Rocket 88 — Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats

Beatnick Fly — Johnny and the Hurricanes

My suggestions: 1) quit trying to be creative 2) Play. I don't mean play your instrument, play around like a child, experiment. Record everything. 3) Do this every day.

It's like saying, “Does learning grammar kill writing creativity?” It is my firm belief, if a creative person can make great music, learning music theory would only help by having another virtual tool in his/her kit. I think you can make fine music without it - but - IF, and I mean IF you have the talent. But without theory, what you create is limited. You could write a great rock song, but the chances that you will compose a great symphony without knowing music theory are slim to none. Knowing music theory did not hurt Shatkovitch, Dvorak, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, or Saint-Saëns any. Notes ♫

I think the ad copywriter needs a new job.

Shake Your Money Maker — Elmore James

Hmm. Need some extra money? Looks like someone is advertising a job opening herre.

No Particular Place To Go — Chuck Berry

I don't think mirrors work like this...

I tried to steal spaghetti from the shop, but the female guard saw me and I couldn't get pasta.

I Feel Fine — Beatles

Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile) — Santana

25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago With some fantastic guitar playing by Terry Kath. Not only the solo, but the counterpoint behind the vocals. Too bad, he was inclined to play with guns, he was, IMO, one of the best guitarists of the era.

In My Room — Beach Boys The words are definitely adolescent, but the song is sublime. The melody, harmony, counterpoint, and arrangement is delightful. IMO Brian's best work.

A day late, but still punny...

Dog Eat Dog — Ted Nugent
