Is "Do ya feel lucky, punk?" a Sally by now?

Also, re James Gang: For years I was only familiar with "Walk Away" via its recurrence on MTV's Closet Classics, a video clip from their performance on some (German?) TV show.  Very different, with an extra musical section and some aggression, and so when I finally heard the studio version we just heard here, I was surprised by how anemic it seemed in comparisons.

BRB, gonna go grab a macaroon.

Hrm.  Open to debate.  Sophie B. Hawkins's "Lose Your Way" (which was a failed single) and the Monkees' "What Am I Doin' Hangin' 'Round" (which SHOULD have been a single) have to be in the discussion.  I'm sure I'll think of others.

Apologies to all, but WOS to "Black Dog."  It's just not how I do the rock.

always a BOS to the Mighty Zep's "Black Dog" -- is that a "flaming horde" or a "flaming whore" he's singing about?

And now for something completely different but equally BOS: some aged Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds cheeze.

a VHM for me too, but I have a lyrical nit to pick:  If you got down on your knees, wouldn't you already be begging?

You could be fellating.

ETA: Or munching, or whatever the more delicate term is for woman-downing is.
