10 WWE Stars With Laughably Bad Music Careers
3. Roddy Piper
Much of the guitar music released in the 20th century has taken on a retrospective creepiness. Roddy Piper, who released 'I'm Your Man' exclusively to the United Kingdom in 1992, did not change the answer to that particular question.
"I've been watching you all night," he sings, over an almost serviceably jangly indie guitar riff. "'Cause everything about you is-" "What rhymes with night that is a compliment?", whomever wrote it on his behalf probably said, phoning it in - "it's alright", Piper croons. He is entranced by the way this mysterious woman looks, the way she moves, and the things that she says, from which we can infer that Piper sat a little too closely to her at the bar.
Perhaps he blacked up again for a second time in order to disguise himself.
Strangely, given the demographic to which the song was released, it takes on an Americana roots music quality as we reach the chorus. The lyrics however retain both a deeply basic rhyming scheme and a creepy consistency, as Piper declares that he has been "scanning" the subject (well, object) of the song all night, which is something Terminators do before murdering helpless humans.
