My Top 1000 Songs #713: Cherry Bomb

[I've been writing up my Top 1000 songs on a daily basis--you can see them all in descending order by hitting the All My Favorite Songs tag.] 

1976 debut single from the Runaways, co-written by Joan Jett. And, c'mon, it's "Cherry Bomb." Not a lot of explanation needed. It still saddens me that there are apparently people on the planet who have not, at some point in their lives, had to suppress the urge to greet their parents, "Hello daddy, hello mom. I'm your ch-ch-cherry bomb!"
