The prostitute in the song, Sukie Jones, was a creation of the front man and not a real person. One fan of the song is original Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler, who formed a band called Suki Jones, later renamed Adler’s Appetite. What is the name of the song?

Answer:

Aerosmith’s “Back in the Saddle”

The lyrics go:

I’m lookin’ for old Sukie Jones, she crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink, that’s when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink, that’d make a grown man cry
