The Peak, 12/21/09: 1977

[RGMike]

We gonna suck on a chili dog!  Garland Jeffreys, BOS "Spanish Town". Sorry I missed the Jam's "The Modern World" and -- OMGWTFLOL -- Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "A Real Mutha Fo' ya".

DAMN! I missed Christopher Guest/Bill Murray/Nat'l Lampoon's "Mr Rogers" spoof. Whould ya like to go to the magic kingdom?

We gonna suck on a chili dog! 

I confess my ignorance. What's the ref here? I know that line only as part of the first line of "Jack and Diane," which is certainly much later than '77.

But that does sound like a pretty fabulous and far-reaching set. Too bad the Peak sets just don't jive with my schedule.

it's also a line from the Jeffreys tune.

Oh signorita
When the evening sun go down
I come to serenade you
From another part of town.

Rafaella is my mother's name.
She loves her Juan Jose
My mother is a matriarch
Oh what more can I say
Together they raised three children
Mario Carmen and Ray
They live near de Janeiro
on Mona da Vinci Bay

I'm gonna eat my rice and beans
I'm gonna suck on a chili dog
Way down in Spanish Town
In the Spanish fog...
