reminds me of an amp LEGEND at smile i used to see a lot. she had this cd that was always playing...i was in the middle of a great bbbj once when King of the Road (Roger Miller) started playing. i was in the throes of ecstasy when all of a sudden i hear:
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let... fifty cents
No phone no pool or pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
Kinda threw me off my game. Later on comes Wooly Bullly by (dallas' own) Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs...

not exactly mood music.
I eventually took her some cd's i made for her, some Ottmar Liebart, Waldemar Bastos, some Astrud Gilberto, Carlos Jobim etc (i was in a heavy Brazilian music phase at the time). i told her never to play her old cd again.
But every time i hear King of the Road i get a chuckle. and a woody.
