Fear No Funny

Rebate, bait your hook, hook the fish, fish the lake.
Read a map, map the trail, spare me all the details.

You get the point. Olde Foz’s old friend ϑ (Steve Revare) wrote this fascinating couplet some years ago, and included it Bobby and the Chuxx’s Ramblin Man Revisited (Lunchmeat of the Gods, 1983), the sequel to the classic Ramblin Man Song (Bobby’s Back, 1983). That Steve’s old man talking rap is not included in most accounts of the early years of the Hip Hop movement is simply an indication of the short sightedness of the drug-addled world of music journalism. Taken together, Ramblin Man Song and Ramblin Man Revisited are two of the finest works in the Chuxxian Canon.

Don’t be surprised if you see FtH take on one or the other of Steve’s great nonsense talk songs. Nonsense is one of the finest forms of comedy, and Your Pals in FtH fear no funny.

Tomorrow the band will come together again at Cole’s to begin arranging the next recording. It’s June, and as I said the other day, that means the Christmas songs need work.

In the meantime, keep buying up those songs off the Gin-Soaked Yankee page. This is the best way to enjoy Foz the Hook, and have the great pride that comes with giving us some money.
