    "Order to shoot" seems like that would be "Fire" but the group doesn't seem to be The Pointer Sisters.

    Seems like the song must be something like 'Eat My Brain', but I come up empty on the band so far.

    My research shows a band I haven't heard of but even that may not match the clue.

    Yeah, no clue here either.

    I am a huge fan of this guy and his band, and he is the finest live act I have ever seen.
