Which was the band that wrote that song, "Ballroom Blitz" (you know, the one they play at discos - "And the man at the back said everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz")? I downloaded it off Limewire recently, and it was listed as a Blue Oyster Cult song - but listening to it, it doesn't sound like any of BOC's other stuff that I've heard. Does anybody know who originally wrote this song?
"It's all folk music... I ain't never heard no horse sing!"
- Attributed variously to Leadbelly and Louis Armstrong

Thanks, Doc. Sweet - yeah, I thought it was missing a BOC trademark Buck Dharma guitar solo. :cool:
