SIRS and I are working up some jangle rock

Contrast this with the incredible innuendo that the old bluesmen of the Mississippi Delta and New Orleans used, and then realize that classic rock was frequently an attempt at imitation of that form and you can see how something so cool can become something kitsch depending upon who puts their hands on it.

Supposedly, the name Whitesnake referred to David Coverdale's ummm, appendage. They definitely weren't subtle. And which teenager of the 80's didn't think Here I Go Again was the greatest video ever made?

I give the gold medal to The Who with "Momma's got a squeezebox Daddy never sleeps at night".

I actually thought that was relatively artful, up there with such blues staples as "gotta get my ham bone boiled" etc.

Have you ever heard "Pictures of Lily" by the Who. It gives the Squeezebox treatment to self love.

I never watched videos if I didn't like the song or band. Sure, Tawny was a fine looking specimen, but the gals who liked that kind of music never appealed to me.

Your first problem is that you are calling them gals and not hos.

My mistake. Shame on me, eh?

I just had/have a hard time liking 80s hair bands. Of course, that's probably because I am one of the original "new wavers", which means that I am the mortal enemy of Whitesnake, Motley Crue and Def Leppard fans.

I'm also putting in the (la la la) chords from the Saw Doctors' "I'd Love to Kiss the Bangles" song at the end.

It seems impossible, but the Bangles are actually hotter now than they were in the 80s and sound just as good. Soccer moms have never been sexier.

Give Susanna, Vicki, and Debbi a listen/look (The bass player is a sub):

and here's them playing Walk Like an Egyptian last year:

and if you're a heterosexual male who doubts global warming, I dare you to watch this and then tell me the room isn't hotter. This is PROOF! I've never been too keen on the Bad Company song Susanna is covering, but whoaa...rawr!

If more gals looked and sang like that, chastity would be damned.

How has someone not already suggested adding another verse to the song you are putting together. You have absolutely no chance of getting any love from the high priests on the front row of the talent show unless you add in another verse titled "Walk Like a New Deacon", or something along those lines.

Just trying to help you out.
