She's totally committed
To major independence
But she's a lady through and through
She gives them quite a battle
All that they can handle
She'll bruise some
She'll hurt some too
But oh they love to watch her strut
Oh they do respect her but
They love to watch her strut
Sometimes they'll want to leave her
Just give up and leave her
But they would never play that scene
In spite of all her talking
Once she starts in walking
The lady will be all they ever dreamed
Oh they'll love to watch her strut
Oh they'll kill to make the cut
They love to watch her strut
Yeah love to watch her strut
Watch her strut
To major independence
But she's a lady through and through
She gives them quite a battle
All that they can handle
She'll bruise some
She'll hurt some too
But oh they love to watch her strut
Oh they do respect her but
They love to watch her strut
Sometimes they'll want to leave her
Just give up and leave her
But they would never play that scene
In spite of all her talking
Once she starts in walking
The lady will be all they ever dreamed
Oh they'll love to watch her strut
Oh they'll kill to make the cut
They love to watch her strut
Yeah love to watch her strut
Watch her strut

"Watch her strut"? After 40 years I thought it was "watch her strip". Had no idea.
Good to hear these classics late at night. Reminds me of the usual classic rock fare from 30-40 years ago at night (whether at home or listening to the radio on a night shift), and makes those familiar nights feel a bit closer.

Oh, William...
The deeply uncool Bob Seger would be much more cool if you played better stuff. I know there's not that much, but there is some.
Start with "U.M.C." from the album Seven. It's likely the most clever song Seger has ever written.

Oh, baby. Bill Goldsmith is an American National Treasure of Disk Jockeys. In Japan, they would register him along with the guys who still know how to make katanas by hand. He may not be in the studio 7x24x365, but you can most definitely be assured that there is nothing random about the song selection at Radio Paradise. He and his wife, Rebecca, put a great deal of thought into the song selection, the sequencing and the multi-dimensional segues (tonal, rhythmic, temporal, melodic, thematic, etc.) .
This is an unusual selection for RP, though . . .
I think that we're kicking a little loose, during the COVID-19 crisis. The national disc jockey is stepping up to the plate.
RP forever!
Absolutely. Bill is the King of the Segue, DJ of the Global Soundtrack. Nothing random. Always subtle and even be overlooked, until a theme or pattern of some sort filters up and through the listeners general sense of Damn This Is Good Music.
This here is a good example of the genre-bending BillBecca talent for inserting a marginal artist hit like Mellencamp or Seger and make it listenable for those who aren't fans. Even Dave Mathews Band!
LONG LIVE THE SEGUE. LONG LIVE LONG FORM. LONG LIVE RADIOPARADISE.

Back in 1978, while stationed in Millington, Tennessee, several of us culturally elite Northeasterners, drove to Memphis to go see Boston. One of the background bands was this named BOB, whom none of us had ever heard of.
We were blown away at how his show was so much better that the main band.

In the lyrics, I believe that "butt" is misspelled as 'but."
I give it a nine, partly due to that almost painfully funny pun.

I used to see a local band in Bristol with a girl singer (in about 1988 ish), who used to do a cover of this song. They were called 'Sell House, Send Half' (a brilliant and memorable name).

Great band name, especially for one with a girl singer! 🤣

One of the mainstream Bob Seger songs that's stood the test of time. Inspired by and perhaps overplayed in strip joints but what the hey...

I originally rated this a 5 bc it felt out of place here (it's a fine song). However, if they can "respect her butt", then so can I. Bumping to 7.

You guys remind me of riding the TTC when the Q was about to launch and they had ads claiming "Album Rock". That lasted until they got sued for playing, I believe it was a Springsteen album, as people were recording off the radio.
I got some albums off CHEZ 106 in Ottawa that way one of them being 'Stranger in Town' (I did buy it later on though)

starting to think anything by bob is a 10 like thus song
This tune was heavily overplayed on the radio & I burned out on it! I have now gained a new appreciation for it! Great tune! ...especially in FLAC w/ excellent phones, amp & DAC!
That cover caught my attention, wondering why!
My Man!
Called a poor man's version of Bruce Springsteen.
Nothing poor about him!

This will always be an 8 for me thanks to a very specific vision that I'll always remember.
Nobody does this better than Bob Seger.

I think that we're kicking a little loose, during the CORVID-19 crisis. The national disc jockey is stepping up to the plate.
RP forever!
Saw this comment in the forum and bounced over here to make sure that this really was in the RP playlist. I would have guessed that "Her Strut" was too embedded in 80s AOR for Bill to play but I've been proven wrong.
It's a good-to-great song if you remember the back-in-day and make your memory-lane trip fairly brief. Definitely one that Tom Cruise as "Top Gun"'s Maverick would have played on the local bar's jukebox. That's not something he could do these days as the Old Guy in the squadron.
I wonder what Rebecca thinks of this song...

Reminds me of being an 18 year old paratrooper at Ft Bragg, NC and going down on Hay St (Main St) to the topless bar "Rick's Lounge", shooting pool, spending our meager enlisted pay, drinking beer and watching the girl's strut. J Geil's was big around the same time. That was back in the day when they played rock at titty bar's...

Wow this is a surprise! Chicago Stadium in the 70's! That was a fun concert.
and we did respect hers...
I tried to do a search on the band and they don't even exist in Google. Just got a bunch of returns for home sales sites. You would think a few old indie bands from the 1980s would exist somewhere in the depths of the Internet, but I guess not, at least not anymore.
