SouthGang
SouthGang was a Los Angeles-based rock band composed of lead vocalist Jesse Harte, guitarist Butch Walker, bassist Jayce Fincher, and drummer Mitch "Slug" McLee, active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's original name was Byte the Bullet, which was changed to SouthGang before they released their first album, Tainted Angel. They had a similar style to many of the other "hair bands" of the era. The band is best remembered for their 1991 single "Tainted Angel," which received some MTV airplay, especially during Headbanger's Ball.
Tainted Angel was produced by Howard Benson and Desmond Child.
After the band's breakup in the mid-1990s, Butch Walker, Jayce Fincher, and Mitch McLee went on to form power pop band Marvelous 3, scoring a minor hit with "Freak of the Week" in 1998.
More recently, Butch Walker has had a successful solo music career, as well as written and produced hits for many of today's pop and rock artists such as Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco & Bowling for Soup.

Ode To Peggy's
by: SouthgangOn Georgia's highway 20, way out in the country,
The boys would go to have a good time.
My grandpa used to tell me when he was just a young man,
Good lovin' wasn't easy to find, so they'd head on out to Peggy's,
Where the pretties would be standin' in line.
The place was always cookin',
While them wild eyed boys were lookin' at the shortest skirts they'd ever seen.
Hangin' on the moves of those foxy, floozy, hoochie-coos, shakin', shakin' everything.
Five bucks and you could take a change on dancin' 15 rounds in the ring.
Hidey, hidey, ho, get the boys and let's go.
In and out and round, and round at Peggy's shake a leg show.
Where the honey's are the hottest and the kisses are sweet.
Rock n roll you through the night if you can handle the heat.
Bring your money, pick a honey, let's get funky at the shake a leg show.
Let's go!
