Dal 77 all\'82, negli anni del liceo ero DJ in una radio libera.
Siccome alle volte mi perdo in youtube inseguendo vecchi pezzi che mi saltano in mente mi piacerebbe tener traccia di questi vagabondaggi nel passato.
Raccoglierò nel forum le mie playlists e chiunque voglia fare altrettanto o anche solo ascoltare è benvenuto.
L'inno ufficiale del club l'ha scritto Bob Seger

Old time rock & roll
This is one of the few songs Seger recorded that he didn't write. It was written by songwriters George Jackson and Thomas Jones, and although Seger changed a few lyrics, he didn't take any songwriting credit. This means that Seger doesn't own the publishing rights to the song, and Jackson and Jones control when it is used in movies and commercials.
Seger recorded this with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, a famous group of studio musicians who owned their own recording studio in Alabama. Other singers they had worked with include Aretha Franklin, Paul Simon, and Rod Stewart. They gave many songs a feeling of authenticity, which was important to Seger because his last album was very successful and he didn't want to be perceived as selling out to pop radio.
The George Jackson - Muscle Shoals connection is through Malaco Records of Jackson, Mississippi ("America's Last Soul Record Label"). Jackson was a staff songwriter for Malaco, and Malaco often recorded their sessions at Muscle Shoals. He was also a part owner of the studio. (thanks, rick - ottawa, IL)
The lead guitar player on this was not a Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section player. It was Forrest McDonald, a young man just passing through who happened to stop in the studio that day. He is a resident of Georgia and has released several solo albums. His website is www.forrestMcDonald.com. (thanks, Kaylon - Lilburn, GA)
Seger's band hated this, but they warmed up to it when it got a huge reaction the first few times they played it.
This was used in the 1983 movie Risky Business in a famous scene where Tom Cruise danced in his underwear.
This was used in a commercial for Friskies cat food, with the lyrics changed to: "Just take the Friskies off the shelf, your cat can eat them all by himself."
