The song is "Long Cool Woman (in a black dress)" by the Hollies. So freaking good. I downloaded it as soon as I figured out what it was. After I downloaded that song, I couldn't stop. Here are some songs we should all listen to;
.Baby Come Back by Player...maybe cheesy, but solidly so.
.A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum - This is an important song to know if you're interested in the business of music. The keyboardist was a studio musician so he was just getting his union pay, but then he fought that one of the standouts of that song was his keyboard part, which he made up on the spot. In the end, the ruling favored him and he got like...at least 33% of the profits. I can't remember if those profits were retroactive, but it's a big deal.
.Sister Golden Hair by America - I love this song. I first heard it when I worked at a camp in New York and at the end of camp we had the olympics. It pitted one half of camp against the other in various activities, but the last activity was the sing competition. Both teams had to take 3 (already made) songs and replace the words to relate to camp. Our goodbye song was to the tune of Sister Golden Hair...and I still think about our team, the White Centurians, to this day whenever I hear that song.
Also listen to the Melvins "Senile Animal" They have 2 drummers and it will blow your mind. Number 3, Civilized Worm, is a stand out for me.
