This was the first official Hot Rails song. When we wrote it we didn't even have a full band, but the guitar riff nod to Deep Purple and the driving drum beat were all we needed to get this train-wreck started!
lyrics
I've got a fever
I'm a believer
I'll never leave her again
I get a sickness
Lord as my witness
I'm right back in it again
I've got it good
I want it bad
I got it right
I want it now

To me this is like 70ies Heavy Metal in nearly all aspects. I can understand the comparisons to Motörhead but to me they don’t really sound like them, except maybe for the Heavy Blue style lead breaks. What they do have is the drive, gravelly vocals and swagger of Motörhead. This they have that in buckets. Super fun Heavy Metal/Hard Rock that just doesn’t age. Harry Harrison
The 'stoner blues' album for me. It really does it. I've heard better blues, I've heard better stoner rock. But in combining both of those, they've really set the stage on this album.
Rock on, Matt. Wait, who? modifier
