This song always makes me think of listening to the Wolfman on XERB, the Mighty 1090, cruising through somewhere / anywhere late at night in SoCal during the 60's.

I suspect that Romeotuna has left the hotel in Las Vegas for a more religious venu.

More of Stan Ridgway's solo work would be a nice addition to the rotation.

the best way to sample Iguana - Hot off the barby.

I remember that like it was yesterday.  Hard to believe its been 30 years.  Fortunately, the song wears well.  Of course if it was played a couple times a day I'd be putting a pick through my ears.

I recently took a 10-day road trip in a car with Sirius XM radio. Heard this about six times. Not that that's bad, but compared to RP satellite radio pales.

This entire album is awesome and has a definite 'southwest 80s/festival' sound to it. A sound that is unique and unpretentious.

For me, this is one of those classic songs that made watching MTV so much fun back in 1983.  Of course it wasn't complete unless you had the cable splitter that allowed the awesome experience of hearing the music IN STEREO!

Funny thing about this song is that it was only oversaturated for a very brief moment in time. Still seems fresh!

I remember when this came out. They actually played live (ish) on American Bandstand with Dick Clark. They had the door on stage and all. I dont think anyone in the audience had a clue how to react to it.

Saw Kinky cover this at ACL Fest a couple of weeks ago - a perfect melding of music and concept!  They rocked it (and Stan seemed pretty pleased with it as well)!
