Look! De plane Boss! De PLANE!
Phil Janzen kicking ass on drums, Jeff Leece swinging the bass (go man go!), Willy G on slide and me on guitars, piano, vocals. Mikey spun the dials and Tom Bolenbach debuts as Sinamon (that slutty girl from Apache Junction) and as W. "Why, that's CRAZY talk!"

Ever have one of those days when everyone around you who appears normal really seems like they're unhinged? I have had the misfortune to meet three of these bozo's in my life...no names shall be mentioned, they know who they are. What if they all ended up shipwrecked on an island, and there was no way off? Good for the rest of us, but bad if you happen to be stranded with these looney tunes. And so "Crazy Island" came to be. A hat tip to Tony Severino for the bass line that eventually became the vocal scatting - Listen for the debut of Sinamon at the end of the song.

Crazy Island (Slater, Severino) ©2008 BMI Look at your picture I guess no one really knew The kind of psycho you’d turn out to be Inside your yearbook The one that’s written in this song You were hiding all along I never knew what crazy was before Until the day that I was washed ashore on Crazy Island It’s such a goofy place It’s where the loony on the corner goes And no one really knows his name On Crazy Island Stamped upon your face I heard the storm winds blow I guess your mind’s erased Cause your mama told me so No shelter from your pain on Crazy Island You had the whole world fooled You wore a smiling face Like some psycho on a shooting spree You dissed my woman You stole my checkbook And then you lost your mind Everyone around you knows your nuts and that’s Fine fine fine Every thirty days You seem to let your brain go south You never seem to shut your mouth Can you imagine what it’s like to be? And that’s what it was like for me Trapped for all eternity On CRAZY ISLAND
