a majorly fun song, to be sure, but (imho) it doesn't bear close scrutiny.

"I'm gonna pack my Pa, I'm gonna pack my aunt.
I'm gonna take 'em down to the Cadillac Ranch."

Agreed, undoubtedly the best #49 song ever, edging out The La's "There She Goes".

VHM Split Enz.  My friend Steve (who Gaz met in Seattle) had the laser etched special edition of this LP.

Thanks for making me look prescient Bob!

Never heard this version before.  I assume this is Manfred Mann going for a hat trick on his coattails?
