        That, I think, says it all! :)

        Hell, Alan's vocals are fine.  I don't remember whether Ron sang on
this or not from the live shows, but it's just his silly overdub on this
song from the studio version which is _really_ stupid sounding (doesn't
spoil my enjoyment of the song, which is the most HWish song on the album!)

        I tried the cheesy "Karoke pon" button on my overgrown boom-box and
discovered it mostly made HW sound silly, since the mix is too busy for
the computer to decide where the vocals are ;)
        It also failed shamefully to strip Lemmy's vocals from Motorhead ;)

Cheers,
Carl
