i heard this on the radio at work and couldn't believe they were playing something saying, "welcome to the poontang"! when i listened for context, i heard "we got plenty to go around" and "all that muff makes such a succulent sound". craziest song ever!

I just love this whole album. Haven't heard this in quite awhile - what a lovely jolt from the past! {#Music}

Ms. Christina drives a nine four four
Satisfaction oozes from her pores
She keeps rings on her fingers
Marble on her floor
Cocaine on her dresser
Bars on her doors
She keeps her back against the wall
She keeps her back against the wall

So I say
I say welcome, welcome to the boomtown
Pick a habit
We got plenty to go around
Welcome, welcome to the boomtown
All that money makes such a succulent sound
Welcome to the boomtown

Handsome Kevin got a little off track
Took a year off of college
And he never went back
Now he smokes too much
He's got a permanent hack
Deals dope out of Denny's
Keeps a table in the back
He always listens to the ground
Always listens to the ground

So I say
I say welcome, welcome to the boomtown
Pick a habit
We got plenty to go around
Welcome, welcome to the boomtown
All that money makes such a succulent sound
Welcome to the boomtown

Well the ambulance arrived too late
I guess she didn't want to wait

That is totally what I keep hearing. I was shocked, shocked I say! And then a little disappointed to learn the truth. . .

Wow, haven't heard this one in a long time — possibly not since the 80s. Kinda like it.

As someone familiar to boom towns, love the imagery. And David & David, but espec David Baerwald's work.
