What memories...when this lean, mean rocker debuted in 1979, I was in nirvana. Everytime it popped on the car radio, I cranked it up (and I still do!). This infectious rock song about an undeniable force (double entendre, as it refers to both the song & its subject, a wily female) made me play air guitar/drums all the time.
So timely that I review it now, as their lead singer succumbed to cancer earlier in 2010. A fitting tribute, then.

The guitar work makes this song; it's the kind of song you want to jump up and dance to, but if you hear it too many times, it loses its appeal (so play it sparingly is my philosophy). One of the things that makes this song really great is the use of brief interludes of no song (the beat?). Anyway, this is one song that if I play it too much, I lose interest in it (kind of like a strong spice, a little goes a long way).
