      As above - in a time before autotune when people had to be talented. These days all you need is high cheek bones - then they wheel in autotune, ten or twelve producers, a dozen or so song writers. Plus Sweet - in line with all the other Bands of this era - could play live. Back then if you couldn't do it live you couldn't do it full stop.

      The first use of auto-tuned vocals was in 1998 on Cher's song "Do You Believe". Auto-tuned vocals heralded the death of good pop music, and re-enforced the MTV standard that what people look like is more important than musical ability. Now, pop music is full of pretty people with no musical talent.

    I had always assumed (going back to the 70s) that those high backing vocals were recorded at low speed and then sped up. It wasn't until I watched a documentary on Sweet on DVD that I discovered that they all had incredibly good strong falsettos that could go way up into the stratosphere.

  • @davidhowell7279

  • @robynmatheson7687

    Suggestion; when looking for classic rock songs, use the LONGEST version. That will be the album version, which I think many of us heard because we were listening to FM radio. Other stations played the radio versions, which were shorter, with key sections cut out. This song will be worth reacting to again as the long version. Has a great instrumental section.

It was right over my bed with Alice Cooper, David Cassidy, Donny Osmond, T. Rex, Heintje (I put him up when I was 11,and never had the heart to put him down when I got older), Ricky Shane, Melanie, David Bowie, The Who, The Jackson Five, Led Zeppelin, Bay City Rollers, and Elvis.

    Many songs make liberal use of metaphor in the lyrics, but rarely is a song title a direct metaphor, which is the case here. Sweet eschews subtlety as they make the case that love, much like oxygen, must be constantly regulated.
    One of Sweet's more serene song titles, this was Sweet's last US, UK and German Top 10 hit, as the group left the glam rock scene for the more plush atmosphere of pop-driven music.
    Sweet guitarist Andy Scott wrote this song and was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for the composition. It lost to "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty.
    In 2002, Andy Scott told the Slovakian Box Network: "We had finished with our first record company and had begun on a project for another. At that time the era of the Sex Pistols had started, and how people thought of music reached new dimensions. No one knew what was coming next. We were already a part rock, part metal band. Therefore in the area which was most touched by the changes. That is when I wrote the song 'Love is Like Oxygen,' and then the idea came along to compose it in a style which at that time was totally new, yet one that suited us. I think it worked out well. Of course the people didn't accept it so easily. I consider Level Headed to be a good album, it sold around the world."

    Sweet, along with Queen, and probably Boston, made great rock music with harmonies. For Sweet and Queen both had three singers in different ranges so you get that three point harmony. Some of Sweet's music is heavy too, they were big into Deep Purple.
    Yet another great UK band from the early '70s, along with T.Rex and Slade (who could also do pop and heavy) who made it big in the UK and elsewhere, but never in the US. The US wasn't ready for glam rock meets hard rock, until KISS.

    The first autotune song was a Cher number in 1998/99
    There was talkbox/vocoder/the bag before then, but that's very different and primitive. "The Bag" was used by Stevie Wonder and Jeff Beck, talkbox by Peter Frampton, Roger Troutman and Richie Sambora but only really as an overt novelty effect, not throughout a record to help charlatans sing in tune. Those old gimmicks involved sticking a tube in your "cakehole" as Jeff Beck used to say, which was linked to a speaker in a bag or box. As you played guitar or keyboard, then the sound would pass up the tube and into your mount so that you can form the notes into words with great difficulty. Cher's use of autotune was also for novelty effect when it was in its infancy - nothing lacking in Cher's abilities.

    No autotune until the late 90's, early 2000's. One trick back then was to slow the tape down a little. Which would lower the pitch and make it easier to hit the notes in key. Then record the vocal track. Then speed it back up to where it was and it would sound like high pitched vocals.

    This is a radio edit version. The full album version has an instrumental section in the middle with acoustic guitar, piano & electric guitar, and also an outro that throws in a little disco influence.

    Darn, that's the short version. you really should hear the longer one sometime, it's truly a work of art. I think others have mentioned some other great hits by them but basically if you go all the way back to the late 60s or early 70s they had a song called Little Willie which was just on the radio all the time and it's a really fun and catchy song it's a great sing along. but then fast forward if you years to I think around 1974 or so and they put out this album desolation Boulevard and every song on it is fire. but the hits off that are primarily Fox On The Run, and Ballroom Blitz. fast forward again for a few years into the late seventies when Disco was popular and the music was starting to evolve closer towards '80s music but still that classic '70s rock and also you have to understand they were kind of a parody of a Glam band they were basically hard rockers but it was popular in the early '70s with David Bowie and others to kind of go in that direction so they would wear glittery stuff and act it out sometimes but you can tell it was mostly just for fun to have fun with the audience. but anyway in the late seventies they put out this song, Love Is Like Oxygen. and once again they had a huge hit because they evolved with the changing music scene and knew how to bring it. those guys are incredible. it would be fantastic to cover some of these other hits and I guarantee you people would tune in.

    Those voices are natural......this is original '70s "Glam Rock"....at least one style of!
    In the full version, there's a whole trippy instrumental segment that's several minutes long.
