Aren't you thinking of "Party Till We Die," which is truly a great song of
theirs. As Billy Spradlin said "Rock and Roll is Dead " was their heavy
metal parody. Like Billy, I saw them do that number on American Bandstand.
(I tried writing about this in an earlier message that doesn't seem to have
made it to Audities so sorry if I'm repeating myself). I always thought that
the point of the song *was* easily misunderstood. It seems to be saying that
heavy metal rock has killed the kind of fun rock and roll that the Rubinoos
liked. But unfortunately doing a whole song in a style that you think is the
antithesis of fun can alienate the very people who agree with you.
