'for those about to rock' or 'born to be wild'

Alright folks!

My Himani has recuperated reasonably. In all probability, tomorrow she shall be discharged from the hospital.

And even KitKat, after his initial protests at being out here (I think ‘waaa… waaa’ may roughly be translated into ‘why-o-why’) and making it fairly lucid that he much preferred being inside his ma (‘taa… gaa… daa’ for ‘‘twas good in there’), has finally adopted a fait-accompli attitude towards being born to this world.

Now it’s time to ponder over some crucial questions. Given the fact that the first gesture KitKat ever made closely resembled the age-old rockers’ salute (also referred to as the ‘satanic salute’ by some, symbolising both the horned devil as well as 666-the number of the beast), 'tis only fair to assume that KitKat is going to take after his dad as far as staunch affinity to Rock and such forms of music goes. Which is why PapaKat must carefully handpick a song to initiate the little one into the religion of rock.

So the question is:
Which song would be most propah for this purpose?

I think ‘The Immigrant Song’ should do just fine.

Any suggestions?

Jaded: Love those songs, especially 'Silent Lucidity'. But I'm looking for something more, urm, potent, er, hi-octane, y'know?

And yeah, I heard that one about 616. Do you know that our Earth (amongst so many other altenate timelines and thus, possible earths) is called Earth-616 in the Marvel universe? I made this connection on my own. Cool, eh?

Bhavv: Hmm, that seems like a good choice. Or how about 'Rock n' Roll' by the Zeps, or 'Born to be wild' by Steepenwolf? Just wondering.

Elf: Thanx Elf. And about Kit, yeah, I know, look up my third last post.

Everyone else: C'mon guys, little help? I'm kinda stuck here , it being the first time n' all. More songs PLEASE!

jaded: 'Welcome to the jungle' is a real cool choice. I totally admire W.Axl.Rose.
