2 months pass...

And, by the same token, whenever either Hector Lavoe or Benny Moré screams "Diablo!" although no doubt plenty of others said it as well.

I like when bands shout 1 2 3 4 in the MIDDLE of a song (Local H does it a few times), giving us some advance notice that cool shit is gonna happen.

best 1234 in the history of recorded sound? right here. green's "better way."

"Er'n slutt nå, Eldar?" "NEI!"

In some other Pretenders song (live cut maybe?), Chrissie eggs on the band with a sly "Girls?..."

yep, live version of "precious," she says, "are you ready girls?" and then the shit just explodes.
