Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video the Ian Hunter Band performing "Once Bitten Twice Shy" in honor of the birth of English musician Ian Hunter, vocals, guitar with Mott The Hoople on June 3, 1939. Ian Hunter is the stage name of Ian Hunter Patterson.
Mick Ronson played briefly with Mott the Hoople as well as being a Spider from Mars with David Bowie. He died in 1993
Rest in peace Mick Ronson.

I certainly enjoyed listening to Mott the Hoople

Happy 82nd birthday Ian Hunter Patterson

"Once Bitten Twice Shy" written by Ian Hunter
Lyrics
Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock 'n' roll was
Until you met my drummer on the grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh, so cold
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock 'n' roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Halfway home in the parkin' lot
By the look in her eye she was givin' what she got
I said my, my, my, I'm once bitten twice, shy babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
Ah, woman, you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home, you're messin' around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
You didn't know that rock 'n' roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet
I said my, my, my, I'm once bitten twice, shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
Alright!
I didn't know you had a rock 'n' roll record
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
But look at you now, it's dark as it's done
Oh my, my, my, I'm once bitten twice, shy babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice, shy
So shy
Oh so shy
So shy, baby
So shy
So shy, so shy
So, so shy, so shy'

This classic Ian Hunter song certainly deserves a couple more IMHO.
David Bowie wrote “All The Young Dudes” specifically for Mott The Hoople in 1972, giving them the biggest hit of their career. Ranson played on Bowie's own recording of the song, and a couple years later the guitarist briefly joined the Mott The Hoople before teaming up with Bob Dylan for the Rolling Thunder Revue in 1975.
