no hint needed....

Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one, oh nooo!

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!

Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware!
No, no, please, no!

AC DC cover above !!  That is one ugly dude !!  I would bet no one could imagine hitting the sack with that !!  Sorry folks but when I look at those guys I think,, didn`t their mother teach them to comb the hair ??  Those shorts look like a dude wearing a skirt !!  Don`t like those even now !! I mean he is skinny, scrawney, with toothpick legs and those shoes look like he could ski with them !!  I mean they gotta at least look halfway decent for me to look or listen twice !!  And no Wullie I didn`t like the Stones either !! Every time I listened to one of their songs I could picture Mick Jagger in my head and that just blew it for me !!!  But it saved me a lot of money !!

Well, Dear Mart....we have a saying over here....which by all accounts...you will probably understand....even although your taste in music has left me a little bemused....."when poking the fire there is never a need to look at the mantlepiece".....now to your taste in music....are you going to enlighten us.....FZ perhaps....like weasels ripped my Flesh,...or Capt Beefheart,s Trout Mask Replica...what about...some nice Blue Oyster Cult.....surely they must have rang yer bell...or twinkled yer tootsies....or, NY,s...After the Goldrush...surely you like him....Sapphire should, but Lynyrd skynyrd.they ..hate him.......or are you going to shock us..with ..the Carpenters....etc.. ..if so..I,d rather not know....cos...that would burst my little bubble.... ;D
