The singing, and thee excent, ees nothing to write home about,
but that heavy bass and clear, high guitar vibe is pretty much exactly what I've been fruitlessly searching for ever since Paul Simon's Graceland.
Or, it may be a blatant ripoff of Graceland.
In any case, it sounds great!

Alright, everyone under (or who thinks they're under) the age of, say, 12, get up and dance. Gimme me the thing dat da doctor order me. Beano, a new heart, more sex, take your pick.

If I rated songs on their "fun factor," this would rate 8 from me.

I am truly surprised at the low rating and negative comments on this song. It's fun and the musicianship is great. I thought 'rp' listeners had more open minds. Of course I AM hearing it for the first time on my third Saturday night beer so....

Bill, you ought to pair this one with Harry Manx' "Bring That Thing."

Just a goofy name like "El Rayo-X" makes me smile. Lindley's a blast.

I'm all about fun these days - mostly because I'm not having much of it. I really wanted to dance to this song, but the back will barely let me WALK, much less dance. I fear I may need - GASP! - a trip to a chiropractor. Please send donations, as I can barely afford to put gas in my vehicle to get me to and from work.

Oh, what the heck - I'll break-dance anyway. This is just too good a song to NOT dance to, even if dancing means a trip to the ER...

Either he's gone blind, or he's a member of the House of Representatives from New York! {#Lol}

(Love the song, BTW. Just good, dumb, goofy fun.)

I love David Lindley - very eclectic and talented. He's not afraid to take chances with the music, like Lindsey Buckingham. And anyway, if Jackson Browne thinks he's worth employing, who am I to argue? {#Bananasplit} {#Guitarist}
