    I really like this song. It's funny I've heard Steppenwolf do it I've heard Blind Mellon do it so this morning I looked up the original Hoyt Axton version:

    This one almost reminds me of Captain Beefheart or Tom Waits. I like it alot better. For our younger readers Hoyt Axton was the father in the movie Gremlins. But he also was a singer songwriter who wrote "Joy to the World" not the christmas song but the one with Jerimiah the Bullfrog.

    Peace Out,

    whenever a band im in plays a family event or festival, i facetiously suggest steppenwolfs version of The Pusher - all those god-damns in front of the children make it a hilarious moment for everyone! lol

    Or then there is this one:

    I think you have to be black to get away with it but I still love this song.

    Peace Out,
