For a while back in the 80's, I lived across the street from one of the hottest dance clubs in town called Meadow Muffins. That was pretty convenient, given that the club served premium liquor in their well drinks at very affordable prices - their well gin was Tanqueray, their well vodka was Smirnoff, their well rum was Bacardi. There were a few nights I just needed to make sure I didn't get run over walking across the street...
The weekend club DJ was very popular local radio DJ. His taste in music was exceptional. He found stuff that was not mainstream and made it mainstream in that other radio DJ's around the country paid attention to his play lists. His DJ name was Red Noize. He was a friend of mine. Cancer took his life a little more than 20 years ago. I really miss him.
The Romantics song "What I Like About You" was always on his weekend play list, and to this day, when I hear it, I just gotta dance!
I don't know why a left-handed drummer would play a right-handed drum set!
"Shout" was also on Red's Friday and Saturday night play list. I think the Isley Brothers originally recorded the song in the mid 1950's. Otis Day and the Knights also recorded the song, and it was featured in the movie Animal House. The crowd at Meadow Muffins weren't wearing togas when this song was playing, but the dance floor choreography was very similar to the movie. That was fun!
