Inspiration for Second Hand News?

I listened to Jive Talkin' on YouTube. The only similarity I hear between that & Second Hand News is the rhythm guitar doing the chocka-chocka in that martial style.

But a million songs do that, too. I think Lindsey just thought Jive Talkin' had a great hook.

I think an even bigger influence on Second Hand News was the earlier album's Monday Morning: both the idea of leading off the new album with a galloping rock track in a major key & the military roll of the drumming.
