In 1967 he first shot his landlady with a shotgun and then killed himself on the eight-year anniversary of Buddy Holly's death.

No back-story for 'Black Night' or 'Smoke on the Water'? Oh well... guess everyone knows those anyway :) What? No back-story for 'Black Night' or 'Smoke on the Water'?

The lyrics are actually quite sexy and just metaphoric enough to be played on the radio at prime time. A jewel of the French language. JP For the record, in the sentence:

That song and Young Frankenstein were too contemporaneous (and too huge) NOT to associate them, but I had no idea they were really related. Remember, it's pronounced EYE-gor.

The tape on which it had been recorded was sent to the studio by accident, and they liked it so much they him rewrite the lyrics into something more romantic.
