This was my favorite song for a couple years. Only had a cassette recording from Andrea 'Enthal's magnificent '12 O'Clock Rock' show (lamented since 1998). Could never find the record for a while, then discovered their first and Ennui Go. Now they're on Myspace and iTunes, for crying out loud. I guess if we wait long enough, all will surface on these interwebs? Can dream.
Mattie Hattie Hein and Luke Hollywood, if you happen to read this, you are wonderful and beautiful human beings! I wish I wasn't such a loser back then and could have been cool enough, or realized I was cool enough, to hang out with you guys.
I heard John introduce this song on a different show, it was Summer, I had it on tape for years and it eventually broke.
I used to spend MY Sunday afternoons trying to pick up teenage girls at the movie house.
I suck I suck I suck I suck
suck suck suck suck suck suck suck

She will bring me bad luck.
Your bird is too old now,
Your bird is too grey,
So give me me money,
This bird she wont lay
