  Sometime it just all comes together...

Fact: The Swirling Eddies list Ruth Buzzi as a source of inspiration on Spittle & Phlegm.

Fact: She is also cited as a major influence on the band on the band's MySpace page and elsewhere.

Fact: The Swirling Eddies' alter ego, Daniel Amos, covered the song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" on their strange Eddies-like Songs of the Heart.

Amazing Fact That Will Blow Your Mind: Ruth Buzzi covered Can't Take My Eyes Off You on the Muppet Show.

Coincidence? I think not!!!

Which just goes to show; What other strange influences lie hidden in the past of this remarkable band? Only history will tell-----or obscure.







(If you search "muppet show ruth buzzi" on youtube, you'll find it)

Now all we need to do is sync that Muppet episode to Let's Spin or Outdoor Elvis!

I was listening to Sacred Cows lately since I converted it to MP3 from cassette (and had only listened to it a few times before since getting it). I kinda like it in a strange way. I also think it would have been even better if they had given the songs more of a "Weird Al" satire treatment, rewriting the lyrics in addition to some of the satirical sounds.

Funny just may be in the ears of the listener. Call me a rhinoceros, but I thought this was a serious sort of thang. Co-inkydinks laden and quite a mouthful to boot your computer just to read this or someone like him. But, (and that's a big butt too) I digest. Mary Pickford and a Happy Hooligan to yuz all!

By the way, Joey, what's with the girl with the grape jelly all over her hand?

Soooo...it's not grape jelly nor blueberry compote, Hershey's chocolate syrup, or the residue from changing oil in a 1986 Isuzu.

Seriously, I think I've actually seen the movie, just don't remember much about it. The synopsis sounded familiar anyway. No worries.
