Recorded on a really old 16 track Fostex recorder with two acoustic guitars, a bass, a real set of drums and a really drunk guy on vocals.
The car peel out was done in the parking lot of the studio.

I like it! Catchy little hook there. Kinda like an anti-PSA. :)

I really like it! The lyrics sounds like something I would do. I don't know, but I think the qualifications for the being vocalist was to bring the beer.

I don't drink and don't think we should encourage anyone to drink and drive, but this is to be funny and it is. Why don't you copyright it and send it into Taxi or somewhere? You might dig up some interest.

Hey, I just ran across "Drink Drive", not "Drink & Drive" which is the same song you recorded. I had it saved on my computer. I thought you wrote that song, but I guess you just recorded. I still liked it.

Yep, I recorded it awhile back with a couple of friends. We figured it'd be a blast to just go into a studio and record a bunch of stupid songs for the hell of it. I did all the instruments excepts the drums done by my bro.

Pete, the guy on vocals was hilarious. No musical experience at all & he did every song in one take from the bathroom. On this one you can hear him taking a leak just before the song starts then at the end he flushes it.

If ya listen with headphones ya can hear me coughing cause I used to smoke back then :)
... oh yeah, every note on the bass is done with one hand while drinking a beer except for the very last note.

Not my style, but I did enjoy it. I thought is was very interesting that you coughed in time.

This is what music is about -- bringing smiles to the listeners ....great!

"Lots of people, Lots of people, Drink and Drive"...this will stick in my head for the next 3 months...at least!

Love the sound effects at the end. Thanks for making my day!
