ongs

"Boom, Like That", which started receiving airplay in some areas of the United States in September 2004, was inspired by Ray Kroc's autobiography "Grinding It Out" and the starting of McDonald's, using many of Mr. Kroc's exact words.

"Song for Sonny Liston" is a song about the famous boxer of the same name, and"Donegan's Gone" is about the Scottish musician and singer Lonnie Donegan. "5.15 AM" tells the story of the 1967 "one-armed bandit murder".
