Yup, it's a goody but I had to take it off because I had too many options.

In total agreement with ya Phil!
That piano riff simply cannot be beat.

And yes, they are all great.

I got all these on cd for my birthday a few years ago... There were 4 cd's and they came in a metal lunchbox-- the same kind we old folks took to school in the 70s.

That's the bomb!!!!

Damn, I wish I still had my old lunchboxes. I can remember having a Adam-12 and a Starsky & Hutch one. Maybe I wanted to be a cop?

What he said. It's just got a earthy little groove thing going on. I'm going to try and convince the rest of the band that we need to cover it, give it a really nicely-toned bassline...mmm...

this was mine, Steve... too bad I didn't hold on to it for value purposes. I never even broke the glass in the thermos part either!

Word. I've got the complete dvd, the tribute album, and I've been looking for the book and cd box set. And I wasn't even old enough to remember when they aired for the first time. I just remember the repeats during ABC's Saturday morning cartoons. They'd play them right between Bump In The Night and Fudge.

I'm going with "Bill"; I mean geez, I actually watched/enjoyed the news as a lad--this was gold. Plus in college I had the t-shirt (remember that ironic t-shirt era....awful....*shakes head*)
