Its bowling night. I stunk up the lanes, but the team pulled us through to victory. Makes me want to start with something from the days of the bowling alley. Lets find something like this ...

Ok, so "bowling songs" was a great failure. I fell back to a really cool "punk" band Social Distortion. Really dig the whole look, sound and grit of the band. This one is a little easier on the ears than their other tunes. Starting here could get us a wild ride though ...

Wow, haven't heard this band in years. According to Wikipedia, the lead singer has a PHd in Molecular Biology. I guess a little smarts is a good thing in the weird world of "punk rock". These guys have been around for a while, and this video is cool.

The song and video attributed with killing 80's hair metal. Still a great song and video. Too bad only one of these guys has gone on to do anything real in the music world. Are all left handed guitarist from Seattle bound for a short life?

Honestly, I have no expectations for this song or video. The little I know about this band is boring to me. However, with a title like that, lets see what we can get..... well, that didn't change my mind about this band at all.
Click 5 - Zombies - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ejga4kJUts
I really dig movies on this topic, not sure if the song will meet my expectations though. I have heard this one once or twice in karaoke bars performed rather poorly!?!?!? Visually, this video is stunning but the song remains far from my taste.

Gonna close this one with a song that I would never have chosen as a starter song but its not too bad. She has a rather hypnotic voice with great range. I like that on top of the acoustic guitar. Do you think she could swallow a Big Mac in one bite with that mouth though? Not a bad way to end the trip tonight.
I may have stunk at bowling, but the musical trip we took was worth ending the night. Good Night, Sleep Tight!
