'Stranglehold' is a single and the first track from Ted Nugent's self-titled 1975 album. The vocals are by Derek St. Holmes. However, the 'Sometimes you wanna get higher' verse is sung by Nugent. Nugent admits that the song was cowritten by Rob Grange, who received no share.[4]
A C D A G A The road I cruise is a bitch now, baby, but no, you can't turn me 'round A C D A G A And if a house gets in my way, baby, ya know I'll burn it down A C D A G A You ran the night that you left me, you put me in my place A C D A G A I got you in a stranglehold, baby, that night I crushed your fate OUTRO: A - C - D A - G - A END ON A.
'Stranglehold' – a guitar-driven track, over eight minutes long - set the stage for Nugent's career, its guitar solo having been recorded in a single take. “I used delays to create this really wild guitar duet with Ted,' said producer Tom Werman. 'It was like two guys were playing. I sent it off to Ted for his approval. He called me up and said, ‘I love what you did with Stranglehold – but don’t ever do that again without asking me.’”[5]
Reception[edit]
'Stranglehold' has been ranked 31st greatest guitar solo of all time by Guitar World.[6]

Let them come game. Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Here I come again now baby
Like a dog in heat
Tell it's me by the clamor now baby
I like to tear up the street
Now I been smokin' for so long
You know I'm here to stay
Got you in a stranglehold baby
You best get oughta the way
The road I cruise is a bitch now baby
But no you can't turn me round
And if a house gets in my way baby
You know I'll burn it down
You ran the night that you left me
You put me in my place
Got you in a stranglehold baby
You better trust your f-a-t-e..

Yeah sometimes you wanna get higher
And sometimes you gotta start low
Some people think they gonna die someday
I got news I've got to go
Come on come on up
Come on come on up
Come on come on up
Come on come on up
Come on come on come on come on baby
Come on come on come on come on up
Come on come on come on come on baby
Come on come on come on
Road I cruise is a bitch now
You know you cant turn me round
And if a house gets in my way
You know I'll burn it down
You ran the night that you left me
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold baby
That night I crushed your face
