My 14-note piano solo during Yazbek's sardonic "Hard-Hat's Lament," Moon
Pudding's tribute to blue-collar love. Bought her beer in the bottle She said she didn't like the can I spent all that money for beer in the bottle Why did she go & find another man? I can't fathom a better musical role model than the eighteen-year-old multi-instrumentalist songmeister, Yazbek. He could romance your heart with the image of "Degas in the color of her cheeks," then suddenly peel the gravy skin off a vat of sewage with the “Sun Myung Moon Song” lyric: ‘Cause Jesus loves & Jesus saves & Jesus walks upon the waves & Jesus bleeds & Jesus speaks & Jesus loves us Jesus freaks & Jesus drives a Cadillac He's here right now, I swear A fat Korean with really greasy hair At this high school performance we sang even more outlandish lyrics than that, but it was pre-PC, and nobody seemed to give a shit. (1979) |
