"Bloody Well Right"
Right! Get sophisticated with Supertramp's cool and cynical 1974 rock classic, "Bloody Well Right"! Kicking off with an iconic Wurlitzer electric piano riff, this standout track from Crime of the Century blends progressive rock complexity with jazzy flair and sharp commentary.
Featured on their breakthrough 1974 album Crime of the Century and later released as a successful single, "Bloody Well Right" showcased Supertramp's unique musical identity. Its distinctive intro, dynamic rock build-up featuring saxophone, and Rick Davies' pointed lyrics resonated strongly with listeners.
This classic 1974 rock track is instantly recognizable for its Wurlitzer opening and sophisticated arrangement. Critiquing societal expectations and class differences with sharp wit, "Bloody Well Right" remains an essential part of Supertramp's catalog and a fan favorite progressive rock gem.
SONG MEANING: The song offers a cynical commentary on societal hierarchies and class differences.
