We went to a shopping mall
 And laughed at all the shoppers
 And security guards trailed us to a record shop
 We asked for Mojo Nixon
 They said he don't work here
 We said if you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin
Can't ya just hear ol' Bob singing that?

 i believe "we've got tonight" was also used in an episode of "life goes on". that family drama from the late 80's, early 90's.

My main issue with Bob Seger is he doesn't know how to end a song.  They all seem to end the same way, with him reciting the main chorus line over and over until it fades out.  That gets old.

Sidenote, one of the best uses of song in TV was a Bob Seger song in the Wonder Years - "We've Got Tonight" in the episode "The Accident" where Winnie Cooper breaks her leg.

I always thought that song where they say he looks like a woman was kind of funny, given his facial hirsuteness.

I think that was the point of the original version Steny: it's an autobiographical take on what it's like to be different (i.e. a long haired rock star on tour)
 
 Here I am - on the road again
 There I am - up on the stage
 Here I go - playing star again
 There I go - turn the page
 
 So you walk into this restaurant strung out from the road
 And you feel the eyes upon you, as youre shaking off the cold
 You pretend it doesnt bother you, but you just want to explode
 
 Yeah, most times you cant hear em talk, other times you can
 All the same old clichs, is it woman? is it man?
 And you always seem outnumbered, you dont dare make a stand

Yes, but whose going to mistake Bob Seger for a chick, unless she's one of those prison chicks you see on MSNBC specials.
 
 Now any number of British singers I could see mistaking for a woman, but not Bob Seger.

Bob looked quite a bit different back in the day:

 Tho the beard should usually give it away.

He's got more hair on his face than most women have on their crotch these days.

I saw something really funny years ago.  I was driving up Wisconsin Avenue at around 2:30 in the morning, a time of night when the only people on that street are drunk drivers going home to Maryland from the bars of Whore-hey-town.  As I approached Tenleytown there was this huge pickup truck barreling down the road ahead of me.
 
 Anyway, we both saw the same thing at the same time -- a slender figure at the side of the road, silhouetted in a streetlamp's glow, long hair flowing in the breeze, thumb held out for a ride.
 
 The truck slammed on its brakes so hard smoke came off the tires, and I had to stop too to avoid hitting it.   Then he saw the same thing I did -- the slender figure was a man, with a full beard, looking just like Bob Seger.   The truck jammed on the gas and took off just as dramatically as it had stopped, tires peeling as it left the hitchiker behind.
