this song was one of the last things we recorded. Done in the BIG studio with Joe Barbaria as engineer. We obsessed over this one. It was a really fun song LIVE. mudpal k

Lyrics

the story of the story of
i hope i tell it well
brought up in a land so free
thinking it so swell
want a wife
want a house
want the biggest car
she wants to be president
he wants to be a star

but where is love
but where is love

do they teach you to be what they want?
do they tell ou to be nice?
do they tell you that your world is sugar
sugar and spice?

do you resent the fact that it's so hard,
and you never had a clue?
and now your candy coated world has melted into goo.

well it's up to you
to change it too

luck

Another nice piece of history!
What I would give to go back in time and catch you guys live. This is great festival music - music to catch a wave by, to crowd surf by, to do the hippy shake by! Lots of great energy and wide open wave melodies. And very tribal! This track reminds me of a local band in Florida called Lo Presher. If you guys were recording and performing today, you would SO tear down the house at surf expos and rainbow festivals! Another d/l!

	Wild I like how the tune is powerful, but somehow delicate and ornate. Very cool drums and interesting song. Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

	hi PV i know what you mean by delicate and ornate. there are 'clouds' of percussion on this. thanks for your great message --- mudmen again Check out my latest song called luck

	pinpoint old guy here... I cannot remember the song that the little ditty starting at 00:39 -> 00:50 reminds me of, an old 'psychedelic' daze song, an old favorite of mine from the era.... not that this song sounds like it at all. cool stuff here, folks.

mudmen	mudmen said 948 days ago (April 24th, 2007)

	Regarding Surf Know what's odd, Kevin? I had never thought of a surf sound with this song until people were leaving comments about it on here. I had always thought of it as Cowboys meet Africa but NOW i can hear the surf music relation. --- mudmen again Check out my latest song called luck

	hi mudpal c i can't remember that long ago what was going on in my brain.. surf rock might have been in there. i just think i was trying to find a simple melody to play over what you and mike were doing. mudpal k --- mudmen again Check out my latest song called luck

	Erm Shadows meets talking heads, terrific, colourful blur of rhythms and beats, Id bring the vocals forward in the mix a little IMO. Great for a sunny drive. Fantastic. Check out my latest song called The Jes on Sea Road

	strong message You had a conscious grip on things with this band. The jungle groove supports the chaos inside one mind looking for love in a decadent world. Good hook-line to hold on to when it gets to overwhelming. One more super mudmen song to the collecion:) Thanks! Check out my latest song called Don't tell me what I can't w/KTB and Ingve

	Nearly missed this one ... .. which would've been my loss. Great drumming really pushes this one along, and the instruments have an almost 'world music' flavour to theme. Funkin belly dancing art rock music .... excellent stuff ... feeds the head and the feet. Steve Check out my latest song called Deeper (w/t Racerat)

fun!
I would have loved to be the bass player on this one. The rhythm section seem to be having all the fun. Sure the surfy guitar is fun, but what makes this song is the drivin rhythm. After the word "luck" there seems to be a tape splice, very distinct break. Intentional? The natives are very restless it seems......you must have had a blast playing this live.

	How'd I miss this one - I guess I thought you had released everything there was. This is amazing. I can hear the Mudmen/Joan fusion in it's primordial state. Great space and layering - totally cool. Check out my latest song called try not to think

	Outlaw Josey Wales... ...catches a wave and hangs ten! Or is it the Ventures jamming with Carlos Santana's rhythm section? Awesome percussion! Be well! Check out my latest song called It's Not The Same
