Dragula – Rob Zombie T-Shirt

Burn Rubber On Me – The Gap Band
The Gap Band released BURN RUBBER ON ME in 1980. I remember it as the song that introduced me to a sort of line dancing, or more like a crowd-dancing-in-unison-without-the-line, situation. Not my favorite thing, but I got dragged in.

Kickstart My Heart – Mötley Crüe T-Shirt
Nikki Sixx says that KICKSTART MY HEART was inspired by events on the day he overdosed and paramedics rushed in and shot him with adrenaline to revive him.
