Paranoid - Black Sabbath
La Grange - ZZ Top
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - George Thorogood
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin

Lido Shuffle, by Boz Scaggs
Jessica, by the Allman Brothers

You do NOT want to be around me when Lido comes on. I can’t listen to that one at any volume lower than 11. Ahhhhh…

“Smells Like Nirvana,” Weird Al
“Let’s Go Crazy,” Prince and the Revolution
“Photograph,” Def Leppard
“Lick It Up,” Kiss
