Any old way you choose it, if you want to dance with me...
(Just edging out "Roll Over Beethoven.")

I remember the PSA about Radio Free Europe that inspired the song. The voice in german, the tight close-up on the LP spinning, and finally announcing in English, "On Broadway" by the Drifters.

I'm personally beaming at his choice of Beatles songs. One of THE most iconic piano breaks in rock history, and of course, basically the only thing Nicky ever did with them. Lots of stuff with three out of four solo, but that was the only Beatles that I remember him doing.

Good choices, all the way around.
