Still not sure what it means to walk like a camel, but these guys make it sound like fun...

@bladerunner - Where are you from? I'm from Memphis, TN and I think this is "Most Excellent". Maybe it's a cultural thing.

I saw these guys at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass last year. They rocked out and put on a great show, go-go dancer and all.

I remember that in some select retail outlets they put a sticker on the cellophane to cover the image of the "used" condom.

I've see SCOTS two times live, and they are excellent.  They are goofing on southern culture which if you see how they dress you would understand - keyboardist in overalls, bass player with bouffant hairdo.  Great guitar work if you get a chance to see them.

This song is too funny....  Always reminds me of Sam Rockwell's character in "The Green Mile" — I guess it's the accent, and Moon Pies?

This is a good comparison.  The only difference is I'm pretty sure they are making fun of themselves and I'm not sure the B-52's ever did that.  They didn't take themselves too seriously (I don't see how they could with the kind of music they made) but Southern Culture on the Skids has a distinctly mocking tone to it.

Okay, if anyone has ever watched a camel walk, they'll notice that a camel will put both left feet down, then both right feet, instead of left-front-right-rear, right-front-left-rear.  The distribution of weight enables a camel to stay on top of the sand instead of sinking into it.  This also works for humans when they're walking on sand, except instead of walking heel-to-toe, if a person plants the entire foot on the sand with their weight evenly balanced, they're less likely to sink. (It's like wearing snowshoes.)

I have absolutely NO idea how this factoid applies to the song. {#Whistle}

I have this on my MP3 player, and it was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud while I was watering plants.  Glad there was no one in the nursery (and I checked, because one can never be to careful, with Big Brother watching.) 

I"m still trying to understand this band, but I'm also recognizing that it's probably impossible. I love them, no matter what.

Let us walk through this barren desert, in search of truth, and some pointy boots, and maybe a few snack crackers....

Genius!

Love it, but I am a big fan of old garage rock. Not everyone,s cup of tea.

I can't help it - I just LOVE this band!  They really are the "other B-52's from the wrong side of the tracks."  So much fun - short and sweet and shocking. By the time one of their songs is over, you catch yourself scratching your head and going, "Huh? Gotta listen to that one again, because I think I musta blacked out for a minute..." {#Roflol}

No "Cramps" on RP? Bill if this gets in, how about something from "A date with Elvis"?
