I think we might have a brilliant mix tape in the works...if there are any more songs about lady bikers. But if you take the lady part out and just include quirky songs about bikers, you could add that Arlo Guthrie song in which he rhymes motor-sickle with pickle, and of course, Fountains of Wayne's brilliant "Leave the Biker."Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378528518778247285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-71074775864305143472009-05-18T10:32:00.000-04:002009-05-18T10:32:00.000-04:00Is that a surrealist Ocean Beach in SF, Cliff Hous...Is that a surrealist Ocean Beach in SF, Cliff House in the background? Never saw that cover before, but I like it.<br /><br />Those are some great lyrics. Certainly reminiscent - to me, anyway - of Al Anderson's song "Macho Maria":<br /><br />Ahhh Macho, Macho, Macho Maria<br />Oh, maybe someone’s right for her<br />But mainly on the whole<br />I wouldn’t touch her with a ten-foot pole<br /><br />She works in a gas station<br />Rides a Harley-Davidson<br />She’s been on probation all year long<br />Her two front teeth are missin’<br />What has she been kissin’<br />When she comes around I will be gone<br /><br />In her mouth a cigarette<br />A big tattoo says "No Regrets"<br />She’s never seen without a can of beer<br />She don’t take no lip from you<br />You best know who you’re talkin’ to<br />Dungarees and motorcycle gear<br /><br />Beneath that hard exterior<br />I’m sure a warm heart beats in her<br />In school she had the cutest little curls<br />But I’m afraid it’s much too late<br />Close the door and shut the gate<br />The image is much bigger than the girl<br /><br />Ahhh Macho, Macho, Macho Maria<br />Oh, maybe someone’s right for her<br />But mainly on the whole<br />I wouldn’t touch her with a ten-foot poleNoam Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078219408896745687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-30178450725019565592009-05-18T09:29:00.000-04:002009-05-18T09:29:00.000-04:00I don't remember the song but I do remember the al...I don't remember the song but I do remember the albunm cover. Should have added that one to the listomania about it. And I understand why you liked them. I liked that band too.
