Peter Frampton's 'Do You Feel Like We Do' Live Performance Goes Viral After Being Mistaken for 'Austin Powers' Dad Rock Gold
In an ironic twist that has Gen Z scratching their heads and Boomers nodding along, a 1973 live cut of Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do" has inexplicably become the soundtrack to a TikTok trend where users are incorrectly captioning it as "That song my dad plays when he's having his midlife crisis." The talk box solo—originally a groundbreaking guitar effect—is now being reimagined as the official anthem of suburban dads everywhere, with commenters debating whether Frampton is the "coolest uncle who still wears a fanny pack" or the "accidental architect of the Austin Powers aesthetic." The irony? Frampton's actual '70s persona—long hair, gold jumpsuit, and a guitar that talks—was already peak "groovy spy villain" energy, proving that time is a flat circle of hair-metal nostalgia.
