Sweet Revenge will never have the chance to avenge itself. Ironic.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I know it's probably very bougie of me, but I can't get past those two A-sides.* Rabies is a bunch of fun, but Letsagetabitarockin' and Keys To Your Heart are really, really great classic rock numbers that could slot in fine on any pre-Beatles comp. If Joe never went on to form the clash, these would be legendary Nuggets cuts or something.

*I recognize Letsa... wasn't released as a single until 2005, still.

Man, this board.

Rabies is ten times better than Letsagetabitrockin'
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
