Amazing band. Saw them back in the day in Boston. The air conditioning broke down yet they played on while I regretably had to leave due to impending heat exhaustion. Real professionals. Truly amazing.
I bought this album when it was fresh out, and I LOVED this song! There were no lyrics or liner notes, but I knew the words, OK? I assigned people to certain names. Mercedes and Joan HAD to be about Mercedes McCambridge and Joan Crawford since they were both in a camp classic movie, right?
I swear to god I thought part of the lyrics were "you heckle and you vomit." For YEARS I'd be singing along and that's what I sang. It's "Hazel and Mavis" (MAH-vis) apparently. Oops! Oh Well. Cheers!
@MrFamulaw They stand out above other groups from a point of view of harmonic singing (although some people will now shout "Abba!!") but they weren't the most technically superior, but you're right, that really doesn't matter. Ricky Wilson did have an unconventional tuning pattern for his guitar, that's what makes it sound different. Will stop waffling now and go back under my rock.
i always thought they were saying "united state state stateeeeyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

There isn't even any base in this song. It's just a guy on guitar, drums and singing. You have to hand it to these guys.

Nobody has ever accused them of being musical geniuses, but this is alright by me.
