Songs of Myself

Martin Stein

When Bruce Willis and the Accelerators play the Golden Nugget, much of the attraction will be to see the world-famous action movie star in person. Though the band is known for its blues sound, with Willis on harmonica and vocals, what isn't as familiar to people is the songs they perform inspired by Willis' film career:



Shock The 12 Monkeys


Is it a song about jealousy or a warning of an apocalyptic future? Or is it simply about apocalyptic jealousy? Or jealous apocalpysy?



Die Hard To Handle


Sample lyric: "Hey little thing, let me light your candle / 'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle / Yippie-kay-ya, motherf--ker!"



Beethoven's Fifth Element


A shock to critics when first released, Willis nearly damaged a lung hitting the first long E-flat.



Unbreakable My Heart


If Toni Braxton got super powers, this is what she'd sound like.



Hart's War (What Is It Good For?)


If you're not acting as a lawyer for a black POW in a WW II prison camp, then nuthin'! Say it again!



Look Who's Talkin' 'bout Pop Muzik


New York, London, Paris, Munich, everybody's talkin' 'bout Kirstie Alley being the size of a house.
