lyrics

I will build a rocket and weʼll take it to the dunes
Jet pack on my Chevrolet for Arizona loons
Wendy checking all the facts and Finn just shooting scenes
Letʼs get high with helium and California dreams
Letʼs get high with helium and California dreams.

J is for the genius that took these mothers down.
J is for the jackass and C is for the clown.
L for Larry Walters.
Larry Long beach town.
J is for the genius that took these mothers down

I will fly this Chevy Cruze across the black bayou
Darwin double twofer, weʼre Texan double blue
Darwin double twofer, weʼre Texan double blue.

J is for the genius that took these mothers down.
J is for the jackass and C is for the clown.
L for Larry Walters.
Larry Long beach town.
J is for the genius that took these mothers down.

We see American monkey, getting drunk on brandy
He should never touch another drop again
We should never touch another drop again.

J is for the genius that took these mothers down
J is for the jackass and C is for the clown.
L for Larry Walters.
Larry Long beach town.
J is for the genius that took these mothers down
J is for the genius that took these mothers down.

about

The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco Essex, UK

In 1957, Harley Earl designed the most beautiful automobile the world would ever see.

By 1960 the tail-fin was all but extinct.

In 2013 Harley Earl appeared to Essex chancers David Myers and Malcolm Moore in a dream.

‘Create melody and meaning that will allow the human race to move freely and without drag...

Be aer-o-dy-NAS-mic.

Be The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco’. ... more

Mr. Saturday Night
by Julian Velard

Worth the entrance fee for 'Fellow Americans' alone. Also, he has the word 'Fiasco' prominently featured on the cover of his 'Fancy Words For Failure' album. We think it's a message. The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco
