@WeCanFlyHigh Allmusic.com was very correct in saying that the demo version from the "My Lives" box set was better than the finished product. The demo is looser and flows more freely. This one is way too tightly structured. It's also cool to hear Billy yelling stuff at his band for the demo.
I was named after this song too!! Only my parents changed the spelling to Kristi... But yeah my parents decided they'd let my brothers help name me, and they (my brothers) absolutely loved this song, so they decided that that's what they wanted my name to be.
Listen to this on the My Lives boxed set. It's the original, outtake version Billy recorded in the studio. It even has him and Liberty DeVitto laughing in the beginning.
the lyrics of this are somewhat ironic considering what his own christie did to him later.

This could so be a Jerry Lee Lewis song, (if Jerry had married Christie Brinkley instead of his 14 year old cousin, that is!)
