I don't remember them either, just the song. Looks like it was covered by the Black Keys. Oops, nope, they just re-used the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted January 16, 2021 Share #8 Posted January 16, 2021 I just opened this thread too late to answer. They were as far from my type of music as you could get but they played the crap out of that song tighten up on the radio. He introduced himself at the beginning of the song is why I knew it. Thirty years later I didn’t hate the song anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 16, 2021 Share #11 Posted January 16, 2021 Oh yeah - I can hear "Tighten Up" in my mind without playing the video. Haven't thought of the song in decades.
