The Raconteurs Steady as she goes owes more than just a wee debt to Joe Jackson.

B/c I don't really remember who Joe Jackson is at all ... but if "Steady as she goes" is lifted from him, I should search around b/c I love that song.

Posted by: Armand at November 24, 2006 01:02 PM | PERMALINKSo I was driving around today and listening to the radio - and I've got to say, even if it is unoriginal, "Steady as She Goes" gets my vote as one of the best (or at least catchiest) songs of the year.
