If I were flipping through a pub jukebox and stumbled across an album called "Hair Metal Classics", I'd expect this to be the first track ("Crazy Crazy Nights" being the second). And what a solid rock-based gear change it has. When the chorus comes thundering back in the new key, for added measure, the song skips a beat. As does your heart – who can honestly say that they don't find themselves involuntarily punching the air with their clenched fist, bellowing out "whoa-oh, we're livin' on a prayer" at the top of their lungs?
