Someone want to tell me how to vote here?

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Sure. Click on the radio button next to the song that you like better.

[Detroit Hoser]

I voted for the nostalgia on this one. ♫ Cherokee nation will return...will return...will return....

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

"Sharing the Night Together" is a good schmaltzy song; not one of my favorites from Dr. Hook.

"Indian Reservation" gets the blood boiling. That's my vote.

It's a serious turn for a 60s era pop band. Or a cash grab by tapping into the Wounded Knee vibe at the time. Either way it's better than the syrupy ballad against it.

EDIT: Hmm, Wounded Knee was two years after CN. Disregard my post.

I'm a big Paul Revere and The Raiders fan, so it's an easy choice.

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear "Sharing the Night Together" is the scene from El Camino where the psycho Todd is driving out to the desert to with Jesse and his ex-housekeeper's body rolling around in the bed of the pickup.
