Billy Idol - Don't Need a Gun (1986)
One of my (if not the) top go-to tracks to get me moving - nonsensical lyrics sung with Idol's iconic badass attitude, backed by Stevens' usual killer guitar work.
There seem to be numerous other edits, which piss me off because I love this original version that was on my LP & it's both jarring and annoying when something gets cut that I'm expecting to be there, totally ruining the mood I was going for in playing it to begin with.
Bryan Ferry - Kiss and Tell (Dance Mix, 1988)
Piped. I'm a sucker for extended mixes, so sorry if it's not your cup of tea.
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton - 1980
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it
9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet
