"Saturday Night" in original mix is pop but perhaps not EXTREME POP, though it was ubiquitous pop with its special dance, so the extremity (as with the Eurobosh cover versions), comes when something that is already pop is made more so - faster, buzzier, more immediate - and has its non-pop elements (me being bored with it) stripped out.

"Mouldy Old Dough" - I'll elaborate more on this when Popular reaches 1972 but though the combination of primitive piano-hammering (by an old granny) and the gutteral mumblings of a horrible tramp does not sound particularly pop, it was No.1 for several weeks and certainly sounds like a limit being pushed - a particular kind of British pop jollity (the crowd gathering round the old joanna) turning stompy and aggressive.
