[eletta88]

Poor Tim, forced to sing this shit. Poor Tim.

[NovaScotiaChick]

Novel. :)

[trojon1313]

I would like a peanut butter high, but on a stick or through a straw or something

[TrashcanBoogie]

one of my personal favorites, along with hong kong bar,mexicali voodoo, nighthawkin' buzzin' fly, sally go 'round... blah, blah...what exactly is the big issue? my mood governs my choice.any artist who is more than a one hit wonder evolves. ry cooder started with capt. beefheart, conway twitty started rockabilly,donald trump started democrat. so what?

[LoveforGia]

SORRY GUYS BUT YOUR ALL A BUNCH OF MORONS.. ITS - 'DROPS OF PERSPIRATION, GENTLY CRAWLING OVER ME' - I DONT WANNA SOUND RACIST BUT COME ON, YALL SOUND SO WHITE BREAD AND STOOPID.. YES THIS IS TIM.. HOW THICK ARE YALL?.. DOW DOW.. YOU ARE SO WRONG.. THIS WAS TIMS FUNKY WHITEBOY ( RNB B4 ITS TIME) STAGE.. cocacola and sweet potatoe, he talkin bout soul food urgh !! AND THIS IS THA FURTHEST THING FROM STARSAILER WHICH IS REALLY OUT THERE AND EXPERIMENTAL JAZZ SOUNDSCAPES.. BASICALLY JUST NOISE.

[TheXantheL]

I'm pretty sure the words are

"Drops of perspiration Jenny pourin' over me hey buddy

Pour another glass of cola, pass it to me

Rum and Coca Cola add some sweet potato to it, you know

Everybody wants to do the peanut butter hop"

[bonhoste]

Uh...oh yeah

[bonhoste]

Thats him alright.  From the 1973 album "Sefronia"

[ilooklikeppl]

hence the album cover lol

[chibinski]

sorry folks, i don't believe this is tim buckley. does anyone have any way of checking it out? certainly it is not listed in the complete works of tb lyrics.

[kevhead66]

i don't think he wrote it. he covered it and it is indeed him. i'm not a big fan of this or any of his later records

[Ezzafive]

That's how ya sing!!! You rule, Tim. And... now I'm an adult, I can see how HOT you are too!

[Ezzafive]

I was brought up to the soundtrack of Tim Buckley. Always loved this song and after reading "Dream Brother" recently, I found out he did all the vocals. What a talent. Being a singer myself, he's inspired to be more experimental. He sings so FREE!!!

[pr00de]

@Ezzafive man, if you like this, listen to "starsailor," especially the song "starsailor."

[TheXantheL]

@pr00de Thank pr00de. I'll check it out.

[TheXantheL]

@pr00de  Thank pr00de. I'll check it out.

[wipers86]

@pr00de that song starsailor is nothing like this you should have mentioned honey man at least it's a funky tune like this

[LoveforGia]

@Ezzafive WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT? dont spout shit like you know what your talking about..how could he be the soundtrack to ya life when your getting everything wrong ? all the vocals ? he had brilliant back up singers, like venetta fields, especially on his Funk influenced stuff and does A DUET WITH MARCIA WALDORF called martha ON THE VERY ALBUM YOUR TALKIN ABOUT !! starsailer was weird experimental jazz soundscapes and is nothing like, sefronia, look at the fool or greetings' so neck da fuck up

[mucaju1974]

rum and cocacola...yeah...c'mon

[mucaju1974]

rum and cocacola...yeah,,c'mon

[BloggStandard]

Did this come before or after "You put dee lime inda coconut an' drink 'em bode up"???

Both fun though. What a voice Tim!

[doorsdylan]

This song Is Sweet, I Should probably go out and buy this album.

[chrissycezan]

[ozkyles]

24 years off nonstop Tim for me....

[ikzitbijmsncom]

Great song! Tim's the man! Greetings from the Netherlands!

[headhead9]

this song rocks, come off it, so what if its not serious

[onoringo]

it looks like the lyrics are wrong :/

[ilooklikeppl]

are they? ii just copy and pasted them from a lyric site? were they wrong at?

[onoringo]

this is what i hear

1st line = "Drops of perspiration jelly

coming over me = "Pourin' over me hey buddy" round of coca cola = "Rum and coca cola"

hook = "You know everybody wants to do the peanut butter hop"

[ilooklikeppl]

guess thats what happins when ya trust the internet for lyrics.. sorry..

[blazeablunt4200]

@onoringo I think you're right.



[SitFoofoo]

Haha. What a crap song. But ace all the same. PASS IT TO ME!

[reelaroundfountain]

I completely agree, it's a RUBBISH song, but you can't help but love it! It gets my head bobbing and my foot tapping and I love it. When I first heard I thought he sang "I'm looking through you, yes I am, and I should do you Peanut man". I actually prefer that version lol. Me and my friend like to drive around with the windows down blaring it out and see the looks we get from people we pass. Gotta love a bit of Timmy!

[dreambrother80]

i'm a HUGE buckley fan, but this is definitely one of tim buckley's weakest compositions...fun, but weak...it feels like he put no serious time into writing/composing this track

[ilooklikeppl]

i shall agree but its a nice head bobber.. bubt its nice to see some more tim buckley fans out here!

[PunkCabaretDoll]

He sounded like he had fun singing this pop/rnb song. This is def one of his less depressing songs!

[ilooklikeppl]

i agree 100%

[elloawru]

i love this song it makes me feel happy when im down

[thevagrant88]
