You know it doesn’t make a difference to me,
Every day I do the same old thing.
So why should I have to be clean?
Those dreaded Wednesdays and Saturdays,
Also known as Shower Days,

…I hate them.

Cover of a song by The English Beat. I like this one better than the original.

Originally written by Bob Dylan, and covered a billion times by everyone large and small, like Waylon, Peter Paul and Mary, Joan Baez and Donavon Frankereiter. Waylon’s cover is my favorite version.

I ain’t saying you treated me unkind,
You coulda done better but, I don’t mind.
You just sorta wasted all my precious time,
Don’t think twice, it’s alright.

Crack rock steady,
Are you ready to stop,
The rotten blue menace?
Let’s go kill us a cop.

My supper dish, my succotash wish.

Industrial revolution
Has flipped a bitch on evolution
The benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized
What a bummer
The world keeps getting dumber

I think Fat Mike can write some really catchy stuff and they’ve always been one of my top two or three favorite bands. Ive been listening since I bought a copy of Ribbed on tape at a MacFrugals in the dollar bin back in the early 1990s.

RIP Olive Oyl

Son of Jessi Colter and Waylon Jennings. This one is off his first album as a solo artist.

Subject of the song was actually a wealthy ex-boyfriend of Daryl Hall’s long term girlfriend Sara Allen (H&O’s song Sara Smile is about Allen) but songs about rich boys don’t sell well so it was changed to ‘rich girl’ instead. I think the ex-bf’s name is known, or at least some people who speculate about crap like this and whoever Carly Simon was singing about have some pretty good guesses. I can’t be fucked to look it up, I’m just doing this off memory.

Anyway, it’s a good song.

Written by one of the keyboardists (KH had 3 at some point, I think) , Sherman Kelly when he was in another band called Boffalongo.

I’m not really a fan of anything else by King Harvest, and apparently neither was anyone else, really. This was their one-and-done.

That old school g-funk whistle sound.
