Lyrics

theres nothing like the four winds when there blowin, theres nothing like the children when there growin, theres nothing sweeter than the roses in bloom except Carmelita dancing through the room... theres nothing like her red hair when its flowin, theres nothing like her strong legs once they're going, theres nothin brighter than the man in the moon except Carmelita dancing through the room... theres nothin like the smog in Pasadena, theres nothin like a fallen Senorita, theres nothin left out in a world of gloom except Carmelita dancin through the room

Reminds me of a cross between Robert Palmer and ZZ Top, funky little r&b grove with some nice slide.

Love the tune ..well played by pros ... kept my interest..
That's a good live band tune ...those guys are in the groove zone

G'day. Love this up tempo blues track; reminds me of one of my favourite bands (ZZ Top of course) Love that guitar work; excellently played

WOW!--what a great TOONE!--love that guitar!--man!--would have loved to be in the recording process on this one==makes a guy wanna go pick up his guitar and jam a bit!--thanxs--joe

Good feelgood track....great slide.......really enjoyed it.......
