Song Notes:
#1-5 were inspired by the bizarre and busty rubber figurines made by the wacky folks at Accoutrements Inc. called The Invasion of the Monster Women (and sadly no longer available, unless you want to order $10,000 worth. Thatâs a lot of bugs).

#6: How many old time song titles can you find in Fiddler Man? (Hint: more than 4, less than 6)

#7: The Citation lyrics were written by my wunderkind son, Joshua, when he was in high school. The nut doesnât fall far from the tree.

#8: The Passion of the Drama was the result of asking a friend if she was still going out with her on-again off-again boyfriend and she replied, âUmmm, I donât remember.â

#9: Your Cinnamon Buns was written on a restaurant napkin at breakfast. Guess what we were having?
(wrong--- it was eggs and potatoes)

Note to parents: you might not want to have to explain tracks 10 â 14 to the kids.

#10 Prozac Nation: Recent tests are finding pharmaceuticals in our water supplies. Scary! My first version of the chorus went:
The whole worldâs gonna get happy
The whole worldâs gonna get high
âCause weâre pissing out our anti-depressants
Into the water supply!

#11: Love Trigger â Clift and I went to a Valentineâs Day party where you had to come as a famous couple, so we chose Dale Evens and Roy Rogers. Our stick horse Trigger stole the show. Pinch his ear and he whinnies and gallops (you can hear him on the end fade out).

#12: Menopause Blues: This whole CD is a result of âem!

#13: No Trim: If you think Brazilians only live in Brazil, youâd better ask someone about this.

#14: Laurieâs Limericks: E-mail me if you want to hear my favorite limerick. It is way too disgusting to put in the song!

#15: Write your Own Limerick: I double-dare you!
