Bon Jovi - 99 In The Shade

It's funny that back in the mid 80s, I referred to Bon Jovi as "Bon Jersey"...

Afterall a mere few years later, New Jersey would become "home" to me. In fact, New Jersey will always be my "home". It's hard to live somewhere that isn't home - especially when it's the area I grew up in.

But as far as the song itself, it starts with a hint of late 50s early 60s harmonies, and builds into a full blown rockin' 80s party song.

Sorry, but any song with a chorus that includes the lyrics, "I got a party in my pocket you know I just got paid and I'm feelin' fine it's 99 in the shade..." HAS to be a good party or traveling tune in my book.
