Talkin' jivey, poison ivy

Have I found a new karaoke song? Or an end-of-workday catharsis?



This track achieves the triple crown of mid-70s hard rock: twin guitars, cowbell, and talk box.

It was also unwillingly titled, and it's that chorus that sails it over most other hairy, platform-and-flares yowling of that era. Plus, the band was named after a lyric from their heroes, The Band. And, Scottish? Cool. They were the Caledonian answer to Thin Lizzy.

GAELS RAWK.

Swinging party
Kiss me on the bus
Waitress in the sky

Bastards of young

Hold my life

IOU

We are the sons of no one.

I'll be home when I'm sleeping.

I know a place

She was every bit as warm and majestic on Friday night as she is here. Now, of course, she has a throne.



I won't forget it for a long time. And I'll see Mavis every chance I can get.

Even if it makes others uncomfortable

I don't know how I missed this, but I did.



I'm not missing her again.

As each year goes by since I first saw her, I become more certain she is a Real-Deal Queen.

When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin again

Now, I always thought of this track as a lightweight gem, a moderately entertaining karaoke track--in fact, that latter characteristic reminds me of how utterly not fun the Hidden Cove karaoke bar up on Lincoln was. And probably still is. Someone close to me sang this track, but only after practically coming to blows with either another patron or the karaoke emcee in order to do it. Or the almost-blows came after he sang. I can't remember. All I know is, that place has some bad juju--and now I know that this song has some really bad juju.

The way the beach is kissed by the sea
