Vegas, Baghad, and the NCAA: Name that tune!
December 30, 2006 4:26 PM Subscribe
While on a road trip through Texas, I heard a song on the radio about watching the NCAA tournament on one TV while the bombing of Baghad was happening on another TV in the Las Vegas Airport. Can anyone name the artist/title of this song? It was a nice, bluesy song.
I'm curious about this because I was in Las Vegas with some friends when the war on Iraq was started. It was a bit surreal watching people gamble, watch basketball, and also watch a city get the full shock-and-awe treatment.

It is on iTunes.

It's here, too, if you'd rather not deal with Apple's DRM.

Response by poster: That's interesting. I had no idea it was Chip Taylor--I saw him play at Gruene Hall in Gruene, Texas a few years ago. It was pointed out that he wrote the song, "Wild Thing" made famous by the Troggs. Thanks for the help!
