I Don't Wanna Stop - Ozzy Osbourne
3:59
Black Rain, 2007
Written by Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, and Kevin Churko
Ozzy Osbourne died yesterday. To borrow a phrase from that master wordsmith Elvis Costello, while I cannot pretend that Ozzy's records have been a fixture on my turntable, it's undeniable that he was one of the giants in his field, and he recorded at least three songs that even I consider great enough to cement his reputation alone. I already know a few of his ubiquitous hits, so I went with this song today for its title and its unfamiliarity. Its "party on" vibe comes off as affected or manufactured, but Ozzy's sneering vocal delivery and the heavy fuzzy sound at the bass (evoking Rob Zombie) makes it an enjoyable, if slick, ride. Snort a line of ants in Ozzy's memory. Rest in power king.
