Almost as good as Don Henley

I'm stunned. Lederhosen, beer, salami, cleavage, bare wood…..and not a daft bandana or baby mother in sight.

I have that on a single, with the cover shown on the youtube vid. Bought it some time in the 80s. It's in my loft now, with all my other vinyl. I was a bit of a rockabilly fan back then (well, still am, tbh)
