Motor Boys Motor done got broke down.

Really hard choices here. Went with "Sweet Revenge" mostly on the fact that "Rabies (From The Dogs of Love" is such an insanely amusing song title.

It's easily the worst of the four.

I went with Rabies because, even though it's a good song, its title makes me sad.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Sweet Revenge sounds like a KISS song with Peter Criss on vocals. It's pretty good.

It is a funny song. It name checks the ‘house on stilts’ which was an annex of St Mary’s Hospital in Praed Street ( the special clinic). Called the House on stilts as it literally was as it had a carpark underneath.

I voted Keys because it's hokey.
