Like or Dislike: Leather & Lace

[skcin]

Eh. It's OK. Maybe I've just heard it too many times (although that explanation doesn't fit with Edge for me.)

I don't think that the vocal or the music are that great. The lyrics are pure sentimental cheese, IMO. "Give to me your leather, take from me my lace." Ugh. I'll sing along to it but I never belt it out & get all emotional. I usually don't skip any songs, but I think I've skipped this one a few times.

Positives - I do think Stevie & Don harmonize beautifully on the chorus. And I do LOVE the In Concert version with the girls.

Sorry, I couldn't post a poll again for some reason.

It's ok, I also have heard it to much. It did not age as well as some of the other either.

'Tis okay. Although the lyrics are cheesy, it is well-written. They sound nice harmonizing.

I can agree with that.

Ditto to the above.

I like it. I adore the one with Sharon and Lori. I also love the master of it with Sharon singing. Very cool!

I really like it, while I understand how some may find it overly sweet to the point that its corny, I personally don't think it crosses the line. It's a beautiful song, the harmonies are to die for, and the entire first verse just really does something for me, especially the line "I search only for something I can't see" Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic?

It's a little hokey and I despise Henley. Stevie sounds great on it though.

ok, I just had to come out of lurker status(I am at work-too hard to stay logged in)to post a reply---I just love this song-cheesy or not I have loved it since the first time I heard it!For me, there are never enough times to hear it. I know I am amongst a minority--but "give to me your leather and take from me my lace" does something for me!

Love Leather & Lace! It's a sexy song with beautiful harmony. Bella Donna doesn't have a single song on it that I don't love! Okay, so I have an emotional attachment to anyting that came out when I was in high school.

"You in the moonlight with your sleepy eyes - could you ever love a man like me?" Why yes Don, I think I could.
