GREAT song by Joan Jett as well. >>
Four years before Joan Jett's song (whose title, never cited in the song
itself, is simply a metaphorical allusion to a scumbag ex-boyfriend who
wants another shot at Our Joanie), Aerosmith released a song on the
*Night In the Ruts* album entitled "Bone to Bone (Coney Island White
Fish Boy)" that was a more direct (albeit still somewhat veiled)
reference to that rather unpleasant maritime import of New York City.
"Bone to Bone (Coney Island White Fish Boy)" also contains numerous
Brooklyn lyrical references aside from Coney Island (Flatbush,
Sheepshead Bay, the Steeplechase ride, the DMT train, etc.).
