It totally robs the song of its swagger. That hypnotic proto-punk chug.
Ba da da BUM ba da BUM ba da da BUM ba da BUM
Over and over throughout the song so you're locked into the groove.

There's a reason this band Iis listed as an influence for so many.
The Bowie one is cool because Bowie but that's it.
