Even with Leo's croaking, I love this song.

A dog.

At least it is original, I think. He probably pinched it like he does everything else.

Not my cup of tea.

I find it interesting that Margo Timmons and Lyle Lovett are credited with the backing vocals on this album.

I was such a Kottke fan in the 70s. I'm having a little trouble with this phase of his.

cheap version of Lou Reed

This is awesome! I f*cking HATE yappy dogs!!!

As someone who has just arrived at work and has yet to have coffee I can say definitively that the last thing I want to hear is someone singing about their dog.

This was recorded in 1991, so I think if anything it would be the other way around

Sometimes he reminds me of Lou Reed.

The guitar playing and singing is good (as always with LK) but I don't care for the lyrics. Lame.

Damn, I missed Pepe Gotta love that Leo and his stories...

So in a dream he advanced, he'd break that woman's arm
Her ulna did not stand a chance, but the dog would be the first thing he'd harm
He hung it outside on a power line and laughed as it emitted sparks
But when he regained his consciousness the first thing he heard was a bark
He said

Pepe hush, don't make so much noise
Pepe hush, don't make so much noise

You guys really like this? Great to have people with different musical tastes in RP,...

Great programming choice. For some reason this quirky song has always been my favorite from this record although there's so much other great music on the album. Love Margot's backing vocals, an excellent use of her talents...

leo, leo, anything leo. quirky perky song, just what the doctor ordered. and as someone said a little further down....death to rat dogs.

Yippieeeeeeeeee :D/

Anyone else hear BECK in here???

More Leo Kottke. How about "Jack Gets Up"?

I like story songs

This song is great. So is Leo. 10.

The music sounds so mysterious... almost ominous. And yet the lyrics are about a barking dog.

This one is a head scratcher for me. It's a good song, but there is SO much more Leo Kottke music out there that is much better. Take "Stealing", for instance, or "Jack Fig".

Kottke's singing voice has aged well...like wine. This one doesn't sound the the old "geese farts on a muggy day" rasp he used to have.

love the irony that one of the quietest voices in music, Margo Timmins, is singing what "our hero" hears as shouting. (and of course the guitar is nice, too.) great song!
