"End Of The World" sounds nearly similar to "Shake Some Action".
Coincidence? Or just a case of recycling chord progressions and hooks?

Buddy of mine, Pat "Pooch" DiPuccio of Flipside fanzine, was a fan. He even had an Armstrong way back in '76. I think he's still playing, but not sure what ax he's using.
