From The Serpent Is Rising album, assisted by The Plexiglass Toilet Choir.
This is the story I have been told about this song which came from Chuck Panozzo. It was written by John P AND John C. The only members from Styx on the song are the 2 Johns and Chuck. Dennis and JY wanted nothing to do with the song. They dont appear on it anywhere. Chuck said it was a big FUCK YOU to Dennis who, at the time was writing artsy-fartsy, Emerson, Lake & Palmer crap.

A boy of 5 stands close to the toilet
Holds the lid up with one hand
Won't let go the lid for fear that
On his banana it will land.
Amazing.

Personally, I like the "artsy fartsy" progressive rock sound that Dennis brought to Styx. What I don't like is the "mamsy, pansy" sound that Dennis brought when he wrote "Babe" and "First Time".

Weird Wild Stuff !!!
-
some of you may get a laugh out of this track but it sadly disrupts the flow of this album...which grooves along quite nicely otherwise.
-
For those whining about Dennis being "artsy fartsy", if it wasn't for him there would be no Styx to remember.
Yes I said "remember" because Styx without DY is like a submarine without a hatch, it just doesn't work!

@Funsho97 I'm so, so sorry...
-
@JorealConners It is not listed. It is at the end of side 2. You have to wait for it. I grew up with this, and knew them in person.
-
This was actually one of the first songs by Styx that I ever heard!!!
-
If you remember Dr. Demento, he used to play this on his radio program. I knew of this song because I bought all five Styx albums which existed at the time I first heard "Lady."

I am holding my copy of "The Serpent is Rising" by Styx in my hand, and nowhere can I see this as a song. Witch Wolf, The Grove of Eglantine, Young Man, As Bad as This, Winner Take All, 22 Years... nothing on a plexiglass toilet anywhere. I'm gonna listen to this in it's entirety and report back later.

@JorealConners Have you found it yet? Try listening to As Bad As This all the way through. Check out the credits on the album sleeve to "all our friends in the Plexiglass Toilet choir", just beneath Arnold Goodman as well. :-)

The song isn't listed on the album. The only reference to it is a thank you to the Plexiglass Toilet Choir in the sleeve notes. I don't have the CD, but the song follows on from "As Bad As This" at the end of side 1 on the vinyl LP.
