Cheap Thrills

Album: Cruising With Ruben and The Jets
The opening song on Frank's Doo-Wop album, this song is about as simple of a song you'll ever hear. The intro contains some great vocal harmonies. There aren't any real changes once it starts up. It just looks straight ahead the whole time, with no sign of slowing. The piano part consists of eighth notes the whole way through. The drums are fairly straight forward, although I find the kick to have a nice groove to it. The acoustic bass part is great, providing a nice balance to the simplicity of everything else. This song does a perfect job of creating a simple rhythm with very catchy lyrics. If it weren't for some of the lyrics, it would be easy to pass this off as one of those chart-toppers from the 50's by some forgotten band. "Cheap thrills, all over the seat. Cheap thrills, you're kind of loving can't be beat."
