  1. Writing the original lyrics must have taken ages! I remember that from the days of long ago as I worked in the brewery at Roseburn. 1969 ish time.

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! Yeah, there isn't much to the lyrics, but this is still a great song--especially when one has a good buzz going!

  3. Whoa, I stop by almost every day with EC but don't think I ever commented before :) I have to that was a great post. I loved listening to the songs - both of them...and wow. Writing the lyrics must have taken ages!

  4. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Tracy!!! Well, I actually took around an hour and a half after coping off the lyrics from Oldie Lyrics, which is linked to at the bottom. For I always re-type what I have copied off of a lyrics site because sometimes something weird will happen when I try to just post what was copied, and then I try to edit the lyrics that I have copied while listening to the song, which is where I ran into Mr. Idol free-stylin' for the audience in the video. Anyway, Billy did a really good job with the song, but I actually prefer Tommy James original version better.

  8. This was a tough one. It was close but Tommy James wins out. Sorry Billy Idol :)

  9. I prefer the original but I must confess to being a fan of Idols first band generation x.

  10. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Janet!!! I hope things are going better for you now.

  13. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Hey, I seem to recall Adam Sandler saying the same thing to him.

  14. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ryan!!! Oh yeah, I truly love White Wedding and Rebel Yell. That is, as long as I can just hear the songs and not see him and his group performing them. For I am too much of a fuddy-duddy to appreciate their punk persona(s) as much as others do.
