TBT: The Flamin Groovies, "Shake Some Action", a tonic for the Mets.

All right, my Mets, time to get serious. Get back to Citi and show those Royals what you're made of. This 1976 hit, which I first heard on a "New Wave" anthology I got in 1977, is just the picker-upper you need. Get out there and shake it!

Update: the tonic worked tonight! Mets 9, Royals 3.  Let's keep it up!

TBT: Golden Earring, "Radar Love."

I remember somewhere this Dutch group's 1973 hit being voted the best song to listen to while driving. This live video must have been made in Holland; everyone in the audience seems so reserved. I'm guessing the bored looking women sitting on the edge of the stage are the band members' wives or girlfriends.
