Big Audio Dynamite - Dial A Hitman

From "No. 10, Upping St."

Lyrics:

She`s bugging me again
Run to use the phone
Find and rent a hitman
From the twilight zone

It was good in the beginning
But wifes become a drag
Found me a solution
In Adventure Mag

Five grand as downpayment
It`s just a call away
Cheaper than some legal fee
And they do the job today

So if you got a problem
Pick up the telephone
For the guns and glory cowboys
From the twilight zone
At the Continental Club
There`s no extras for strip tease
We`re the gang that
Couldn`t shoot straight
But we aim to please

Viet vets and drifters
Shell shocked from the hill
At the Continental
Doc Savage pays the bill

Yah soldiers of fortune
But we`re not mental giants
But mister I must tell you
Neither are our clients

So if you got a problem
Pick up the telephone
For the guns and glory cowboys
From the twilight zone
At the Continental Club
There`s no extras for strip tease
We`re the gang that
Couldn`t shoot straight
But we aim to please

Did a job in Georgia
Money in advance
Fingers through the post
With a chilling nonchalanche

Seen some civil war now
For the cash we took their lives
Back here on the homestead
Rich on peoples wives

We`re eighties bounty hunters
With comical ineptitude
Modern cowboy cadres
Guns and glory dudes

So if you got a problem
Pick up the telephone
For the guns and glory cowboys
From the twilight zone
At the Continental Club
There`s no extras for strip tease
We`re the gang that
Couldn`t shoot straight
But we aim to please

I wonder if by Doc Savage he meant Michael Savage?

[madriot1977]

As far as I know he means any "macho, gold-skinned mercenary from comics, pulp novels, etc" ... I dunno whether this is a description for Michael Savage....

[bearzinVT]

reminds me of 87 or was it 88

[madriot1977]

It was '86 :)

@bigdada5o1 'Doc Savage' was a film - saw it in the 70's. A sort of camp James Bond/superhero flick. Assume it's a comic book character too.

Not B, you fool! It was C! C! 42 C!
