'Can You Dig It' - The Mock Turtles: The last of the three songs

and they all have that Nirvana opening riff, and that is their connection. Mind you, Boston were first with it, and even when Kurt Cobain brought 'Teen Spirit' to Nirvana, the rest of the band told him it was 'pinched' from 'More Than A Feeling' and they would never get away with it.
And it's there in 'Can You Dig It' too.
This is a great song, used on a Vodophone TV advert at some point, and was as such a joyous delight amidst the sea of mind-numbing dross, that it was hit all over again.
