Music Monday: Skid Row – Piece of Me
This is a weekly meme I’ve picked up from Drew at The Tattooed Book Geek. It’s very simple, you pick a song on a Monday and share it! Never one to turn away from the chance to share my exquisite taste in music I’m loving taking part in this every week, so thanks, Drew!
I’ve been listening to a lot of older music recently, Skid Row were one of the first bands I ever listened to back when I was a little one and they’ve always been a part of my music collection. I used to hang out with a guy who basically worshipped Sebastian Bach, it was hilarious how obsessed he was and he would drag me to every Sebastian Bach and Skid Row (even though SB was no longer in the band) gig that was within a 100-mile radius. He could sing better than the man himself as well. Funny thing is, last I checked he is now only a wedding singer! I hope you enjoy this.
Sleazin’ in the city
You know I’m lookin’ for a fight
I got my heels and lookin’ pretty
On a Saturday night, night, nightGood God, bless my soul
I need a fix of rock ‘n roll
Come on baby you gotta wait and see
You better hurry
To get a piece of meCaught a lonely lady she’s crying on a cigarette
I got nasty, nasty habits
And that’s all she’s gonna get from meOne for the money, two for the show
‘Round and ’round and ’round we go
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry to get a piece of meI don’t have looks, I don’t have money
But I know one thing’s for sure
One night ain’t enough of my love
She wanted more, more, more yeahSleazin’ in the city you know I’m lookin’ for a fight
I got my heels and lookin’ pretty
On a Saturday night, night, nightOne for the money, two for the show
‘Round and ’round and ’round we go
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry to get a piece of meTake a piece of me
You get a piece, a piece of me
Take a piece of me, oh hey

I loved Skid Row in my early teens and still have a soft spot for their songs now.
I wish I’d had someone to take me to their gigs.
Thanks for bringing back someone happy memories!

Aw you’re welcome! They do still tour now, although with a different singer. I saw them last year.

Yay! Skid Row! I had a bit of a crush on ol’ Seb back in the day!😍 By the way, a bit off subject, but has anyone ever told you that you look like Rizo from Grease? Especially now your hair is dark! Sorry, but I just had to say! 😂

No, nobody has said that but I will definitely take that as a compliment! 😁 Thank you. 💜

It definitely was a compliment 😀 Your profile pic looks sultry and you look like you’re staring at Kenicki in the distance! You could be the leader of the purple ladies, I’ll be bonkers Jan, and…I’m getting carried away 😮😂 (sorry, I REALLY LOVE Grease! 😂)

Awesome song! I loved “I remember you” and of course “18 and life”. I was trying to explain to my daughter just how good this music is. Great choice! 🤘🏼
