"Once Bitten Twice Shy" is arguably Great White's most famous song (their most famous moment is, unfortunately, that nightclub fire in Rhode Island from almost 4 years ago, which made them the target of ridicule, mainly by lonely and pathetic radio DJ's, a job that if you don't have to speak, a monkey could do just about as well in! My favorite song of theirs is "Rock Me"; eventually I'll post one of their works) and most people think that the band very similar to Led Zeppelin wrote it themselves, but those people are wrong. Instead it was a song written and first performed by Ian Hunter, the former lead singer of the British rock band Mott the Hoople. "Once Bitten Twice Shy" was put on a solo album after he left that band. As much as I like Great White's version, I think the original is better. It's quite catchy and has a nice piano part too. It's yet another treasure of a song I discovered on the Rockin' 70's album.

Friday afternoon I'll post a remix of a song that actually makes me like what me and others find to be a complete joke of a band, a fact that most people figured out only after a few years of them being popular.
