Hodon, Bike, Popcorn, Special Place
Wednesday, December 14, 2005
OK, after a short haiaiaiatus during which I ripped like everything in the world including a truly gut-wrenching version of the rainbow connection, here we are again with three winners and hodon.
Hodon, of course, was by ray pruitt, or whatever his real name was, the guy who pushed donna martin down the stairs. I think that we realized on about 8 separate occasions that we ought to learn how to play this song, and it's a testament to our resolve and shared vision that we never actually did.
Bike Bike Bike, as i listen to it now, is clearly one of our better songs. i have no idea how it came about -- it's kind of a cheesy idea, which leads me to believe that i made it up, but it has good words, which was almost certainly randy's fault. the best part is at the end, when al says that he has two things to say, and then says one thing.
Mother Popcorn is exactly what it appears to be, inasmuch as anything here is what it appears to be. We all got completely drunk and al started playing bass. Jon D took randy's guitar, and randy played a box and a kazoo, which was completely incredible. It's one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time, but which i might have been ashamed of three years later, and which is now clearly awesome again.
The version of Special Place presented here is from the third living room tape, and it's pretty good, although it's mostial. I made that up -- partial has a part, this has most. For those of you who have blocked it out, the idea is that like 50 different songs is better than just one song. it always started and ended with two original songs, Special Place and Breakfast for Free. in between, the entire universe would collapse in on itself.
next week, i'm going to post the only version of spiderman's vacation i could find, and something from the harry hood party. word to the turd.
