Just THINK (Our Second Year of Covid) With
the help of Slipp’ry When Wet *Parental Caution: Heavy
Use of the F-word in Many Songs* *Bang
F-word waring As our fans know we always have a cover
song or two. This is from Dave Van Ronk: “Luang Prabang” off his 1985 album “Going Back to
Brooklyn.” He sings it a cappella. MixMaster Pete
created the music, including heavy use of the Laotian Zither. We all contributed to the battle noises and
stuff. This was our most ambitious cover song since “The Wreck of the Edmund
Fitzgerald (which we called “Ed Fitz”) off our king o
nuthin’ album. Bongoman dreamed up
this song, but didn’t have enough words, so jopeyer
added a few and kept using them over and over. MixMaster
Pete, as he does all our songs, produced and played
instruments on this song. He also
wrote the title. *House of Distain
F-word waring During the pandemic we had a chance to
clean our houses and “get our house in order.” Not sure if anyone did that. This started as a song about a meth
house, but became about a whore house, and then about our house… “The
Outer Space Adventures of the Space Ship Jopeyer in Outer Space!” Episode
88: “House of Distain.” Originally this song was entitled
“It’ll All Come Down.” Like most Slipp’ry When Wet songs
of that era it was about nuclear war. The original song pierced the top 100
in Uzbekistan, but like most of our work of that era, no copies actually
exist except for rare cassettes that can be found in several black market regions of central Asia. So as we finish
our second year of Covid-19, we thought it important to remind everyone that sometimes it is really
important to just… kind of… you know…THINK. A Paid
Political Opinion (that SWW agrees with) Originally this
song, which was in the top 8000 foreign rock songs in Uzbekistan for more
than a month, was entitled “Come On/Thank You for Cumming.” That version was
far more raw with far more slutty words. In
retrospect, it may have been one of the reasons we were banned for life from
Uzbekistan and most of the rest of Central Asia This FRESH NEW
VERSION has no swear words and is a 21st Century take on a 1950’s
dance craze. So, grab your partner and enjoy the subtle sexual inuendo. Jopeyer’s
rock n roll half hour Dance Show Although Slipp’ry When
Wet is an intensely and insanely political band with strong moral, political
and music philosophies, this song is about a woman in a red dress. Notice the use of words never
before used in a Slipp’ry When Wet song? *Dom’s 3hr song F-word
waring Bongoman wrote the music and words
to this song and recorded it in three hours entirely to impress a very hot
and talented guitar player. She said she was very impressed with he song. She also said
“House of Distain” was “deep.” So there’s that. Also, please note, Bongoman
does not write love songs, except for this one. *Don’t Care F-word
waring After impressing a girl with his live song, Bongoman probably wrote this song in an effort to return to normal. Most of the words other than the F-word were
contributed by jopeyer. *Nixon F-word
waring What can be said about this man? Mostly the F-word. We can all learn from Nixon. Real News Reports: Nixon, What’s Up with That? All noises on this album were made by Slippr’y When Wet, which happens to be MixMaster Pete (Pete Rehak), The Bongoman
(Paul Bruhn), and jopeyer
(Joe Meyer). Here’s more things to think about… There’s a big hole down the road.
Sometimes it looks like a beautiful, peaceful, little pond with water lilies
and lily pads and frogs and butterflies. Sometimes it’s just a huge mud hole…
with butterflies. The truth about reptiles is that they
are cold blooded. I’m not being judgmental here. They are cold blooded. So what that means is, when an alligator swallows you, you
get a really cold shiver down your spine. I found a crippled bird on the path on
a hike atop a high cliff. I picked him up… check him out… he seemed okay. So I threw him high into the air and he flapped his wings
wildly as he fell out of my sight. I’m
sure he’ll be okay. So one time I was looking up at the night sky and I thought “Hey I
bet someone on a planet around that star is looking up at me right now…” Of
course, the light from his star took thirty thousand years to get here and
the light he’s seeing left our sun thirty thousand years ago… so… we probably
are not looking up at each other. |
