It may be your parent’s rock n’ roll, but you 80s fans may already recognize it from the Desperately Seeking Susan soundtrack: Motown’s Junior Walker & the All-Stars performing “Shotgun.” It was one of those oddly violent, but incredibly catchy songs out of the 1960s. Kind of like “Stagger Lee” (of which Lloyd Price did a version in ’59). Here, the singer is telling a girl to grab her red dress, high heels, and a shotgun to shoot a “jerk” (I assume that’s code for cheater).
