    This song is definitely not the best "outlaw song" out there, but it's a good listen none the less.
    7/10

    Reminds me of (but is less cheesy than)
    Young Gun

    BTW, is it OK that I give my links a title? I see nobody else doing it. Just wondering as when I give the name of the song in here, I give away the surprise a bit There is nothing in the rules about it though...

    I don't dislike the song as I indicated in my post. It certainly appeals to me more than the any pop group. However, I did find Liza Minnelli's performance rather strident in comparison to that of Julie Harris in the non-musical version of the film but, as I have said, it's a question of personal preference.

    Ah, not keen. Sounds a bit wishy-washy to me. 3/10

    How about:

    A classic, no?

    After listening to 5 seconds of this "song", the unnecessary words in your post are 'rebellious' and 'teenager'.

    Haha, isn't it the most cliche thing you've ever heard in your life?

    Here's Kirsty - who I think I'm going to offer more often here, and whose death upset me more than most anyone I can remember who I didn't personally know - doing a version of a song that even its writer loved.

    Dear God, that's horrible. It's the sort of music that would be played in the elevators in Hell. Designed to turn the human brain to mush in seconds. 1/10.

    Here's something with a bit of life:
