Hair of the Dog (2008) by Nazareth ~ Rockband 2 DLC Week 01/26, Expert Guitar/Vocals 100% SR FC

DLC Release 01/26/10 ~ Single

"Hair of the Dog" is a 2008 re-record of the title track of Nazareth's 1975 album Hair of the Dog. It is sometimes called "Son of a Bitch" because of a lyric in the chorus ("Now you're messing with a son of a bitch"). The song was later covered by such bands as Guns N' Roses, on their 1993 album "The Spaghetti Incident?"; Warrant; and Britny Fox. Stonerider covered the song on their 2008 album "Three Legs of Trouble".

The song/album title is often considered to be a shortened form of the phrase describing a folk hangover cure, "the hair of the dog that bit you". However, according to Dan McCafferty, the title is a play on "heir of the dog", ie. a "son of a bitch". This was the title the band had intended for the album, but the label did not approve. The title track is sometimes mistakenly called "Son of a Bitch" because of its chorus ("now you're messin' with a son of a bitch").

The song uses a talk box extensively during its bridge. It should also be noted that the guitar riff in this song is strikingly similar to that of the song "Day Tripper" by the Beatles.

[gordofredito]

really rather the StoneRider version, plus this is an awful re-record

[OverRatedRUs]

I agree entirely. I think this version sounds awful.

This song really should have been called "Son of a Bitch."
