Really. It is like someone got on the city bus with a video camera and got off back in the good ol'days before the flood. I wish someone would just take a video cam and ride the bus around New Orleans. Now you've gone and stuck another song in my head for the day: "Here Come The Girls" ...so I hung you onto today's Ladda.

The cover is fine as a goofy rock and roll song, but lacks the New Orleans groove of the original A lot of folks may have heard the late Warren Zevon’s cover of “A Certain Girl” It was a minor hit in 1980, making it to #50 on the pop charts.
