I want this song to have it's own thread. I don't think it has one, yet. Though my search results came up a bit batty. If we've discussed this before, please stop me now, that's fine.

Not my favorite song of his, but a good one, yes. I go on huge Hitchcock binges and listen to nothing else for days at a time.

I saw him live recently, nearly by accident (strange things happen when the Beta Band break up and decide not to play the gig you bought a ticket for). I was so impressed that he played "Wax Doll" (and "Queen Elvis" secondly). It was like he knew his own strengths. He actually *knew* what were the best two songs of his entire career and there they were. Wow.

I haven't seen him play in a great while, but I never missed the chance back in the day. ALWAYS entertaining.

My favorite track from that first album will always be Brenda's Iron Sledge, but I don't have any credible reason to back that up.
