“Rock and Roll part 2″ is a song that has penetrated the collective consciousness. It’s played at sporting events nationwide, as well as at various pump-up points in movies.
And for a long time I actually doubted the existence of “Rock and Roll part one”, because “part 2″ was so ubiquitous, and I’d never heard “part 1″, and I thought that “Rock and Roll part two” was a cool enough title that a part one wasn’t even necessary. Plus, all they say is “hey” in part two.
But the other day, for the first time, I heard “Rock and Roll part one” at trivia. And I asked the DJ if it was, in fact “part one”. And it was. I was delighted. I actually prefer it to “part 2″.
Then I remembered that Gary Glitter has been convicted on child pornography charges.
But it’s still a good song.
…and “Yadnus” by !!! is “Rock and Roll, Part Three”
