No pa, it's my song. I'll do it.

Remember, VOTE FOR THE SONG YOU LIKE LEAST. Don't let the binary choice throw you off.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

People really think Keys is a better track? It's so hokey.

Both are hokey. It's a feature not a bug.

As I said, it would fit in as a highlight on a Nuggets type comp. A good pounding garage rocker with a great early Joe vocal.

There's a reason he never totally abandoned it throughout his career. It's great stuff.

Yeah but keys to your heart is such a lame metaphor. It's like a Carpenters song or something.

They weren't as good as the 101ers though.

Good tune naff lyric.

Letsagetabitarockin' is a great lyric with the bit about sheet of lightning on the inside of Joe's brain.
