5-90... sig question:

[Glenn B]

The late great Warren Zevon is the answer: :gag:

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I'm drinking heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Straight from the bottle, twisted again
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Well, I take this medicine as prescribed
I'll sleep when I'm dead
It don't matter if I get a little tired
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I've got a .38 special up on the shelf
I'll sleep when I'm dead
If I start acting stupid
I'll shoot myself
I'll sleep when I'm dead

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Good job - yet another who's gotten it right...

I try to change it after the first correct guess, but I haven't had a chance to sit and come up with a new sig sufficiently obscure yet (not that I'd call Warren Zevon obscure - even if he was just a bit "odd"...)

Odd? Maybe. But some great stuff? Hell yess.

Oh - I never said I didn't like his work! I also enjoy a lot of Zappa's stuff (and if he's not "out there," I'm not sure what he is. And he was naturally like that!)

I also listened to a lot of Dr. Demento growing up, so that explains my musical tastes...

"odd" does not (or was not) meant to infer you did not like him. Just quoteing you, and yes, he is a tad odd, but damned good. Just like so many others.... I guess that is why some of us like them?

People say I am crazy when I say I like The Nails "88 Lines about 44 Women", REO Speedwagon's "157 Riverside Avenue" or Dire Straits "Telegraph Road." All from the same period, yet different genre's.

The Martian Boogie
Lyrics and Music by Brownsville Station

The other night I was
Walking down the street
I was getting kinda hungry
I decided to get me something to eat

Now I passed up all the chain
Franchise joints on Hamburger row
And stopped at a little greasy spoon place
I always eat at called Eat, Sit and Gulp

Get you one of the greasy hamburgers
All peppered up, lay you up in the
Hospital for about ten days

So I ordered me up a
Couple of those grease bombs
Waitress brought 'em over
Lifted up the bun, checked 'em out
Damn, no ketchup

So I nudged the guy sitting next to me
At the counter, I said, hey, partner
How about passing the ketchup over

Suddenly, this little bitty green hand
Holding a ketchup bottle came into view
And I freaked cause the guy sitting
Next to me was a Martian

Now in twenty-eight years of eating hamburgers
I ain't never run into no Martian
Not at 2:30 in the morning and certainly
Not at a fine scarfing establishment like Eat

Well, he was sitting over there with a
Bunch of colored sticks on his plate
And I looked over at him and I said
What you eating there, boy, crayons
He said, why no
they're Martian cigarettes
Here, try one

Well, 'bout half hour later
He looked over at me and smiled
Them Martians ain't got
But two teeth in their head
And he said, how do you feel

And I said, well, I feel so good
Yeah, I do, gonna boogie

Meanwhile, back at Eat's
I was still thinking, I said
How come out of all the places
You could have landed
You wound up here

He said, well, according
To my lunar space map
This town here is supposed to be
The boogie capital of the U.S.A

So I asked him, I said
Now, where else you been, boy
And he told me

He said, I've rocked 'em over
And I've rocked 'em down

Rocked 'em in the country
I've rocked 'em in town
Rock and roll been so good to me

? A lady and she asked my name
Told her my name was on ten of my shirt
Told her, rocking chair Martian
Don't have to work

Yeah, I feel so good
Yeah, yeah, gonna boogie
Martian boogie

I haven't ever heard this song but have listened to a lot of their other stuff. I just found this doing a google search.:star:

[Cornflake]

yeah i googled it too and came up with the same thing. it might be cheating though?

[Spudboy]

I thought it might be cheating too.

BTW - got the next one as well. I'll let someone else answer this time.
