1498 The Steve Miller Band - Macho City

1498 The Steve Miller Band - Macho City

From: Circle of Love, Year: 1981
Genre: Rock/Funk/Other

For some reason I was thinking about this rather weird track last night; I haven't listened to it in over 15 years now. I remember when I first bought my copy of the Circle of Love record being amused by the entire second side being taken up by this rather odd composition. I had actually known about it prior to purchasing the album, (it was a bit of an infamous track among fans of The Steve Miller Band), and was actually looking forward to hearing it.
Except for the first three minutes or so where Steve Miller raps/talk sings this track is mostly a funky groove instrumental with either guitar/keyboard playing over it or odd noises and sound effects.

Hear the 16 and 1/2 minute studio version on YouTube.
