I fucking love this song. It is one of my favorites on Dirty, along with Wish Fulfilment and Chapel Hill.
I love how Kim sings this, and the guitars do something to my frontal cortex. I never jknew they played it live. I would love to hear it.

Goo just has that whole album, cohesive time vibe. A vibrating stream.

I could blast GOO all day and night.

i've been listening to Dirty a lot lately. when it came out, it was pretty much my favorite record of any band at that time. it's fallen in my estimation due to the simple fact of my listening to more music (and aging 15 years), but what was great about it then remains so. also, the best deluxe edition of the three, and who would have thought that?

bar "creme brulee"--merely serviceable--kim's songs are stupendously filthy. she goes from come hither sensuality ("on the strip") to pulverizing punk goddesshead ("orange rolls, angels spit"). although you could make the case she kinda does both on the latter song.

Go, GOO power.

Its the best Kim album in all, everything its about is very in tune with what constitutes the Kim quarter of SY, and On the Strip is the best song on Dirty alongside 100%

can't disagree with that!

Shoot kicks all manner of ass.

Yeah, 'On The Strip' is one of the two or three best numbers on Dirty. I'm glad someone is finally speaking out about this--I thought I was the only one who felt this way. 'Swimsuit Issue' and 'Theresa's Sound-World' would be the other two stand-out tracks for me.

Everyneurotic 12.22.2007 07:57 PM

another great song from one of my three favorite sy albums.

ZEROpumpkins 12.23.2007 07:58 PM

Dirty is ok. Wish Fulfillment is my favourite song on there. On The Strip is a good song too.

I've just stumbled on what JC was about (don't know if that was already dealt with on the board):

I wonder whose hands the video recording of On the Strip is in

schizophrenicroom 01.02.2008 08:57 PM

always thought the last four or five songs on dirty are all underappreciated. on the strip is what got me to fully love kim.
