The act of walking on the sun would be riddled with difficulties - quite apart from the temperature and radiation, not to mention the lack of air, the would-be walker would weigh 28 times as much as they did on Earth, but their muscles would still be the same size, so they'd hardly be able to move.

REM's Drive always reminds me of David Essex's Rock On.

Now I know why.
Quote :
The central lyric, "Hey kids, rock n' roll," was borrowed from "Rock On" by David Essex.
Lead singer Michael Stipe explained in the November 12, 2009 issue of Rolling Stone: "There were, before Punk, a few songs that resonated with me. One was David Essex's "Rock On." "Drive" is a homage to that."

I feel I should congratulate myself for spotting the influence.

Am I the only one who thinks these two songs sound like each other?

Actually, there's also a part in the Richard Marx song where I always want to sing Wonderful Tonight, also by Eric Clapton.
