I think 2 is smoking in the boys room.motley crew did it but I think it may be a remotes song. As for darling be home soon,John Sebastian definitely wrote it,but he may have been in the loving spoonful. I'm still farking kicking myself.
Right song...Motley Crue are the band I was referring to when I said a well known band did a version....I'm after the band/artist that did the original
