The first bit, swooda... well, that's what soundcheck is for.

And as for the second bit, when you're in a noisy bar full of people playing pool, drinking and talking too loud you need something to.... get their attention.
And nothing works quite as well as a sucker punch Misrlou ain't the ballsiest thing we do, and I don't really don't like watching bands who kinda slink up and go "Excuse us, is it ok to play some music??"
Maybe it's "once a punk, always a punk..."
