Song Information:

This cosmic ditty is inspired by a recent listening experience I had. In 1979, I went to school in Santa Barbara with a fellow named Karl Precoda. He was in my scene design class and was notable because he was a cool guy and had a shaved head with a pony tail (as I remember, I had long hair down my back). I recall he played synthesizer in a Devo like band. In class, he designed a great set for "Waiting for Godot" with Vladimir and Estragon hitchhiking on an abandoned road with Burma Shave signs in the background. Just brillant I thought. Fast forward two years to 1981. Karl is the lead guitarist in a band called Dream Syndicate in LA. They are newest big deal and Karl is written up in Rolling Stone Magazine as the next Jimi Hendrix. I knew that Karl had just started playing guitar so kudos to him for the press and all! More video here:

Last week I googled Karl Precoda and u-tubed some of his stuff, pretty cool! I found out he is now a Phd in some new media discipline at a university back east. But he still makes music and I downloaded "Bridge of Smoke" from his record site - http://www.squealermusic.com/catalog/ldom.html It is a cool track and reminds me a bit of Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" (who some compared to Jimi Hendrix). Karl's new band is called "The Last Days of May". My track is inspired by Karl's work. I will always remember the Burma Shave signs in Karl's art.

So with several degrees of seperation I present "Burma Shave", another Hokey Pokey jamout. Many guitar tracks with the Rob Turner "Dirtyworks" Hagstrom **** through a crybaby and on to the Boss Vh-1 and Lexicon Vortex and then to the Line 6 echo pro with the micro cube effects. Two electric violins. It started with this great drum loop (ala John Bonham- ish).

Song Lyrics:

A little bit of Americana:
Cheer up face / The war is past / The h is out / Of shave / At last / Burma-Shave
A peach / looks good / with lots of fuzz / but man's no peach / and never was / Burma-Shave
Does your husband / misbehave / grunt and grumble / rant and rave? / shoot the brute some / Burma-Shave
Don't take a curve / at 60 per / we hate to lose / a customer / Burma-Shave
Every shaver / now can snore / six more minutes / than before / by using / Burma-Shave
He played / a sax / had no B.O. / but his whiskers scratched / so she let him go / Burma-Shave
Henry the Eighth / sure had trouble / short-term wives / long-term stubble / Burma-Shave
Grandpa's beard / was stiff and coarse / and that's what / caused his / fifth divorce / Burma-Shave
Missin' / kissin'? / Perhaps your thrush / can't get through / the underbrush — try / Burma-Shave
A chin / where barbed wire / bristles stand / is bound to be / a no ma'ams land / Burma-Shave
Within this vale / of toil and sin / your head grows bald / but not your chin / Burma-Shave
Dinah doesn't / treat him right / but if he'd / shave / dyna-mite! / Burma-Shave
To change that / shaving job / to joy / you gotta use / the real McCoy / Burma-Shave
Don't lose / your head / to gain a minute / you need your head / your brains are in it / Burma-Shave
The bearded Devil / is forced / to dwell / in the only place / where they don't sell / Burma-Shave
In Cupid's little / bag of trix / here's the one / that clix / with chix / Burma-Shave
A shave / that's real / no cuts to heal / a soothing / velvet after-feel / Burma-Shave
Riot at / drug store / calling all cars / 100 customers / 99 jars / Burma-Shave
The wolf / is shaved / so neat and trim / Red Riding Hood / is chasing him / Burma-Shave
This cooling shave / will never fail / to stamp / its user / first-class male / Burma-Shave
The monkey took / one look at Jim / and threw the peanuts / back at him / he needed / Burma-Shave
Listen birds / these signs cost money / so roost awhile / but don't get funny / Burma-Shave
If you don't know / whose signs these are / You haven't driven / very far (no final "Burma-Shave" sign)
Round the corner / lickety split / beautiful car / wasn't it! / Burma Shave
That big blue tube / is like Louise / it gives a thrill / with every squeeze / Burma-Shave
If harmony / is what you crave / get a tuba / Burma-Shave
Said Farmer Brown, / who's bald on top, / "Wish I could / rotate the crop." / Burma-Shave
I use it too / The bald man said / It keeps my face / Just like my head / Burma-Shave
