“…here I go again!”🎶
Sometimes a good thing is worth doing over to make it great. In the new episode of the Behind The Song podcast, get into the story of Whitesnake’s biggest hit, which was re-recorded and re-released with a key lyric change before it became a chart-topping monster smash.

Get it wherever you listen to your podcasts, on the Drive app, or here: https://bit.ly/3YjFsGu

If you like it, subscribe, or better yet, tell a friend!

A song that grew into its full potential after a fresh start seems right for the last Behind The Song podcast episode of 2025! Thanks for listening and Happy New Year!

Flashback to when these two got together for a chat here! Alice Cooper told some of his great stories with the Professor Of Rock for his podcast and generally wowed us all because WE’RE NOT WORTHY! 🙌

Meanwhile, our Greatest Hits Holidays rocks on through New Year’s Day! 🎶🤘

Sure it’s crappy out…but is there anything better than a rainy night in December to stay in and watch the game when the Bears are first in the North? Nah, nothing better
