"OCTOPUS GLOVES" SONG

Here's a song my brother and I made some years back (in the days of cassette tapes), based on some drawings made by Bob Canada.

These are the words if you can't make them out:
Bob was rockin' when he fell in love
She was wearing Octopus gloves
Tentacles around his neck
Love is just an inky cloud of death

Bob had a killin' urge when he was just a boy
He had a mean gym teacher by the name of Roy
Roy was just a lady's man
He had rabid poodles for his hands

Bob
Bob
Bob
Shishka Bob

Klingon women cling on him
The only thing he says to them: Ka-Pla!
Bob's drawing of Roy, the gym teach with rabid poodles for hands

    It IS a spammer! I've been getting hit by them all of the sudden. That's why I turned on the captcha. It didn't help 100% but it seems slightly better. I can't believe those guys think anyone would want to buy something from them when they're deceitful right off the bat.

    Thanks for the kind words! My brother drummed and I did the guitars. One funny thing about this song, after it was recorded I rewound the tape and accidentally hit Record instead of Play, and erased the 1st 2 riffs of one of my guitars. That's why you only hear a bass for the 1st 2 riffs.
    It was back in the days before there were UNDO buttons so when it was gone it was just gone. Fortunately I hit Stop before the 3rd riff so it sounds intentional.
    I added that 1-beat guitar chord to disguise the clipped end of the damaged track. It bothered me when it happened, but I think I like it better this way now that the painful memory is forgotten.

  8. What a great song!! Man, that's the perfect compliment of Bob's great drawing. "Love is just an inky cloud of death." Mind if I use that on my tombstone?

    It would be an honor if you used that line on your tombstone.
