A.) Awesome.
B.) You forgot the “Ummm…” at the start of the description.
(For anyone reading, the liner notes of the compilation on which this song appears contain detailed descriptions of each song’s genesis or meaning.
The description Jonathan uses here, is the entirety of the description for this song.)Report
Ha. That’s great that that registered with you. I didn’t have the liner notes handy, and I figured I wouldn’t get it quite right.
Some of the descriptions in the notes are absolutely hilarious.Report
Yeah, this one in particular always stuck with me, I didn’t even need to look it up; its brevity is part of the punchline, that made it memorable.
Sometimes the title says all that needs to be said, you know?Report
Also, I finally watched the clip. Good sound quality!
Man, I miss those guys. I was really hoping the touring heralded a new record, but no news on that front.Report
Why wasn’t this song the theme music for Seinfeld?Report
Well, this song IS about ONE thing…but the gang wasn’t into that.
Except maybe Kramer, with the smoking jackets and pipes and so-called “cuban cigars”, wink-wink.Report
And thinking using that word was funny. He had to be high.Report
