They also wrote Sweet's \"Blockbuster,\" Suzi Quatro's \"Devil Gate Drive\" and Tony Basil's \"Mickey.\"\n--\n\nIn 1973, Sweet performed at the Grand Hall in Kilmarnock, Scotland, where they were driven offstage by a barrage of bottles. It's likely that when the songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman heard about this donnybrook, they used it as the basis for the song.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
