List of Songs along with a brief background about the inspiration behind this unavailable album, Its Not Funny Anymore, by Tom Simpson.
1. Valois Park
It all happened here. Our first everything. I still drop by now and again.
The strongest memory I have is riding my bike at 3:00 in the morning; full
speed into the "relocated" bicycle stand. It took me ten minutes to bend my
fingers back into place.
2. Baking Soda & Vinegar
I still find this fascinating. Instant scientist or what?
3. Theme from Expo 67
I have this tune on a 45. Just anticipating the first note brings on images
of the monorail. No more monorail, no more economy & no more people. Not a song of hope.
4. Truth or Consequences
If you are a real Bob Barker fan you'll remember how damn good this show
was. This was before he went totally commercial. I find a real parallel in
the careers of Bob Barker and Phil Collins.
5. Figure Skating, Diving, Gymnastics & Synchronized Swiming
These events really need the benefits of video playback, I mean how can the judges see some of that shit. Half the synchro stuff is underwater! Those judges should be in the pool with the athletes. This is an angry
instrumental.
6. Sauna Dream
Have you ever jumped in a sauna bath and the chain around your neck sinks
into the flesh as it heats to white hot? Well just imagine me in my dream
fumbling to remove my suit of armor. I wish I could stop these Mediaeval
dreams.
7. Mr. Migraine Glasses
I have often thought that Mr. Rogers should have had a visitor named Mr.
Migraine Glasses. He would come on the show once a week and complain about how painful his headaches are while sporting a pair of those frozen "cat woman like" glasses. Kids love this stuff!
8. Hockey Cards
It goes like this "Need'em Got'em Got'em Need'em Got'em Need'em Got'em"
9. The Award of Excellence
I had this friend who weighed in at 16Lbs. He could do the flexed arm hang
for about three hours, but not while we were rifling volley balls in his
back.
10. The French Dining Report Song
18% Ambience
1% Service
10% Food Quality
1% Food Quantity
80% Attitude
