Well I rang up Santucci, spoke to Lucia Gave them all they needed to know If affairs are proceeding as we're expecting Soon enough the weak spots will show
I assume you understand that we have options on your time And will ditch you in the harbour if we must But if it all works out nicely You'll get the bonus you deserve From doctors we trust
The Fat Lady of Limbourg Looked at the samples that we sent And furrowed her brow You would never believe that She tasted royalty and fame If you saw her now
But her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue The subtleties a spectrograph would miss And announce her decision While demanding her reward: The jellyfish kiss
Now we checked out this duck quack Who laid a big egg, oh so black It shone just like gold And the kids from the city Finding it pretty, took it home And there it was sold
It was changing hands for weeks till someone left it by their fire And it melted to a puddle on the floor For it was only a candle A Roman scandal, oh Now it's a pool
The 801 LIVE, (extended reissue), version of this is FABULOUS too... This is a near perfect vehicle for Kevin. B.E. would be amused at Kevin doing his thing, almost clone thing, I suspect. I really like the musical backing: it's more rhythmic, a little faster and more outright "fun" than the original sly humour or 801 versions. Three thumbs up.

Another 801 Live fan! Cool. I bought the original version on release in '76, but was unaware that an expanded version had bee released. Will have to look for it.
Rats. Only the original version is available on Amazon Music.

I'm still, slowly, learning eBow. I wanted one for decades and bought myself one this year. It's a fun, weird thing to go along with my Mel9 Melotron pedal. I like the burbling interpretation of TNK.

Hey wow, that 801 version of TFLOL starts out kind of sour but really kicks in when it does. That would have been a fun show to see.
eBow, God... there's a reason I took the battery out of that thing before I put it away last time. I found it just about impossible to play on more than one string, which I would land the eBow on and stay on, to avoid the extensive rehabilitation involved in re-railing the thing onto new tracks (strings). Hope you're doing better than I did (although the solo on TNK isn't bad.)

You'll need to find Expression records or Burning Shed online to order it SUPER WORTHWHILE.

Excellent job Mark! That Kevin synthesizer surely sounds great, particularly with the (AutoTune?) FX you put on it. Rob
No autotune needed, bots are born perfect. I did put a little Izotope VocalSynth buzziness on a doubling track at one point, I think the setting I used was "VibroCreep", which I love.
