"Smoke on the Water"
The first version I ever heard of that was part of a Weird Al polka medley, so that's how I always hear it in my head.

Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

GBV are reuniting for a show in Vegas, along with a shitload of other Matador bands: [link]
I've never been to Vegas...
You have no idea how much DW and I want to be at that Matador show. Alas, wee Shane will keep us home bound. We were Matador FREAKS back in the day.
Las Vegas Day Care!
Smoke on the water does allow for the best ever sorting the men/women from the boys/girls pop trivia question, though:
Q What classic album starts with the line "We all went down to Montreux"?
A: Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
What Tom Waits made it in the Christian music festival?
Chocolate Jesus, Dead and Lovely, I Know I've Been Changed (not Tom Waits originally, but he's done it), and...something else I cannot remember at the moment. It'll come to me.
Hey, it's Jim! How you doing, man? (This is Hayden under the guise of Jandek's record company.)
Anyone interested in Bowie Changes One or Lodger LPs?
It's not a Tom original but Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet? Which by the way is the world's best lullaby.
And hi Corwood, how's the High Hat?
