So some of the older members of the family had a DVD of these guys on tonight, and among all the crap one song caught my attention that I want to share. Thought it was pretty cool.

Also, your fella that starts gabbing at the beginning and the end is clearly out of his tits on the DVD.

Marilyn Manson did a pretty fun cover of one of their songs, believe it or not. Compare this to this. The original is apparently one of several songs of theirs that was written by Shel Silverstein.

These guys are awesome. They sing 2 of my all-time favorite songs — "I Got Stoned And I Missed It", which is just plain hilarious, and "Sylvia's Mother", which reminds me of my first girlfriend and makes me tear up every time I hear it — and many of their other songs are worth a listen or two as well.

They were buddies with ol’ Shel who wrote and co-wrote a lot of their early material. Sloppy Seconds (appropriately enough their second LP) contains nothing but Shel Silverstein songs.
