about

Neither Little Fyodor nor I knew this song, but I had recorded it with Ed on the Dirt Clods tape, later released as "Johnny Rocco". It was apparently a favorite of Ed's friends, the 'Dirt Clods' crowd, with whom the first hints of WoG had ever manifested. They were in the audience and called for this tune, so Ed started it up. This is one of the very RARE instances of Ed's voice ever being heard on a Walls of Genius track. Fyodor and I simply picked up singing along with it as it went along. I must have asked Ed 'what key?" cause I'm playing harmonica with it. We didn't know where it came from, neither did Ed. All he knew was that he had been hearing it on Dr. Demento's radio program. We credited it as 'traditional', but it was actually written by the guys in a Omaha, Nebraska band called Ogden Edsl. The original liner notes indicate: "The audience clamored for this one--an old favorite from way back--a Sing-A-Long!"

Walls of Genius rips holes in the fabric of space and time, kicks you in the ass and leaves you smiling. 80s stalwarts of the cassette culture, they're back in the 21st century. The most unique band that ever was. Really! ... more
