6. Old Time Rock & Roll
“Although everyone probably associates “Old Time Rock & Roll” with Tom Cruise dancing around in his underwear in RISKY BUSINESS, I’ll remember it as the only modern rock song that every single lounge singer in Las Vegas added to their playlist through the 1980’s (and some of those renditions were definitely Bill Murray-ish).”
5. Brave Strangers
“Brave Strangers” is next and a great song about two innocent lovers who tried to get it right the first time but wound up as the title says.”
4. Still the Same
”Still The Same’ is one of my all time favorite songs, its a really great ballad, deffinatly one of Segers best ballads. “Still the Same” which talks of the ill-fated gamble on a relationship. “
