Sign in to disble this ad
I heard this song for the first time in years the other day and was thinking that it would be a great tune for the set list of a cover band. There is something about it that makes me think it would really get a postive reaction from a crowd
So I'm curious if anyone out there actually plays it and if the crowd goes nuts? |

I like it because the bass line is stupid simple and has easy variations, so I just check out and watch the booties shake. |

It's fun to play too if you've got a slammin solid drummer behind you. Just bathe in the groove and enjoy the view. |
