always loved "do you have a garter belt". for those who don't know the song, the hook was "do you have a garter belt/would you wear stockings/if i called out for help/would you keep on rocking". and "even trolls love rock and roll" was another good one. then he had the ability to slow it down and sing love songs like "lady in my life". great talent
