VL-IV: Chap7- Floozy with an Uzi

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

While Robin may be able to enlighten you, I'm not. In fact,
I have managed to avoid the song until now. On a conscious
level, that is - I saw the band at a local venue a couple of
years ago. They must have played it. But the atmoshere was
much less lame than on the video that was shot for a Finnish
TV channel; the music danceable; and the night much dimmer
than tonight when I'm in the middle of a "dropless January".
