Jarlaxle 56 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Yeah, seen that before. Pretty fucked up song in my opinion. Quote
TypeO Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 One of my favorite songs from the 70's scorching guitar licks - killer jam Quote
the queen without a king Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 It's a weird song..I kinda like it but it kinda gets on my nerves at the same time. They have another song called 'Sylvia' which I really like...at least I think that's by Focus. Quote
Rock Action Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I'd rather nail my head to the coffee table while boiling my nuts in hot oil than listen to that shit. Quote
jimmie ray Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I'll take yodeling and popeye impersonations, when coupled with good jamming, over meaningful lyrics with uninspiring instrumentals, anytime! Quote
Aspensound Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I'd rather nail my head to the coffee table while boiling my nuts in hot oil than listen to that shit. OUCH..... and yodeling.. Quote
The Pagemeister Posted March 26, 2008 Author Posted March 26, 2008 I'd rather nail my head to the coffee table while boiling my nuts in hot oil than listen to that shit. What about nailing your nuts to the table and boiling your head? Quote
Wesley Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Focus were a fine progrock band and that Jan Akkerman's an excellent guitarist. If you're unconvinced by the song, Hocus Pocus, listen to their BBC show of January 7, 1973. They're right in there with the best of that era's progressive rock bands. Quote
Rock Action Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 What about nailing your nuts to the table and boiling your head? As long as I don't have to listen to this song ever again I'll work with you. Sorry fans. This is just one of those songs that turns my stomach AND the radio station the minute it comes on. But hey, obviously there are people out there that do enjoy it. Whatever floats yer boat. Quote
Styrbjorn Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I'd rather nail my head to the coffee table while boiling my nuts in hot oil than listen to that shit. I feel the same way about the Zeppelin 1977 and 1980 tours. We have something in common. Quote
TRB Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 It lightens the mood for me whenever it comes on, though that isn't that often. I just like to yodel and screech along for shits. Good instrumental play. Quote
JethroTull Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 As long as I don't have to listen to this song ever again I'll work with you. Sorry fans. This is just one of those songs that turns my stomach AND the radio station the minute it comes on. But hey, obviously there are people out there that do enjoy it. Whatever floats yer boat. I totally see your point. I enjoy listening to it, but always thought of the song as a bit of a gimmick (novelty??) and that probably stopped me from exploring any further. Quote
