BE BOP A LULA
Listen to a clip of this song: (MP3)

(arranged July 1977)
I borrowed Vitus's 4-track and messed around with a lot of stuff
- obviously this was an attempt to do Gene Vincent's immortal
song as the Doors would've. Best overheard response was in 1980
at Al's Bar, when one biker said to another, "You know who
this guy reminds me of?" and the other responded "yeah
- GENE MORRISON". . .
Who could hope for more.
I think we were playing with the late lamented Top Jimmy, appropriately
enough. |
(written November 1976)
Yeah, I voted for Carter. Big deal.
The music for this was actually completed Summer 1974. I could
never find words for it, and originally scripted it as a love
song for my current girlfriend (who shall be identified as "F"
subsequently) in August '74. The lyrics, however, as you might
suspect, were corny beyond belief. I liked the music however,
and revisited it just prior to the 1976 Presidential elections,
turning it into an arguably equally corny political diatribe.
Standells ripoff, you say?
Damn straight. |
