Ha Ha already rated Sucko Barfo. This is definitely irritating as hell. And catchy. Well played, Bill.

From Wikipedia...
 It was formerly listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest street in the world
 Still, cool song. Where is K-Os now?

And it's not that flattering about Toronto. IIRC, K-Os wrote it about the local arts community dragging people down the way crabs in a bucket pull other crabs down as they attempt to crawl over each other to escape.

doods: y'all need to chill on the Love Cats comments. You're aware that the Cure didn't invent that riff, right? You're aware that it's a jazz "walking bassline" riff, and it's been used in dozens of songs, right? Hit the Road, Jack; Hitchin A Ride; Stray Cat Strut - and that's just off the top of my head. And you're aware that Robert Smiths "solid gone" line is a reference to a Louis Prima line from I Wanna be Like you, from Jungle Book, right? So if the Cure can pay homage, so can K-Os.

As a few mentioned earlier this song builds a rod for it's own back by starting like that and not being Love Cats.

For years growing up I was highly allergic to sea food.  The idea of something I was allergic to chasing me around the restaurant is frightening.  

Also, the tree-hugging bleeding heart liberal in me says that cooking crab and lobster is cruel.  The idea of dropping a living thing in boiling water speaks only of torture, not of cuisine.  However, anything dipped in lemon butter sauce is going to be tasty and if I could eat it, I have no doubt that any moral objections would be quickly overcome by the happiness and security that comes with being on top of the food chain.

Of course, I come from an area that used to be full of dairy and beef farms where the motto has always been "carve off what you want, and ride the rest home!"  And people wonder why I moved.

....I was going to say - I sure hope The Cure are listed in the liner notes - a blatant rip off.....  I can surely do without this song.

Very catchy song. I find it very entertaining. It rate it an 8, which appears to be a bit higher than average. Not every song has to be deep and meaningful..

Putumayo is a department in Colombia along the northern Ecuador border.  It means gushing water in Quechua.  The area has been known for coca leaf growing, for arms trafficking and for the pasta trade.  It continues to host violent and deadly confrontations between the Colombian security forces and the neo-marxist thugs known as FARC.

How many crabs are there in Toronto?  Unless, of course, he is walking down another Yonge St.?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for songs about crabs but...First time I heard this I kinda liked it.  Second time not so much. Karma might be wrong today though.

Oh yeah, crabbing off of the north Oregon coast - trying to get the crabs out of the crabpot and into the bucket without losing any of your important parts. . . 

. . . and of course drawn butter. . .

"Not really RP like"  You're kidding, right?  This is exactly what RP is all about.  As a matter of fact I think anything can be on RP and it would be "RP like".   Just my opinion.

Bumped to 8. Dunno - something about this beat and the SNZ-like vibe... (Um, I have a song called "Crablouse," but I doubt it would work in a set with "Crab" as the subject...) {#Lol}
