Back in the day the music video for "I Ran" did more to ruffle my tail feathers than anything else did in the 80's.

Basically it was the keyboardist/singer spasticly squirming while holding down I believe a G (not the chord, just the note) for at least one measure and then switching with the same body contortions down to F (again only the note, not the chord) for the next whole measure or so. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. I haven't seen/heard the song in 30 years so I'm going by memory for this. The details might be different, but essentially the keyboard tracks for this song are minimal AT BEST.

I will happily be purchasing the Billy Squire songs, but wild horses couldn't get me to purchase that Flock of Seagulls number.

after seeing the video, it king of hit me that there was a running gag about the singer/keyboardist who use "his single finger" to play the keyboard part.

Well i kind of agree with Skyp1e on that. I will also re-update my statement and say: I'm looking forward to the vocals AND the guitar parts on this song ;)

Translation: The keyboard consisted of a guy pressing keys and gyrating. So he'll pick up The Stroke instead.

Reminds me...where is that "Chariots of Fire" DLC again???

I am at 999 songs in my library and i couldn't think of a better week of dlc to push past 1000 songs than with these songs. I wish i had a black reo speedwagon shirt and blue denim jacket so i could flick up the collar and rock out hard billy madison style. Never stop pumping out the dlc harmonix you guys rock.

Wow, so apparently both of Billy Squier tracks (+ one) came out exactly three years ago (minus one day) in GH5 as dlc.
Interesting coincidence...

I love when the DLC hits the store at the exact time that its supposed to!

Remedy this

Only one song has had the decency to show up thus far, and thanks to jibs for even discovering that one. But let's go, let's find out if anyone really wanted Everybody Wants You.

Pro Drums: Some half-neat beginner bass pedal fills, but still very very easy.
Guitar: Only a few awkward chord HOPOs stopped me and jibs from an SRFC. Pretty blah.
Pro Keys: Two note chords and awkward fast octave notes when you're actually playing.
Vocals: A sort of high range, but otherwise simple and repetitive.

Musical opinion: This song is generic in every sense of the word. It has no personality. Come to think of it, neither does William himself. His personality and charisma seems sparse. Even his hair, while big, isn't particularly noteworthy. Can someone tell me why he was allowed to have any songs besides The Stroke and The Big Beat?

So yeah, not one of the stronger DLC items of the year.

guitar and drums opinions for me: decent, they both have just enough to not be completely boring, but that's about it
