Wikipedia page wrote:The song is a standard at the band's live performances, as it has been for many years. Where the original studio version clocked in at only 3:57, live performances include a bass solo in addition to the song's piano and guitar solos, and an extended interlude where lead vocalist Kevin Cronin tells a story that leads up to a conversation between him and lead guitarist Gary Richrath (later Dave Amato) where the guitarist's side consists of guitar solos while Kevin's side is scat vocals. The version of the song on Live: You Get What You Play For is 7:38 in length. An even longer version (12:22) was included on the compilation album A Decade of Rock and Roll: 1970-1980, and a third live version (with Amato) appears on Arch Allies: Live at Riverport.Also, Wikipedia page wrote:This page has some issues

It was a movie in which these 2 mexican guys have some woman hostage. She winds up getting shot in the head. I cant remember the name.....

This was a short film aired by HBO in the late, late 80s or early 90s meant to scare people into properly storing their hand guns so kids would not play with them. Something along the lines of "The Lonely Death of..." The climatic accidental shooting had brain matter flying out like it was Full Metal Jacket. The grandmother found the kid... Disturbed the shit out of me at time. Probably would still disturb me...

Only bumping this because it ended up at the end of the line.atomjackfuser wrote:This was a short film aired by HBO in the late, late 80s or early 90s meant to scare people into properly storing their hand guns so kids would not play with them.

I have a MP3 copy of this band called Meringue's album called Grandma's Super Market House and I have no clue as to how I obtained this. It's like non-bad Zappa meets King Crimson. Anyone know how or why I have this?

Get your album onto peoples computers in weird places without them realizing it. Dunno how it's really done, also probably illegal.p.s. is it any good?

Okay, this is a strange one..Andy Roddick US Open commercial. Totally high drama. He was in a car with some guy, driving through New York or something, and the guy basically says, we (the United States) are pulling for you, or, counting on you, or something to that effect.I have no idea why this has stayed with me; was never a big Roddick fan or anything. Haven't searched exhaustively yet or posted on tennis forums, but am hoping not to have to resort to that. But I need to know I didn't imagine it. Would also like to see a clip of it.I swear to god also that it was scored with a piano version of John Parr's The Best (A Man Can Get)wtf
