Three rock songs no one else around here knew of!
I tried to find (via the local record stores) three rock tunes, that *NONE* of them even heard of!

(Of course, most of the people I talked to were near-brain-dead teenagers...) :eyes:

But I found them via the Internet.

Billy Joel-Stiletto

Irish Rovers-Wasn't That A Party
(Yes, same group that made that unicorn song)

Ringo Starr-Good Night Vienna

And the RIAA is wondering why us "We don't want the latest Britney Spears shit!" rock music fans are going to the Internet and not to the record stores? :grr:

1. Hey, I know at least one of those.
"Stiletto" is a highly underrated Billy Joel track. I'm familiar with the Irish Rovers, and Ringo, of course. I know a lot of solo Ringo stuff, but not that tune.

2. I like Stiletto a lot.
Shows how good Billy Joel is with the piano big time.

As to the Irish Rovers one, it is a HUGE laugh, here's the chorus:

Could of been the whiskey
Might of been the gin
Could of been the 3 or 4 six-packs I don't know
Just look at the shape I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm gonna die
Tell me me oh me oh my
Wasn't that a party.

:D

The Ringo one was made by him during the time he was drinking and doing dope heavily, and it can be noticed, but it's a good song.

3. Stiletto...
I dig the deep cuts from his albums. Zanzibar and Until The Night and.. well, the list goes on.
