“Jane” by Jefferson Starship

"Jane" is the hard-charging rocker off Jefferson Starship's 1979 album Freedom at Point Zero, built by Craig Chaquico, David Freiberg, Paul Kantner and Jim McPherson, with Freiberg and McPherson writing the words. Billboard heard stinging guitars and burning rhythm work, Cash Box called it an explosive rocker, and Record World praised Mickey Thomas' vocals. It climbed to number 14 on the Hot 100.

Then it found a second life on screen. It opened the 2001 film Wet Hot American Summer and its Netflix prequel series, turned up again at the start of Cocaine Bear in 2023 as a nod to that film, and served as wrestler Orange Cassidy's entrance music. GQ in 2015 hailed it as a trash-gem work of art.
