Extreme - Get the Funk Out

Not bad, for a Michigan White Boy. Van Halen 3 and More Than Words jokes aside, Extreme actually had a tendency to kick ass from time to time, and funk rock is an underrated genre.

What is it with metal videos and dancing little people?

Wake Up Song: Duran Duran - A View To A Kill

Some days I hate my brain more than others.

Wake Up Song: The Fixx - Saved by Zero

Blame Roach for this one, we were discussing the awful Toyota ads from this fall and I idly wondered if this Fixx song by the same title was its inspiration. It's not their fault that this turned into the most irritating ad campaign of the football season!

Wake-up Song: Ratt - Lay it Down

Seems like every morning I wake up with a song in my head and I have no idea why. It's like acknowledging the bad dream you had last night. As screwed up as was, it's all yours and you have to deal with it.

As far as the song goes, I freely acknowledge that I grew up loving hair metal. As ridiculous as most of it is, there are still a couple of bands who could put a good riff together and Ratt was one of them. These guys cracked me up. They all hated each others' guts, but they were a lot better than most of their peers. Enjoy.
