the first martin mull album!
the one with loser's samba on it--an all-time favorite. when i was in graduate school, i had a custom of putting that on during parties, when everyone was trashed. i still remember a verse from it:
o wow how did i get so strung out
there was a time i was young and hung out
never was a party where you didn't find marty on a friday night
saturday night
and now my stomach measures a mile
it takes a bottle just to make me smile
and my friends are saying jesus christ he's such a bore
he don't take dope or even talk about the war
he just sits at home and drinks another little drink
if i drink enough then i'll feel ok.
and once more
i'll wake up in the morning feeling sore
o so sore
because the bag i'm in is just a package from the package store.
that AND margie the midget AND living above my station.
great record.
