Song of the Day: Wizzard “Rock’n’Roll Winter (Looney’s Tune)”

DJ D-Mac 10:00 am on December 10, 2013December 10, 2013

There’s no denying the Phil Spector influence on Wizzard’s “Rock’n’Roll Winter (Looney’s Tune)”; the song is catchy like the flu, the sound is absolutely huge, and the lyrics are pure nostalgia for the innocence of youth. Amazing.
