The Manhattan Transfer meets Frank Zappa. Or maybe it's The Kingston Trio meets Talking Heads. Funky and fun, jazzy and juiced, sneaking into your heart when you least expect it.

Then, of course, there's "I'm A Good Boy" (Track #8), which is more like The Shirelles meets American Pie...

And now I have to pay

Gotta ride that Dark Train..."

From those thoughts that I was thinking..."

Porch swing, fireflies..."

But I hot-wired that old Ford Escort
Faster than its little threadbare tires could spin..."
