I don't know why, but I always confused these two songs when I was a kid. Black Betty is like BTO on meth, and Ballroom Blitz sounds like a discarded tune from Rocky Horror Picture Show.


Both songs were "one and done"...you didn't have "Black Betty" or "Ballroom Blitz" copycat songs hitting the radio waves...no one knew what to make of them, so they let them have their time in the sun, and then moved on to other things. Like msadows CCS posting career.

It's weird that I'm younger than you and haven't heard any of your music from 1990s-2010s.

I’m not which song it is, but I bet it’s on a Hootie and the Blowfish album.

Great buildup to an awesome payoff - Jared Leto's death.
