On That Note: Appetite For Music

Excerpt from the song, "Billy the Mountain" by The Mothers. One that might have rec'd extensive playing time at my house during the high school years.

[Billy and his wife Ethell have just embarked on a vacation]

"Ethell, wanna get a cuppa cawfee?"

"Howard Johnson's! Howard Johnson's!
Howard Johnson's! Howard Johnson's!"

"Ah! there's a Howard Johnson's! Wanna eat some clams?"

 
This might be my favorite Frank Black and the Catholics song.

I lost my favorite cook
He left Little Siam
For many years I looked
He said here I am, oh-oh
