RECORD COVER GIRL kicks off this CD with a '60 type style song with some cute lyrics and will surely give you a laugh. The vocals, alone, will have you thinking? What is this? The melody is super cool throughout the cool. Check it out.
MOCK STONER VOICES, the title of this song should tell you enough about this song. I must admit, if you don't laugh when you hear this song, you're not right? The chorus is the best ever.
DREAMING ABOUT SLEEPING is an off beat song which is great as the best could throw you off a bit. Once you get into the groove of the song, you'll get it. Check out those lyrics.
STRING LIGHTS AND HOLD ON has a bit of a rock like feel with a dose of the '60 psychedelic bands in the melody and lyrics. This song is so groovy, man! I love it.
THE QUEEN IS DEAD is a short song with lyrics that will make you laugh. I love the vocals in the song. So, so sweet. SHAKE YOUR DRESS has '60's love song melody to it as the lyrics are easy to follow.
Turn the lights down low and dance. This song is quite a gem as all other songs on this CD. I love it and they will grow on you fast. I must admit, DR. DEMENTO would love this album! This band really stands out on their own.
