Tokyo goes pop!

Midnight in Tokyo

Artist: Y&T
Available on: Mean Streak
Time Out says: 'From afar I have come,' begins Y&T vocalist Dave Meniketti, 'a guitar was the sound that you heard.' He goes on to detail what can only be described as a messiah complex, telling his Japanese fans how rings of fire could not keep him from them. And then, hilariously, in the last couplet of the first verse, this mighty rock titan gets homesick. 'I'm wanting to get back to my home and the ones I miss so much,' he timidly bellows. But it's OK, Tokyo, because he'll be back, 'if you'll only wait for me'. Don't sweat it, Dave. We like our rockers made of sterner stuff.
