Bachman-Turner Overdrive II [Mercury, 1973]
Here's what those of us who once kind of liked the Guess Who always hoped they'd become, and if that sounds dumb to the rest of you, you're missing something. This may be crude as a ploughboy, but Randy Bachman has always had a way with the catchy riff, and Turner, I suppose, provides the overdrive. B+

maybe everyone knows this but the subtext is that this phrase was heavily used by Elvis and he had a logo with a lightning bolt and TCB that he had made into jewelry, embroidered on his jumpsuits, and painted as a mural in Graceland, etc.
so it's like they were also trying to invoke the power of Elvis, or see themselves as part of the through-line of rock and roll when they used it in their song.
