this is the perfect rock song

It's a great one, but that trophy goes to ONNYA. Such a kick ass song with killer lyrics, esp the 3rd verse.

np: two story town - bon jovi

I wouldn't disagree with that, it's very very very good most certainly. This entire album is just so damm good, I cannot believe how quickly it is growing on me and how I am coming to love these songs. The boys have truly surpassed themselves in my opinion.

Agree 100%! That's what I've been thinkig since the first time 've heard the song: Perfect groove, and perfect vocals by Mick! Rock'n roll at its best. Music students, listen to it!!!

yes its the stones doing what they do best...jaggers sexual vocals just perfect...if ya dont dance to this...check ya pulse..the song just rolls..should be the next single...right on the grid,right on the grid...yeah love it

right on the grid...But hey terry you ole sex-devil, ain't that a line from She Saw Me Coming?

ROCKMAN

It's really amongst the best songs on ABB. I really love it. Didn't take much notice at first, but Rutger told me to give it a close listen. So I did. Now I love it to death. I still think it's the ultimate road song (Well, and Route 66 of course).

This is a killer song...the start-stopintro riff is so damn catchy and groovy. A really solid rocker that's gotten overlooked a bit.

I dont think its about driving, however

The lyrics are all metaphorical

Yeah. And with Mick, the dirty old dude, there's no question what it's about.

Sometimes this is my favorite song from the album...other times it's It Won't Take Long...I love them both...I hear strains of "Bitch" in DTF

Au contraire. I dont think its about sex. It just seems to be about fast living in general and the risk of burning yourself out

Hmmm. You think Gaz? I think it's about sex. The line: "It's you in the driver seat" would be that the woman's on top. And "follow a road to the mountains" would be going from the pussy to the tits.

???

"you're in the drivers seat" is a metaphor for being in control of what you're doing. That first verse is about making choices in your life, not about feeling someones tits!

I cant see that theres anything else in those lyrics that are about sex.

methinks youre more sexually obsessed than Mick is!

does anyone know if there are 2 versions of onnya? a chicago radio station plays it occasionally and there's no "f" word in it. it isn't bleeped out , it just ain't there. i can't recall what word is in its place, but it seems weird.

This one is really growing on me, I was not all that into it at first but it is getting there, man I love this album! Seriously the songs are growing on me more and more, it is kind of like discovering side 2 of tatoo you, that did not hit me at first but later they were in my opinion were the best tracks

y'all remember the original (US, at least) version of GHS where they overdubbed @#$%&'s "pussy clean" line - don't even know what was dubbed over that - indecipherable....

I am.

i think Gazza is right! The line "too many roads lead to nowhere" etc. is a good indicator for this too! There are enough songs about sex/women on ABB, and the stones being in their sixties got other interests too, not only the one in women and sex...

This song is ok but not great. If i had to leave 5 songs from ABB, this one would be one of the five.

It doesn't swing.
