Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's overboard and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hey, I know. That's a Paul Anka number...;-D...
Wow, he's even cooler than Pat Boone.
That's too weird.
I first heard about "Rock Swings" when NPR's Terri Gross (Fresh Aire) interviewed Paul Anka about it. I remember sitting in my car in a Lowe's parking lot listening to the interview, and being very unsure if Anka was being sincere or if it was all a big joke.

That's sooo bad. I couldn't listen.
These older guys cannot get it through their skulls why some younger generation's music is NEVER going to work for them. I doubt if Paul Anka has a sense of humor about his music. He was a teen idol in the 50's. Pat Boone, slighty before Paul Anka. I remember Kurt Cobain bemoaning Axl Rose wanting to do Kurt's music and Axl was about 5 years older only. This Paul Anka cover would make him turn in his grave. LOL
Are you the Target Lady? Ermagerd!!!!!
Oh please, don't call it a cover. I will think of it as Paul running across the music accidentally and deciding to give it a go, having no idea of the previous recording by Nirvana.
When I watched 30 seconds of that video I felt sorry for Paul. Now, he can rock Puppy Love.
The Pat Boone bungle is even worse.
