Still amazed this song is only four sentences long (plus the chorus of "Holiday Ro-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oad"). But I dig it too!

First time hearing.

Only Gerry songs I know are "Baker Street" and "Right Down the Line" and only Nazareth I know are "Hair Of The Dog" and "Love Hurts". But I'm sure there's no big surprises there.
 
Continuing with the ****

Hot Legs - Rod Stewart



Huckleberry - Toby Keith



Hungry Heart - Bruce Springsteen



I Believe I Can Fly - R. Kelly
My new daughter sang this at our wedding.



I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash

This comment made me think of seeing KISS live in 1990 on the "Hot In The Shade" tour.

They were fresh off their biggest hit in a decade - the power ballad "Forever" - & Paul Stanley had a little stage rap he'd do about its success every night. I'm paraphrasing, but it basically went like this :

"THIS NEXT SONG WAS A BIG HIT - BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE RADIO DOESN'T WANNA PLAY KISS, BUT YOU'D CALL 'EM UP & MAKE 'EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'D TELL 'EM I'M FUCKIN' SICK OF HEARING MILLI VANILLI!!!!!!"

( cue several thousand people screaming some variation on "YEAH - FUCK MILLI VANILLI!!!!!!!!!!!" )

"YOU'D CALL IN & SAY MR. DJ...I DON'T WANNA HEAR ANY MORE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

( cue several thousand people screaming some variation on "YEAH - FUCK NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" )

"YOU'D TELL THOSE RADIO PEOPLE PLAY SOMETHING OTHER THAN JANET JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

( crickets...cue several thousand people looking around, saying some variation on "I dunno...she's all right. I got no beef with her." )

I believe in the business this is known as "going to the well one too many times".

And now KISS has a reputation for using prerecorded vocals and backing tracks.

Funny how that worked out.
