I like the way they make a guitar (or something else?) sound like a chicken.

That's Ben Ottewell—distinctive compelling voice.

"Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that."

I saw a Gomez concert once and three different members sang lead vocals.  They all sound quite a bit alike.  I like the guy singing on this tack best.

Great band live.  So dynamic, energetic and just plain loud.  This is my favorite album of theirs.

Ah, you too were kicked in the head...with iron boot? Of course so, there's actually two ZAZ references, Rex Kramer - Danger Seeker! (KF Movie) and Rex Kramer "flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle, just alot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes." (Airplane!)

Prickelpit96, that was probably the best reference in the history of Radio Paradise, but some of us here, particularly me would like to buy you a drink and shake your hand...

You're my people ;-)

Gomez has been my very best Radio Paradise discovery! We'd have never heard them on commercial radio in Lost Angeles. (but then again, I haven't listened to commercial radio in LA in years!)

There was a ping at the end, suggesting a fade-in segue to Pink Floyd's Echoes (the abridged version, please).

Awwwwsome

"This man needs to be taken to a hospital!"
"A hospital...what is it?"
"A big building with doctors and patients in, but that's not important right now"

They also have a song called Steve McCroski!

Fantastic band, although they seem to have lost their way after this album in my opinion...

The character name "Rex Kramer" appeared before the Zuckers'(and Abraham's) flick AIRPLANE. In 1977 they concocted KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE;one of the sketches featured a stuntman named......

I saw them play this summer and was taken with how much fun they were having. They really love what they do...also it's hilarious to listen to that big, gravelly voice come out of a skinny white boy :)
