I like the song, I first heard of it from Andy Partridge in a MTV Postmodern video from 1989. I bought a Southlanders CD, It hasn't arrived yet though. watch?v=v46iZ-9ugMg
Thanks for posting this! It has settled an argument of many years with a friend who thought I had completely made this up! John-boy, you owe me that beer!
I love this song! Took me YEARS to find it - wasn't until Google came along that I finally found it. Someone had put it on a tape for me, I think from Ian Whitcomb's radio show! Thanks for posting!!!!
