    Also anyone into Mr Mister should check out Levara, who sound like they’ve been teleported in from 1986. The Guitarist is Trev (yes) Lukather.

    I wouldnt say it was bad but simply way,way too long,particularly on the 7 minute and 12 minute versions et al. Anything over 4 minutes and I'm going to the next song/to the toilet/and doing something else.

    However, this thread’s gone a bit awry: I thought it was about songs with unexpected “wtf was that?!!” moments, e.g. Michael Sembello’s ‘Maniac’ (which must already have been mentioned).

    The solo on senza una Donna by Zucchero and Paul Young is a surprisingly Holdsworthesque diversion in humdrum euro pop fodder

    IMO, genuinely one of the greatest solos ever recorded in this pop context. Or any context, really.

    And what a song.
