  • Wow! This is such a simple song with only drum instrumentation but the girls carry it off. The reference to the Shaggs is ridiculous. Very nice.

  • @johnnyaa Yes I agree with you.Thank you and drop by anytime... :)

  • There is absolutely nothing improvised, a cappella, or reminiscent of the Shaggs about this recording. What misinformed statements.

  • @onlinemonikers I do not like to comment on other artist, but I have heard The Shaggs and they do not know how to sing or carry a tune, but neither do I.This is only my opinon.The performance of a group and how it is recieived is all up to the listner.The Murmaids were an excellent girl group, and even though they had only one big hit "Popsicles And Icicles" , it will long be remembered.Thank you

  • "Popsicles and Icicles" was and still is a favorite.

    The b-side of "Comedy and Tragedy" was a bonus when I bought the 45.

    It may have a simple sound but there is something about it that is very catchy.

  • @mysterxyz Yes it does have that.I like it because it has that natural and unrehearsed (possibly improvised) feel to it.I'm glad that you enjoyed it.Thank you for dropping in... :)

see all

  • I like the Shaggs and the Murmaids, however the Murmaids were infinitely more polished. This track was co-written and produced by Mr. Kim Fowley, who discovered Joan Jett and managed The Runaways.

  • Some terrifically bitter lines in the lyrics.

  • enjoying this very much.. thank you

  • @jejune14 Well it sounds to me like an improvised session,but I like it because it lets you in on what it is like to be at the studio while they practice a song before it gets that polished finished sound.Drop by anytime.
