| Okay, 1 1/2 more listens, this time at home with the volume up. It IS kind of catchy, in that summertime novelty song kind of way. The comparisons to Kid Rock's hit last summer, w/ the Werewolves of London sample, are good ones. But, still, its an ill-fitting coat for Meat's voice and persona. Could actually be a hit for somebody else, but I don't believe it will work for Meat. > You know, I appreciate that Meat wants to try different > musical styles instead of the same pseudo-theatrical, > bombastic, occasionally epic, melodramatic rock and / or > power balladry that he is known for, but... > > Other styles just don't suit him.
