Musical References in DC

I have no clue if he’s an Autry fan lol. I see your point as he’s the original. Just a judgement call, b/c, although he does say back in the saddle again- it’s like one time per hook. Aerosmith’s version has nonstop “I’m backs” in it? Add in year of release & I doubt whoever made that call was even aware that Gene Autry sung a song by the same name. But I shouldn’t say version b/c , besides the title, the lyrics are completely different. I do appreciate being kept on my toes tho, & I can’t say I’m right or your wrong. Could be either or? I do usually give it to the original or at least mention them even if I don’t believe it’s their version being referenced. Just a gut feeling really???

The Roxy is a music venue on Sunset Blvd. I guess it’s a double use. Because if u zoom in, it says The Thrill of it All on the billboard. So…Roxy the venue, plus using it as a reference to that band & song I guess?
