Does anyone remember this classic HR/HM track released as a single back in 77 I think? I can remember watching the UK Top Of The Pops every Thursday evening. Although by this time glam rock was out, however it caught my attention of this band playing in an open field...if I remember correctly. But the song was frigging brilliant, could have been a Canadian or US rock outfit? Never heard from this band since, but the track was awesome. Enjoyed the promo shoot, fast and frantic, just like the band. Anyone got some infor? PowerKnight Twisted Evil

Great classic song.

I've heard this song a thousand times and never knew who played it. I've never heard the name Ram Jam before.

More recently Aussie band Spiderbait covered it to a moderate amount of success down here.

Met the bloke who fronts Spiderbait but forgot to ask him about this song, like where it came from.
