Response to {#Arrowd}, Misterfixit.

It's a Motherf***er is indeed a good song.  Mr. E's Beautiful Blues, another fine tune from that album, was the theme song for my 2013 annual ski pilgrimage with long-term submarine buddies, since it contains the line "G**damn right it's a beautiful day".

Also true, though, the album/CD is question is Daises of the Galaxy, not Shootenanny!

PS:  Thanks to Bill and RP for introducing me to this disgusting, perverted attempt to corrupt children fabulously talented musician/group.  Bought a bunch of their music through the RP linky thingy.

FYI:  Hang on to it if you have one of these CDROM's .. They are going for big bucks in the eBay Presidential Memorbilia area and on the Failed Campaigns site.

 Austin - Today’s Washington Post reports that a compact disc clearly marketed towards children containing offensive language was handed out in a ‘gift bag’ at last month’s Democrat National Convention.  The report comes just ten days after Al Gore said he would take a “tough line” with Hollywood executives who market inappropriate material to children.

“America's parents can't count on Al Gore to protect their kids from Hollywood's inappropriate marketing practices," said Bush spokesman Dan Bartlett.  "If the Democrats didn't stop Dreamworks from handing out a CD with explicit lyrics at a convention under their control, why will they stop Hollywood from marketing the same material to children at other venues?"

Offensive CD Distributed at DNC Fundraiser
During a fundraiser at the Democrat National Convention, a compact disc, “Daisies of the Galaxy,” by Eels was handed out.  Democrats say the CD was not meant for or given to children, but the material was directly marketed for children.  The CD features cartoon children on the front cover, but contains songs such as “It’s a MotherF@#%&#” and lyrics like, “When I grow up, I’ll be an angry little whore.”

CD Produced by Gore’s Prominent Fundraiser Friends
The “Daisies of the Galaxy” CD was produced by Dreamworks, which is run by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen - three of Al Gore’s most identifiable contributors.  In this election cycle alone, the trio has contributed a total of $525,000 to the Democrat National Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

'Kinell! An Eels song with a bit of life and zip. Makes a nice change from the usual lullabies. 7 from the surprised Nottingham jury.

Yup its Saturday morning 6:06 and Eels is singing "It's saturday morning And who's gonna play with me". I am rocking to this great tune. The lyrics don't match my situation with young kids sleeping instead of the parents. I'll have to listen to this song and more of Eels work as this was great.

It's 9:00 in the morning on Saturday here, but I think where Bill is it's 6:00 AM, just like the song says.  Coincidence?

This is officially the Eels' third-best song (after Fresh Feeling and Woman Driving/Man Sleeping).

The rhythm guitar sounds a lot similar to the Hives' "Hate to say I told you so".

This song just rocks. The only thing I would change would be to get some ladies to sing the falsetto part. E can't quite hit the high notes.
