Maybe someone can throw it in the Archives. Verse: G-F-C-G Chorus: F-C-Am-C-F-Am-Dm (a little tricky and quick, but correct I believe when the rhythm is done properly.) Middle: Bb-C x3 He's been articulated just wait and see. He crawled toward you from the depths of the sea. He's a lobster man, lobster man yeah! He's 7 inches from his head to his tail. Now how could this guy ever possibly fail? One night I saw him and to my surprise, you had your tongue around his beady black eyes! He's a lobster man, lobster man yeah! Now Mrs. Peterson rolled up both her sleeves. She said that Adam was the best thing since Eve. "Oh, I've tried both of them" the lobster man said. "They rip your tail off while they're giving you head!" I'm a lobster man, lobster man yeah! Have you ever been anywhere? x3 Now Arnold Schwartzenager called up my mom. He said "Dear lady do you think that I'm dumb?" "Not really, Arnold dear." my mother replied "You're strong and silent, but I wish you were fried! Like a lobster man, lobster man yeah!" Now everybody in the hemisphere prays. The world will get through these precarious days. But if it doesn't well, the sea has it's urge, from which a brand new kind of life will emerge! It's the lobster man. It's the lobster man yeah! Classic early 90's Hitchcock. Great stuff. My friend calls it "great, but damned insane!"

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the only movie i can think of with no opening credits. (in fact, unless i missed it, the title isn't listed onscreen at all until the very end of the closing credit roll.) the movie lives up to its hype, in my opinion (and i'm not a big fan of the genre). _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 14:11:04 -0500 From: "brian nupp" Subject: The Power of Love Since the list's a bit slow these days, I'll tell ya this (but I'd tell ya anyway!): I finally got myself a copy of Captain Sensibles 2nd album, "the Power of Love." Yeah! Of course, the record features our hero Mr. Robyn Hitchcock. It seems he co-wrote 4 songs, sang backing vocals on 3 tracks, and added electric guitar to 2 tracks. Also there are about 4 nice photos of Robyn in a tux on the record sleeve. If that isn't good enough, the Captain also covers the early Pink Floyd song by Richard Wright: "It would be so nice." Well I can't wait to get home and spin this baby. I've been trying to get my hands on it for years! The record seems to be in excellent shape which is good 'cause I don't think it's available on CD. PEACE!

"Head" (starring the Monkees) is the one that springs to my mind. This could be the best thread since the whole "Skillet" thing...

New Line will also formally relaunch its official Rings Web site on the same day and update it monthly. Principal photography on the three Rings films is scheduled to wrap before Christmas. The first film, The Fellowship of the Ring, is slated to open Dec. 19, 2001. The films, directed by Peter Jackson, are based on the three novels of the same name by J.R.R. Tolkien. - -------------------------- I've less than zero interest in Thirteen Days, but there you go. Maybe they'll put the new trailer on the web site. - - Steve ___________ Hey, hey, hey.

Apparently the older ones required a fair amount of EQ work. Virgin will be releasing them in cardboard sleeves (to mimic the original vinyl) with all of the original artwork. Good luck reading the lyrics! All the "bonus" tracks that have been added in to the past CD releases will appear at the end rather than the middle (Halle-%#@*&$!-lujah). The reissue includes the Dukes CD but Andy's not sure about Explode Together or the Homo Safari series. The scheduled release date for the first few is late spring but there is no information about release order at this time. Not that Fuzzy Warbles and A Coat of Many Cupboards (which should have "Fireball" on it) will not be enough. There are plans to release an instrumental version of Apple Venus Volume One (though not through standard channels) and some low-fi stuff that wasn't "good enough" for Fuzzy Warbles (assemblage title unknown) as well as possibly some other product. So if you are the type of person that has to have EVERYTHING that is released with XTC's name on it, do the math and start saving! A Coat of Many Cupboards (4 discs?) Virgin Reissues (9+ discs) AVv1 Instrumental (1 disc) The Low-Fi discs (disc quantity unknown but probably at least 2) Fuzzy Warbles (possibly up to six discs!) - ----------------- - - Steve ___________ Hey, hey, hey.
