"Why" Rocks! I've played it on my radio show several times. First time I heard it I thought, "That's where the Butthole Surfers got their sound!"
Heh. I wouldn't be surprised if I heard "Why" on your show. I KNOW I heard it on MBR (that's the station, right?) when I heard it the first time, and it grabbed me by the throat and slammed me around my cubicle (back when I could listen to music at my desk - one of the few things I miss about that job). I wouldn't say it's worth price of the whole album for anyone else necessarily, but it was worth it for me.

Yep. It was probably me. I don't know anyone else who's played it. Neat!
Hey Jon - did you ever find the Freezepop song "Melonball Bounce" at MBR?
No! We didn't get it. Grrrrr!
OK. I think I'll try to grab it from the mp3 stream then.
My favorite post-Beatles John Lennon song wasn't actually recorded by John Lennon. (The song is NSFW).
Scola, thanks for that link. That MP3 was awesome, and it was good to hear it again. I used to have that entire National Lampoon album, and I miss it frequently.
"Turn left at Iceland!"
I love the Beatles. They're B's favourite band now, too, and it's been wonderful watching him discover them. He started with the Red Album, and asked for the Blue Album for his fifth birthday. Sometimes we have to pretend to be the Beatles, and strum our imaginary guitars or drum - he's either Paul or Ringo - and (after I showed him some clips on YouTube) bow neatly at the end.
My first year university roommate was *obsessed* with the beatles. She was a girl who lived like it was 1969. Bless her. Her eventual husband? Grew a mop top just for her.
That kind of maxed out the Beatles for me in this lifetime.
