
And I won't tell you no more
Get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog, baby
But I still want you around
You give me the creeps
When you jump on your feet
So get down, get down, get down
Keep your hands to yourself
I'm strictly out of bounds
Once upon a time, I drank a little wine
Was as happy as could be, happy as could be
Now I'm just like a cat on a hot tin roof
Baby, what do you think you're doing to me
Told you once before
And I won't tell you no more
So get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog, baby
But I still want you around, around
I still want you around
Hey hey hey
I don't give a damn
And I'd like you, if you can
To get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog, baby
But I still want you around
Once upon a time, I drank a little wine
Was as happy as could be, happy as could be
Now I'm just like a cat on a hot tin roof
Baby, what do you think you're doing to me
Told you once before
And I won't tell you no more
So get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog, baby
But I still want you around, around
I still want you around, mmm
It’s 50 years since Gilbert O’Sullivan found himself at the top of the Billboard chart with Alone Again Naturally. Neil Diamond said he wished he had written it and swiftly featured it in his live set, as have several more singers over the years, from Nina Simone to Pet Shop Boys and Elton John. Paul Weller, Squeeze and The Lemon Twigs - proudly count themselves as Gilbert fans. Other notable admirers include Tim Burgess and the late John Peel, who wrote, “if we've got to live by the charts alone, then let's have Gilbert O'Sullivan in them".
Gilbert explains his part on Love Casualty as “something akin to “a Keith Richards riff”- although other ears might hear something closer to JJ Cale in the interplay between O’Sullivan and Pat Murdoch’s supple guitar ornamentations. As with so many Gilbert O’Sullivan songs, stretching back to his very first hit Nothing Rhymed, it’s a gentle call to humanity that favours plaintive persuasion over preachiness - and on Driven, it’s by no means alone in doing that.

A great, upbeat tune! It was played often in the 70’s when I was a little kid. I never hear it anymore on classic stations. So I’ll just have to keep playing it myself!
