Taken from the album "Wow" 1968
Video excerpts from the movie "Born Losers" 1967

There she sits a-smokin'
Reefer in her mouth
Her hair hanging northward
As she travels south
Dirty, on her Harley
(But her nails are clean)
Super-powered, de-flowered
Over-eighteen Irene

I've seen her in the bare
Where her tattoos and her chains
Wrap around her body
Where written are the names
Of prisons she's been in
And lovers she has seen
Curve-winding, bump 'n' grindin'
Motorcycle Irene

Ground around like hamburger
Layin' an a splat
'tis Irene, her sheen I seen
In pieces crumpled flat
Oh, the feet were in the bushes
Her toes were in her hat
Stark-raven, un-shaven
Motorcycle Irene

The Hunchback, the cripple
Horseman and the Fool
Prayer books and candles and
Carpet, cloaks and jewels
Knowing all the answers
But breakin' all the rules
The stark-naked, un-sacred
Motorcycle Irene

  • wow thanks, my favorite moby grape and the video is great

  • I still have my Moby Grape poster.

    They played for free in Golden Gate Park on weekends

    Irene was always a high,

    MOO

  • great!

  • Too freakin' funny back from the hippie days where I used to live.

  • @mariahart I have the LP

  • Came across this by accident, but really enjoyed the use of Born Losers for the video. Perfectly timed to end at the iconic image used in the movie poster. The other scenes of Billy Jack kicking the crap out of greasy bikers just wouldn't have the same ambience.

  • Sorry, but Born Losers is a good film. Low budget is best. Check out what Hollywood was cranking out at the same time. Now that's crap! Also, Born Losers shows you what a California beach town was like before we got invaded.

  • The movie was crap, but the chick is fine,

    She listens to Moby Grape all the time.

  • Definitely one of the best songs on Moby Grape's "Wow" album.

  • i have this movie soundtrack!  love it!
