Lita Ford played guitar in the Runaways and opened for Sabbath in ‘82, but Joan Jett’s still on the road while she’s at home popping out Jim Gillette’s babies. Vh1 still plays “Close My Eyes Forever” a ton, of course, but sometimes it seems like Viacom’s contractual obligation to keeping Ozzy in the limelight is responsible for that. It’s easy to forget how successful Lita Ford was as a solo artist (especially after Sharon Osbourne stepped into the picture); don’t even pretend like the video for “Kiss Me Deadly” didn’t make you want to jerk off in a sock. Where’s the Shania Twain cover, and why haven’t any American Idol “rock” wannabes taken a crack at this one? Who knows, but how about Reel Big Fish, Damone (featuring cameo-whore Butch Walker) and sad sack Matt Nathanson instead? Thanks to the Deciblog, your weekend just got a whole lot cornier! Uh huh, it ain’t no big thing.

Reel Big Fish, “Kiss Me Deadly”

Damone w/ Butch Walker, “Kiss Me Deadly”

Matt Nathanson, “Kiss Me Deadly”
