From: Blue Öyster Cult ; Year: 1972; Genre: Psychedelic Rock Been listening to early BÖC lately; I've always found their self-titled debut album is kind of a "grab bag" of sorts. Sure there are some hits and ones that sound a lot like their emerging sound, then you got some oddities... like this one. Don't get me wrong, it is not a bad song, just different. If one does not pay too much attention to the lyrics, the somewhat "mystical" sounding melody is great. However, there's not very many bands out there that can make a song about a lady being compared to a foot, but Eric Bloom really sell it amazingly. I mean, some people have a thing for feet, so it could be a compliment, but it does go into stranger areas when it tells of a man biting her face and saying she tasted like "a falling arch" and her face changing to a Guernsey cow. It may be weird, but sometimes weird is good, and is a reason I love Blue Öyster Cult and their music so much; neve...
It's true - Pat invented the Funky Friday.
ReplyDeleteWas racking the brain trying to come up with a really long funk tune to put up today, until I remembered that not only did a Songfight denizen do one, but Pat and I recorded our own version of it.
Yeah, I had another tune in mind off of his blog, but then I figured what better way to do a shout out to him and his blog than visit one of his "Funky Friday" picks on the Friday of my theme week.
