Eat Egg

Eat Egg appeared on the 2007 Bobby and the Chuxx release Mr. Poorluck Buys Some China.

This fact on its own is less compelling than the story of how Eat Egg played out at Foz the Hook's headliner last night at Cole's.

Sometime during the first set a woman, who shall be known henceforth as "Egg Lady" joined the somewhat sparse audience, and seemed to be enjoying the show. She periodically called out her wish to permitted to play guitar. This we did not permit, but otherwise expressed appreciation for Egg Lady's enthusiasm.

After we finished playing Mother Russia, Egg Lady called out a generous offer to give us and egg. Foz readily accepted the gratuity, which was delivered to the stage with the suggestion that I "throw it." Egg Lady did not expound on the "wheres" or "whys" of the suggestion, only assuring us that I should throw the egg. NOTE: If you had not already figured this out, Egg Lady brought a carton of eggs to the show. If you need to know why, prepare for disappointment. Anyway, sensing an opportunity for comedy, Foz quickly called for Eat Egg, and the band ripped right into it. The result was a fine rendition of the song, probably the best we'd ever done. I thought that Egg Lady wild find it hilarious that the band to which she offered and egg, actually had a song called Eat Egg that they could play on demand. Now it was my turn to be disappointed. Only the band found this amusing.

Then Egg Lady demanded that we play With Drunk Astronauts, a song she missed during the first set. Since she represented a significant fraction of the total audience, we consented to re-produce the song.

Later, after the show was over (even after Dan went home), two pool-players noticed the flyer hanging on the wall, and told Cole they were sorry they missed the show, because it looked fun. Cole mentioned that Foz and Patrick were still there, and they prevailed upon us for an encore, demanding our "funniest song." Given the great amount of practice we had, the chice was made to play With Drunk Astronauts again. And so we did.

This morning, on the Facebooks, I stumbled upon the greatest random egg link ever. Why did I only see this today? Is that just the way the world works? Watch this now http://www.iloveegg.co.uk/newsite/eggsong_popup.htm .

By the way, the rest of the show was great. Just great.

FtH will play at Cole's again tomorrow night as the warm up act for Cole's Comedy open mic. Come on out. We'll play Eat Egg!
