Beer me, and a shot on the side. A rhythm and blues.

[jano.e.]

I bet Johnny Kidd & the Pirates would want to stay on youtube. In Germany this is already removed because of anti piracy laws.

[frizzlefrap]

Quite often, why do British singers lose their accents when they sing, especially in the 60's?
