She - Starz

She - Starz
3:20
Attention Shoppers!, 1978
Written by Michael Lee Smith, Peter Sweval, and Richie Ranno

This isn't the type of music I'm usually drawn to, but it's a catchy, high-energy burst of power-pop.  Sonically, the band is usually thrown in with the likes of Kiss and Motley Crue, two bands I could not care less about.  But while there are some gunfire drum fills and anthemic guitar, this particular song is all polished pop and no real edge, so maybe that's why I don't mind it.  Lyrically, it's about this girl who brought joy into the narrator's weepy, drunken life.  "I never get that lonely / Ever since she first showed me how / My life is so much better / Nothing can take it from me now."
