I have no idea what this little gem from Eugene Chadbourne is all about but I’m playing it on the show. The lyrics are cool, the musicianship superb, and the sense of humor sublime. Eugene is a true eccentric and I can certainly appreciate that. Should be more like him on the planet. Now that I think about it, I’d like a little tunnel as well.
