About seventeen years ago, I received an anonymous card that was one long threatening poem that ended with a warning, “Soon you will get the shaft.” I waited and waited, and the shaft never came (that I know of). To this day, I have no idea who sent me that card.
CONTENTS:
| Marvin Sease “Candy Licker” (1986)So who’s Jody? I know Marvin says it’s him at one point, but then he tells all the guys and ladies listening in that they can be Jody too! My name’s not Jody, but I do like candy. Wait, what’s this song about? Its subtlety is lost on me. |
|
| Crazyhead “Fortune Teller” (1988) Mention that you went to a fortune teller and are giving their words credence, and I will be thinking ‘bullshit’ automatically. I will do this despite having gone to a fortune teller myself and being impressed with her reading. Big deal if the lady got everything right. She just made 50 or so lucky guesses in a row, right? | |
| On the Eighth Day “A Million Lights” (1965) On the seventh day, God took it easy so he could rip shit up on the eighth day. This is the music he partied to. | |
| Darden Smith “Love Left Town” (1991) Oh, you’re looking for love? Ah man, it just left, said it was going out of town. I think it said something about checking out the new fountain that the bank in Alpeton just finished. Yeah, you know how love has a thing for fountains. | |
| Fatal “Timber” (1993) These are the kids that your parents REALLY didn’t want you hanging out with. | |
| Kila “Perfume” (1993) Hold on, “Timber” and “Perfume” were recorded in the same year? Kila must’ve chosen his name to scare off those Fatal ruffians. |
