Aaron's song of the day

John Lennon said about this song "I’d give my eyetooth to have written that."

That’s high praise, I guess. Strange word.

It was a major hit in 1974, written by KC and the Sunshine Band.

Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Please be seated. The eyetooth is either of the two pointed teeth in the upper jaw between the bicuspids and the incisors. They are also known as cuspids (from the Latin cuspis, meaning "point") or canine teeth. It is thought that eyeteeth were so named because they are directl;y beneath the eyes. The expression "I would give my eyetooth for that" is believed to be a variation of "I would give my right eye for that," which is a variation of "I would give my right arm for that." All three expressions are, of course, exaggerations.
 
Would you like to hear one of my classic funny lines? No? Okay, here it is: "I would give my right arm to be a baseball pitcher."
 
My pre-previous singer from my band once said, "This floor is slippery. I'm gonna fall and break my assneck." If eyetooth is a real thing, maybe assneck has an etymology?

...but I really doubt it.
