From his just released new album Face of 68, please enjoy ex-dB/Continental Drifiter/power pop deity Peter Holsapple and "That Kind of Guy," aka the funniest song I've heard since I don't know when.
A word of advice: There's no lyric sheet that I can find, so it's probably best to play this one really loud or under the headphones or both, so you don't miss a word.
And at the risk of giving anything away, let's just say that if you can listen to the verse comparing the merits of Dick Taylor and Mick Taylor in the Rolling Stones without getting convulsed, you need to have your meds adjusted.
BTW -- have I mentioned repeat when necessary? 😎😎
That’s the best song I have heard from Peter in a long while. We all know that kind of guy, especially those of us who worked in a record store, where the guy was just as likely a colleague.

I suspect that there may be several people here who identify with the song like crazy. 😎
ReplyDeleteThat is a great track!

ReplyDeleteWe've all have known that kind of guy if not have been that kind of guy ourself!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Is that Jackie DeShannon on the cover?
Also: Is it possible that the act of collecting records makes you have an orgasm? I think I may have experienced a few through the years! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
I think our couple on the cover is experiencing one right now. Increasing the volume of the record is considered foreplay!!!

Hi, Holsapple here. I don't THINK it's Jackie DeShannon, could be wrong about that. But I can tell you that the album she's clutching is called Great Band With Great Voices by the Si Zentner Orchestra and the Johnny Mann Singers.
ReplyDeleteI'm. Not. Worthy.
DeleteWelcome aboard Peter.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote a great song.

The Si Zentner Orchestra - they do a fine, peppy version of "Up A Lazy River". I have the 45 :-)
ReplyDeleteWhile watching High Fidelity, you hit the pause button repeatedly to see how many albums you recognize... and have.
ReplyDeleteSince you mentioned lyrics....

What a fantastic song, and I've now laughed out loud at the Stones verse 4 times in a row. The Brian Jones shoe line gets me every time
ReplyDeleteMr. Holsapple has kindly added the lyrics in the comment section of the YouTube page
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, especially the Stones verse and the repeated "Repeat When Necessary". (Am I that kind of guy because I have multiple copies of "Repeat When Necessary"?)
