ANYTHING by Screamin Jay Hopkins. Hell, I love his version of "Temptation".

"Knock on wood"?

No qualifiers needed. And it's perfect driving music!

I remember that video! Sandra Bernhard boxing the hell out of the lead singer.

They were shut down by the Rolling Stones, whose lawyers detected a track from an easy listening version of one of their songs. The group was allowed to keep maybe $1000, but everything else goes to the Stones.

Hey, a suspenseful, thrilling adventure can be just as fun as a grim-dark punchem-inna-face type "action-flick". What do you want, a remake of Batman '66? Batman's world is SUPPOSED to be scary and suspenseful. Just not so damn dark, figuratively and literally.

When I was sixteen, I could manage maybe three times a day, tops.
