I used to listen to the Krokus version of that song repeatedly.  Come to think of it,
I probably still would if I had a copy of it other than the one I have on vinyl.

I listened to this one too much when I was younger.  I only like to hear it
occasionally now.

Annoying.

I love this song, but everything else they do all sounds the same to me, drab and
annoying.

I always think of Animal House when I hear this.
