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

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.

I don't get why he always listens to Lou Gramm.  I dig Foreigner as much as the next guy, but really.

They were absolutely amazing!  The percussionist they had (I woman) was incredible.  Good memories....
 
    I remember that percussionist too...completely surrounded by bongos, drums, bells, etc. She was great.

David Baerwald has (or used to have not long ago) a fairly active solo career....tours around a lot...I've seen him in Austin several times....he's the one with this GREAT voice!!!

Actually David Baerwald (the one in the foreground) released a few really good solo albums, and was a founding member of Sheryl Crow's 'Tuesday Night Music Club"—-although she appears to have stiffed them after she got big.

I saw these guys play at the old Bottom Line in Greenwich Village( a shame that it closed)....they were very good.

Cool. Haven't heard this in a long time. I had this on a cassette, amazing tunes. I can't find it anywhere! Another track on this, something about the war ... incredible. I need to find this.
EDIT: I was wrong. Baerwald released a solo after this ... Bedtime Stories. THAT was incredible. Can't find it. Must.
EDIT II: It's not on iTunes. Drat. Songs called "Stranger" and "All for You" from that album. Killer.

Nice to hear this great song.  Best one on the album IMHO.  I have it on vinyl, but no turntable right now.

I've seen it now and again in used bins.  If you really want it, that auction site is lousy with them, cheap.

WoW! I think this was a cassette-only tune, which means I haven't heard it for at least a decade; since the old van with the cassette player died. There was a brief time when I couldn't get enough of this song. Thanks for the memory RP!

Great to hear this one here... haven't heard it for years.  There were quite a few other very good songs on the album as well.  So much great music on vinyl, gone forever... (sigh)
