"Old Time Rock and Roll" is a song made famous by Bob Seger and featured in his 1978 album Stranger in Town. It is a nostalgic look at the music of a previous generation. 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, AL. 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.
