WEEK 71: Grandaddy Eyepatch (Live 2002)


It's freak show month at MP3 Of The Week!

Here is another bizarre oddball relic from my musical past. A song called "Grandaddy Eyepatch," written by myself and Dave Fox.

One week in 2002 we went to visit our friend Matt in New Paltz, and he let us open for his band. I brought my giant keyboard, Dave brought his electric guitar, and we rehearsed 3 or 4 weird songs that we had never planned on playing live. This is what happened. Dave plays a pretty rocking guitar solo.

This MP3 is ripped from an old video camera recording, so it is TERRIBLE audio quality. Here is a transcription of what you are about to hear. This makes me laugh.

Dave: This is another one...about um...(mic goes dead)...Did I just turn this off?

Me: YOU DON'T NEED IT!

Dave: CHECK. Yeah I did. (mic goes dead again.) Oh god.

Matt: SQUEEZE IT FROM THE BOTTOM

Dave: SHUT UP.

Matt: Alright.

Dave: I'LL SQUEEZE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM.

Audience: OHHH WOOO

Song Starts

Dave: I ain't no basket of sunshine
I ain't no bucket of rain
I got a refrigerator full of body parts
And that includes...your brain!
Let's go!

I ain't no basket of sunshine
I ain't no bucket of rain
Refrigerator. With body parts.
That includes your brain.

Alright that's enough of that. That's just a dumb song we wrote.

I love how quickly we bail on ourselves. "All right, that's enough of that."
