It's time for another song on my list of favorites that have "burn" (or some variation) in the title. After two days of obscure country music you're probably relieved to see this one show up....and yes, this is the song you're thinking about, not some obscure country song from 1942 with the same title. Here's today's rocker. #5: Burnin' for You - Blue Öyster Cult MORE COWBELL!!!! Oh, wait, wrong BOC song. Much more rocking and upbeat than their other "big hit" (1976's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"), this is the kind of Blue Öyster Cult music I prefer (along with their other well-known song, "Godzilla"). Not that I'm a big fan or anything, but if I'm going to have morbid death songs, make mine country! Enjoy this rocker. Burnin' for You Written by Buck Dharma and Richard Meltzer Recorded by Blue Öyster Cult From Fire of Unknown Origin, 1981 Home on the highway:
Music video by Blue Oyster Cult performing Burnin' For You. (C) 1981 Sony Music Entertainment Inc.

"Light my fire" (oh that was done by the Doors) Anyway, what a terrific pick cow bell or no cow bell. Their best tune in my humble opinion!
