This is a pretty easy one to do because for as long as I can remember I have been a fan of the band Cheap Trick and one of the songs that I have always enjoyed was the number “She’s Tight” which comes from their “One On One” album. It had a fun video that I used to catch way back in the day on the still relatively new MTV station (when I went to the friend’s house who had the station of course). Now this little summary is not about the band from Rockford but is instead steering focus to those Glam Rock scoundrels in Steel Panther who have just released their own take on the tune. Let’s discuss.
I wasn’t sure what to expect in the Steel Panther version but I would be pleasantly surprised since its pretty much faithful note by note rendition which is never a bad thing when it comes to doing such a legendary band. Sure, Michael Starr sounds a little different than the great Robin Zander but that was fine by me. Musically this is as solid as its original version and given the bands propensity to be sexually scandalous, I am pretty sure they loved singing “She’s Tight” over and over again. If you loved the original tune, then I don’t think you will do anything less than appreciate this one too. I liked it a lot and feel that Steel Panther continues to be one of the more fun bands out on the circuit. Yeah, they tend to drive some people crazy with the antics and tomfoolery but it’s all part of the show when it comes down to it. The bands upcoming album is called “Lower The Bar” and will be out in December. Just in time for you to stuff into your stockings
