Stan's Spastic jerks made me get into Wall of Voodoo almost instantaneous. I saw them at the Roxy and Whiskey at least 6 times! Dark Continent was my favorite album.

My Dad went to see Stan Ridgeway in concert and Stan was going around the audience with a tray of carrots and dip and when he got near my dad, he shouted "Hi Stan!" and he replied with "Hello guy, would you like a carrot?"

The intro to this video reminded me of that.

One of the best bands iever saw in Hollywood in the early 80s

@carpenoctem66 Back in 2004, when i was only 12 years old, my dad and i went to Chicago to see him at Schuba's. Little did we know he was STAYING IN THE SAME HOTEL AS US!!! i ran into him in the lobby, and when i first saw him i almost forgot to breathe... then i was like woah are you stan? and hes like yes who might you be? i told him my name and that i was a big, big fan. he then proceeded to offer me a cheeto from the bag he was carrying. this guy loves to share his food!!!

(lyrics continued: the final one) An average joe from the grand design He breaks his back for big talk He pulls up, he pulls down He's the one over at the lever that puts the lids on the jars Woah-oh, replace all parts with long arm Woah-oh, this business needs a strong arm Woah-oh, replace all parts with long arm Woah-oh, this business needs a strong arm Woah-oh, replace all parts with long arm Woah-oh, this business needs a strong arm It's big talk

[marehtseira]

(lyrics continued)

Chorus:

Big talk (start to fall in line)

Big talk (I was watching you)

Big talk (when efficiency is cut)

Big talk (better buy more glue)

(repeat once)

[marehtseira]

(lyrics continued) Chorus: Big talk Big talk Big talk Big talk Mr. Simpson says this business needs a strong arm Some new part to clear out all the deadwood So be sure and install that new long arm by next week 'Cause that short arm over there is through Woah-oh, replace all parts with long arm Woah-oh, this business needs a strong arm It's big talk

Lyrics to this song:

Wanted:

Strong and able-bodied worker

Minimum wage

Fifty-eight hour week

An average joe from the grand design

He breaks his back for big talk

He pulls up, he pulls down

He's the one over at the lever that puts the lids on the jars
