On-and-On (April 24, 1956 – 1970) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who was a top runner for owner/breeder Calumet Farm and the sire of their 1968 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, Forward Pass and the damsire of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Alydar.
Bred in Kentucky, On-and-On was trained by future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Jones The colt did not develop enough to compete in any of the 1959 U.S. Triple Crown races but went on to win the Ohio Derby and at age four earned wins in important events such as the Brooklyn McLennan and Tropical Park Handicaps, setting a new track record for a mile and eighth on dirt in the latter that was only 1/5 of a second off the world record.
"On and On" is a song by American singer/songwriter Stephen Bishop. The song became a major hit, peaking at number 11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was his greatest hit, and spent 28 weeks on the chart. In Canada, the song peaked at number 6.

The Rockers were a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty that teamed from 1985 to 1992. The team worked for NWA Central States Wrestling, the American Wrestling Association, Continental Wrestling Federation, Continental Wrestling Association and the World Wrestling Federation. In 1992, the team had a violent kayfabe breakup that helped propel Michaels into the singles ranks with "The Heartbreak Kid" gimmick that he used until his retirement in 2010. After the breakup Michaels and Jannetty had an on again, off again feud due to Jannetty leaving the WWF on more than one occasion. In 1996, Jannetty teamed up with Leif Cassidy (later to be known as Al Snow) to form The New Rockers but the team never achieved much success in the WWF and ended later that same year.
In 2005, The Rockers reunited for one night but nothing more came of it because Jannety was released by WWE. In 2006, Jannetty was slated to return and work an extended angle, teaming with Michaels against Vince and Shane McMahon but only made two televised appearances before being released from his contract. Instead, WWE reformed Michaels's other team, D-Generation X, to fill the story line.
The Rockers (Rokkazu) were formed in 1977 in Hakata, North Kyushu, a five-piece band which recorded three albums between 1980 and 1982 ('Who', 'Come On', and 'Shakin') under Canyon Records.
Their frontman, Takanori Jinnai, went on to have a two-decade acting career and winning Best Actor accolades at the Japanese Academy Awards on two occasions and became a film director in 2001.
They were featured in the film Rockers (2003 film) by directed by Takanori Jinnai which recorded of the spirit and energy of the early Japanese punk movement, the band splitting up soon after filming was completed.

Now I got a reason for breathin,
goodbye Hollywood and hello Cleveland.
I didn't tell my girl I was leavin,
packed my bags, jumped in the Lincoln.
Suicide doors more to the meaning,
Four on the floor, three on the tree and,
I'm doin' speed on the 405 freeway,
Officer give a white boy some leeway.
Downtown with the he-say she-say,
Dont mean nothin cause the he-she's cliche.
Downtown where your dreams just decay,
$40 for a ? $20 for a BJ
But uptown they play my CD's
Girls wanna fuck me, boys wanna be me.
Who's Mickey, she said, and smiled in a special way.
When the neon lights shine down,

When you're on the ave...
Now I'm gonna keep on creepin'
Latchkey kids gettin' high all weekend.
Lookin past the hood of my Fleetwood,
Jesus on the dash and the king on the speaker.
You can find me in the back of the theater like
Pee Wee Herman, holdin my weiner.
I ain't seen her since the milk went bad
and I didn't mean to beat her is what I told her dad..
Round town it's a stone cold fact,
Avalon got a gun in his lap.
Round town you can hear the clap,
when I take the stage, and shake my ass.
Out of town you can feel the heat,
when my bus pulls up and steals your freaks.
Out of town you can feel the noise,
come on girls, rock your boys!

Now I'm gonna speak on freedom,
do what you like fuck other people.
They tell you what you're supposed to do,
how about your girl do me, and you do you.
Now kick rocks before you get shot,
in the back of the head all you heard was POP
Goes to weasel cause the weasel smoke rock,
Hypodermic needle paramedic on the block.
Chop your body up, drop it off the dock,
why you gotta go and call the mothafuckin cops?
It's too late babe it could've been great,
but you had to go and stab me in the back with a steak knife.
Late night, waste away,
Chain smokin' til the drapes turn grey.
Cocaine helps me face the day,
and then the pills wash the pain away.
I won't be blamed for your mistakes,
burned at the stake,
for God's sake.
When the neon lights shine down,
