What's the best underrated classic?

The song title is actually Romeo Delight not Romeo's Delight

That being said Romeo Delight.

Heard a vicious rumor from your mama's tounge
You a desperate woman need a man with a gun

Drop Dead Legs

"Drop Dead Legs" was the B-side to some Van Halen single that everyone was incredibly sick of. It was mislabeled on the bar juke box (which actually played 45s back then), so every time some clueless newbie wanted to play the hit, they got "DDL" instead, to the delight and relief of the regulars.

And as "Drop Dead Leg", it made a suitable nickname for the insufferably gold-digging second wife of Sir Paul McCartney, while she was having her day in the sun.

I like the groove of Drop Dead Legs, but I voted Romeo Delight. Both rock.

And wouldn't it be sweet if that mono-pod gold digging cunt, Heather Mills dropped dead! I loath that bitch.

Drop Dead Legs

One of VH's most underrated ballsy classics with lots of attitude in Dave's vocals along with Eddie's blistering guitar virtuosity. Oh yeah, I know it's called Romeo Delight, but it was a little mistake & I wanted to be certain.
