I love Joan Jett!

My band really should be doing that song

Err... it's "I wish I HAD Jessie's girl"

I like Rick Springfield, always have, even though his audience certainly qualifies more as "hetero-inclined" than Joan's!

He's held up well and it seems the "girls" - most of them mothers with teenage daughters by now - still enjoy themselves judging from this here ...

Maybe not if Joan is singing it.

Huh? If she sang it, she would have to sing it exactly like that. Wouldn't make any sense otherwise would it?

To use one of the more graphic metaphors Dave has fancied to introduce here.

That guitar solo is rather pathetic.

You like this one better? At 1.24.

Or Andy Scott's original? At 1.30, in "I'm the only serious musician here in this teeny bop outfit, I wish I was with Deep Purple"-slide guitar?

The vid is obviously compiled, but it's lovingly done, Scott's sideways gaze during the break at 46 is priceless.

The lyrical change I suggested would work better in Mark's band, I'm sure ;-)

Essshhhhh............Vince sounds like a refugee castoff from Alvin and the Chipmonks.

He's always been an angry little white trash Mickey Mouse.

You really holed the whole issue with that comment.
