Weekend Wildcard - Cherry Pie by Warrant

In honor of Pi Day, this Weekend's Wildcard is Cherry Pie by Warrant. This is the title off of their 1990 album by the same name. This song was written in 15 minutes on a pizza box because the record label wanted a "Love in a Elevator" type song. The band has mixed feelings about the song because it overshadowed many of the better songs on the album,

The "Dirty, Rotten, Filthy, Stinking" at the begin of the track is a reference to their previous album Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. CC DeVille from Poison actually played the solo on the track as favor to front man Jani Lane. RIP Jani!!
