Might as well face it, you're addicted to amps Explanation: I'm not sure how well you can get a "hair" and "amp"/"volume" reference in there without making it sound all hair metal (not that there's anything wrong with hair metal, no sir, but Eagles of Death Metal are not it) and as if, in some undefined way, you've misinterpreted something. I did think of pump up the volume (on the volume theme) but the song and the reference are old and a bit of a cliché and arguably not appropriate to the band (although I did spend a Saturday afternoon in a rock pub in Huddersfield many many moons ago and seemed to listen to nothing else apart from MARRS' only single...!) So I think you need to go outside the box a bit. Some kind on play on an album or track title seems in order. The above is (almost) one, referencing the band's cover of "Addicted to Love" - if you go down this route the world is your oyster! |
