"Old Time Rock and Roll" is a song made famous by Bob Seger, which is featured on his 1978 album Stranger in Town and released as a single in 1979. It is a nostalgic look at the music of a previous generation. The singer claims he prefers blues, soul music, and rock 'n' roll over tango or disco. The song was featured in the Tom Cruise film Risky Business and gained widespread notoriety because of its inclusion. The track was also featured on WKRP in Cincinnati on the episode "Pilot: Part Two", shortly after its initial release. The song was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The famous piano "false start" at the beginning of the song was actually an error caused by the tape operator at the recording studio. Seger and his management, however, liked how the "mistake" sounded and kept it in the final mix. See Less
