EDIT: Had to find another version of the tune since YT took it down. If this one is gone by the time anyone reads this, just holler and I'll find another if I can.
The opening riff of this song is heard on the beginning of the Rush Limbaugh radio show and today is the 20th anniversary of his nationally syndicated show. I heard the first one while waiting on the TSTI lunch room to open. Listened for a few months, but stopped.
Reminds me of a joke, but it's tasteless, so I won't repeat it. (yes, even too tasteless for THIS blog) It involves Rush, the Hindenburg and a Nazi reference; you can Google it if you are curious.
