  • Can this song be bought anywhere?

  • Short lived But a great band great post thanks

  • Heard this song in early 80's driving to Corpus Christi, man it brings back memories. Very Awesome.

  • I still have my PRS sweatshirt! Great band and great guys!

  • We had a local band called Sticky Mess n our little country town who used to cover this song n man it good.

  • Simply, this is how it is done!

  • I used to go to this bar in Bangkok and give the DJ 20 baht to play this song, that was back in 1992. Everytime I hear this song I relive those great memories. This is music, not that crap we hear these days.

  • Thank god Obama wasnt included in those images

  • The greatest rock-n-roll song ever written and performed! I wish the idiots at emi would re-issue the Phantom, Rocker and Slick albums on CD form....

  • Wow, thanks for posting! I must say-- a great bunch of photos. Somehing tells me you put your pic among them. I bet you have remembered over 50 more men you could've included. Any thoughts on re-composing this and posting a longer version? (I'm thinking Elvis, Clint Eastwood, Bill Clinton and yes--even Michael Jackson!) This band was made up of 2 former Stray Cats "Slim Jim" Phantom, and Lee Rocker, added to Guitarist Earl Slick. Great album, even for today.

  • Cool song. Long version too!

  • Rocks!

  • Missing people here, since you repeated. Kiss' Paul Stanley has shame?! Gene doesn't? Also, Eddie Murphy, both George Bush's who were president, and Kanye West...REALLY has NO SHAME!

  • Can anyone tell me where I can buy the exact version of this song? I cannot seem to find it anywhere online....

  • @mdlovesart I was only able to find it on a 45 years ago.

  • @MoDans Same as on the LP far as I'm aware

  • @mdlovesart It's on the self titled album, has all three guys on the cover

  • @mdlovesart Hi...You can go to amazon.com and type in phantom, rocker and slick and it will bring up cd's that you can buy. A great place to find hard to find artists. Hope this helps!!!

  • for years ive had a 50 second clip of this song and been trying to get the artist name so thanks to some iphone app i played it and bamm i get the artist , name of song, and album tital its a great life in deed

  • A smokin kick ass tune

  • My hat's off to you man, you picked a great bunch of pics for this vid! I smiled through the whole vid and got a good laugh. Thanks again.

  • who is that couple at 2:27

  • @u2joshuadesireu (The Killer) Jerry Lee Lewis and his 14 year old second cousin / wife.

  • @u2joshuadesireu That is Jerry Lee Lewis and his 14 year old cousin...that he married.

  • How the hell does this happen? One of the best albums of the decade and it never gets put to CD! This is an outrage! Contact your local congressman! This album was a masterpiece. If you find this album in a used record store, do yourself a favor and buy it. You wont be sorry.

  • listening to this song again. YEP!!!!! definitely far more stray cats than bowie. you can almost hear brian seltzer in the background

  • you can definitely tell the stray cats guitar licks. wasnt it slim jim phantom on the drums and the former guitarist for david bowie. whatever, the guitar and drums are truly legend

  • Axel Rose does not belong in this video...

  • I've always loved this song. Glad to have found it again. The guitar "chug" that kicks in at 1:30 makes and carries this song. Smash mouth blues, f-ing love it.

  • the guitar chug marks the guitar style that became a trademark of the stray cats. it was actually the drummer slim jim phantom who was formerly of the stray cats but the influences in the guitar is far more stray cats than bowie

  • I made a CD from the album is anyone is interested

  • Oh Yeh! I'd love a copy of the CD

  • Yes please!

  • Send me a message with you email. For some reason I can't get the ZIP file to attach. Maybe it's too big, maybe I'll have to do a few songs at a time

  • im definitely interested

  • Send me your email address

  • Incredible fantastic song!! This makes me remember great saturday nights on the Rock Club of my town: 2001

  • I like this song, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

  • @DiAnno13 whats to be ashamed of. its got killer guitar wrok that went seriously underrecognized

  • Killer Tune! Great Vid! Loved The Pic Of The FONZ "I'd Hit It! HA HA!

  • THIS  SONG ROCKS

  • I have this whole album on a cassette, I made a digital copy to MiniDisc, thanks SONY! I think I'll upload some of it. The volume is LOW however, but I hope to recapture to MD a better master

  • Bad motherfucker!

  • fucking awesome song and would love to get a copy of it. Lucky I remembered the main song line or I wouldn't have found this. Thx so much for posting this Fucking classic

  • Streams of YT are captured RIGHT on your HDD, just need to drag them to a folder from the IE cache

  • "What you want" is my favorite

  • My Mistake :)

  • I've been covering this song since it's release and it still lays ppl out . You wannabe pukes fuck off and get a life...

    The rest of you...enjoy. This is great stuff when great stuff was rare!

  • Wannabe pukes?? This band even made King Biscuit Flower Hour! I have only an excerpt of Green River, CCR cover

  • Come on, let's not turn this into another flame war page on YouTube. Isn't there enough? Let's just enjoy a killer song!

  • Great find in way of a song, you even have the long version. Showing a bunch of hollwoood actors and corp. rockers as being men without shame was a real reach

  • How did you get a digital copy of this song? I must know!!

  • Capture analog to digital, that's how! haha

  • I have both lps and the single released by them great stuff

  • Can't you just listen to that lead guitar forever? Earl Slick serves up so many tasty licks.

  • earl slick ,great in his day ...this was later in his sagging career...hooked up with slim jim phantom and lee rocker for 2 lps in the 80's the first of which this song is from ...and i believe the only single release

  • well, I would start by getting the original record where this song comes from: PHANTOM, ROCKER and SLICK. Do some research over the internet and ebay.

  • I love how the first picture is Hank III. He's a goddamn badass!

  • 638Smith, two of the three guys in the band are from the Stray Cats, so you might like their stuff too. And thanks for posting this. Fantastic song.

  • Hey, would anyone be so kind to recommend other stuff like this tune? The only thing I can think of is the Georgia Satellites. I want something edgier, however. Nothing angry, just a bit edgie--with a beat and southern sound similar to this.

  • Jason & The Scorchers, ZZ Top, Cruzados, Del Fuegos, London Quireboys, Social Distortion, Dan Baird & Homemade Sin, Drive By Truckers

  • Eric Sardinas, George Thorogood, Stray Cats when they REALLY chose to rock out, Dash Rip Rock, Jerry Reed, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hank III & the Damn Band, Reverend Horton Heat.

  • lol it doesnt sound southern at all

  • YouTube Stevie Ray Vaughn. I think that will be all you need. If you want something else, try Adrian Vandenberg or to a lesser degree Charlie Sexton

  • great tune

  • HELL YEA, I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

    Cool video also!

    Thanks for posting this song in it's original form unlike the half-assed cheesy post from backporchvideos which had 2 faggety goof-balls with jacked up hair yapping at the beginning!

    Now, what can we do to get them to re-release this awesome album!?

  • Way cool-a couple of months ago I tried in vain to find an audio clip of this song...couldn't find shidoda!! I used to jam this song back in the day-love the guitar work cool beat too...

  • Love this song I had the album when it came out in the 80s. You had a lot of fun making a clip.

  • Wow this is great, well done! ellie

  • very good! I never heard the song but i like it!

  • hmmm, yes, I have never heard this song before - I like it.

    I look forward to future posts. thanks
