This was one of the songs we demoed on March 16, 1991 @ our friend Hank Decken’s Dizzyland Studios. Hank sang for the band Nevada Beach. They put out a couple of CDs on Metal Blade, and we became friends early on.<\/p>\n
Anyway, we got to the point where we were going to start shopping our music in hopes of snagging a deal of some sort. Plus, a lot of clubs were starting to ask for demos because they were booking a lot of bands. And some of them were just not ready to be on stage in clubs yet. Made sense to us.\u00a0 So, we scraped up a couple hundred bucks, and went north to New Hampshire to cut a few songs. These were simple 16-track demos. I have better production facilities on the computer I’m typing on right now, than what we used to do these songs.<\/p>\n
The track?…basically a nonsense collection of lyrics. We were in the process of inventing a drinking game one night at the house I lived in with our drummer. We came up with all these silly ideas, and never followed through with any of them. But, we did end up with some random goofiness that we put to music. And that’s what this is. We knew we could just throw stuff in, and people wouldn’t question it. So…we did it. We wrote the silliest song we could at the time. It came out funny, and went over great live.<\/p>\n
I happen to LOVE the guitar solos on this track. I was proud to have worked with a group of very talented players.<\/p>\n
Oh..and the line about “don’t covet thy neighbor’s wife” was totally about the guy who lived underneath us, Peter’s wife. She was beautiful, hot, and every other adjective you could imagine. We thought she deserved to be immortalized in song \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Well I guess you could say “every dog has its day.”<\/em> It’s the right time, and the night is young<\/em> Now every boy needs to play with a toy<\/em> It’s the right time, and the night is young This house is rockin’…I hear ya knockin’!<\/em><\/p>\n (solo)<\/em><\/p>\n It’s the right time and the night is young<\/em> I wanna fill the cup.<\/em>
\n Stay away from a cat o’ nine tails!<\/em>
