The band drops out midsong and it turns into an acoustic guitar/keyboard duet that starts out soft but gradually gets more intense, until the electric guitar, bass and drums all join in and finish things up. Then the electric guitar fires up the familiar EpicRiff and we go back into the original chorus, then to top things off, they go into a disco rhythm for the fade out.

* RevolvingDoorBand: The band formed with vocalist Brian Connolly, bassist Steve Priest, drummer Mick Tucker, and guitarist Frank Torpey. Torpey was eventually replaced by Mick Stewart, who himself was replaced by Andy Scott. This lineup stayed together from 1970 to Connolly's departure in 1979, and then the band broke up in 1982. Since 1985, Scott and Tucker reformed the band with new members, and they have had multiple new lineups of the band with many lead singers, bassists, keyboardists, and drummers (after Tucker's departure in 1991).

Initially, Chapman and Chinn pursued a bubblegum pop style comparable to [[Franchise/ArchieComics The Archies]] or the Bay City Rollers, but this didn't sit well with the group, whose self-written B-sides and album tracks showcased their HardRock leanings. Eventually, the production team recognised where Sweet's talents lay, and took to composing tough-sounding GlamRock tunes which combined bubblegum melodies with fuzz guitar, thunderous drums and extremely high-pitched vocal harmonies.
