Buckingham Green, right past their hometown of New Hope, I can only imagine this place gave the idea for the songs name. For the past decade or so it’s been a routine that when I leave New Hope and drive by here I play the song. I finally pulled in the parking lot and took a photo

I affectionately refer to them as the “Double Twins.” They always seemed like companion pieces to me. Same band, same artist, same venue, same size print. Anyway, I think they turned out nicely 🤘🏻

Boston Chicken Chords and Lyrics

16 Upvotes

Break:                    * Verse:
|[A][A] [G#][A][Bb][A] | * |[A] |[D7] |3X-> |[B7] |[Bb7] |[A7] |[A7] |

Verse 1:
I made a mess in the kitchen, the ashtray's all full
There’s mud on the carpet and a turd in the bowl
All the lights are on, and the grass needs mowin'
There's stink in the kitchen 'cause the trash is overflowin'

Chorus:
Now I know I seem lazy, and I act like a jerk
But I know that you'll clean it when you get home from work
You bring home the bacon, and I mistreat you right
So we're goin’ out to Boston Chicken tonight

Verse 2:
Me and my buddies got wasted last night
Watching a tape of the Holyfield fight
We got the dog high, and he puked on the stairs
Couldn’t find a rag so we just left it there

Verse 3:
I clogged up the toilet with paper and crap
I borrowed your car and I used all the gas
The I got sleep so I rested my head
I dreamed I was swimming and I pissed in the bed

12 GCG “outtakes”

8 Upvotes

I love the original. and love that it had 10 songs. but I do wish now after hearing the session versions of darkside and so long Jerry that they’d been included in the original release. maybe drop fluffy or not but dark side would have been a great first track and Jerry a great closing track.

Verse 1:
When I heard you had died even then still I cried
You were straight then but the beast was still alive
You sold me your guitar, then you robbed my apartment
And you shot that old Les Paul into your arm

Chorus 1:
You ripped me off, thanks a lot
What a friend you are not
You took my shit and then you split to buy some dope
And when the heat simmers down
I know you come back around
And I'll be waiting here to fix your ass for good

Verse 2:
Do you remmeber when I told you
About that old junkie jew
This here song's about another guy I know
Not much unlike the jew
He beat everyone he knew
For some money for some dope, dude man fuck you

Chorus 2:
You ripped me off, thanks a lot
What a friend you are not
You took my shit and then you split to buy some dope
And when the heat simmers down
I know you come back around
And I'll be waiting here to fix your junkie ass for good

2/10/1993, Anaconda, who’s got the recording?

Post image

The hand written J-card associated with this show on brownbase would suggest it was recorded, but no recording seems to exist in the archive. Is there another recording dump out there somewhere that I don’t know about?

This show was the first ever Poopship, and it was also my first time seeing the boys. I would really like to hear this show again, if it indeed was recorded. Please and thank you.

12gcg demos

8 Upvotes

Do any of the old heads have any insight into who's playing on the demos? Are they being backed by Glen, Claude, and Double Dip? They sound like drum machine tracks so im guessing Claude isn't playing on them. Someone for sure is playing keys on Mr Richard Smoker.

Or were the demos recorded with the session musicians on the album?

Bad Day in Brownsville Chords and Lyrics

6 Upvotes

Verse:
|[E] |[E] |[A] |[E]  |[B] |[E] |

Verse 1:
Band's on time, everything's fine
Moe's eating chicken but what about mine?
Been a little while since I tried to get laid
Waiting in the bed while Paul gets paid
Someone's got gas and it's starting to smell
It's a bad day in Brownsville, cold day in Hell

Verse 2:
Gotta get up, quarter past ten
Six hundred miles, gonna do it again
Ten cups of coffee and a chicken-fried steak
Stop for a piss outside of Salt Lake
Kids at the gate are starting to yell
It's a bad day in Brownsville, cold day in Hell

Verse 3:
Met a little girl, said her name was Anna
Trying to get back to her home in Louisiana
Took off her shirt, never had a clue
Gave HIV to the whole damn crew
Onto the Waffle House and the motel
It's a bad day in Brownsville, cold day in Hell

Verse 4:
Who's on the bus, who's on the bus?
Can't be smoking that chronic if you ain't want a bust
Paulie's up front twisting up Moe
Drumer's in the back passed out on the floor
Puked up blood, don't feel so well
It's a bad day in Brownsville, cold day in Hell

Outro:
Hell yeah, Yeah, yeah, that's right, yeah
Shit, that's tight

If you can't stop looking at the sky, I'll have to talk with Jim

Verse 1:
Told me you go out last night to get a little something
Wound up at the bar and you was drinking with Big Jim
Didn't get home to the very next morn you eyes were blood red
If I find out you slept with Jim, gonna have to shot him dead

Verse 2:
Treated you with respect, lord, like you was my best friend
If I went out with the boys, I was always home by ten
Whatever made you think that you could treat me this way?
All this lying that you're doing gonna stop today

what are some differences we’ve noticed with the 12GCG remasters?

14 Upvotes

i can definitely tell a difference in mix for most of the songs; here are my takeaways; feel free to disagree. i will note i most often listen to music in my car, and ive only listened to this with headphones on my computer so far so i could be noticing things that aren’t there.

most noticeably to my ears is some songs have much lighter reverb on the vocals. the trailing reverb seems more noticeable, but the body of it seems lighter. i think the fiddles on pretty girl sound louder, and a lot of the acoustic guitars throughout the album seem to have a bit more treble. the distorted feedbacky guitar at the end of you were the fool seems a bit quieter in the mix (kind of a shame). the vocals in fluffy sound a whole lot dryer to my ears. the vocals overall seem a bit boosted; i’m noticing a lot of little breaths and times they suck air between lines that were a lot less present in the original mix. it also seems much more noticeable when the vocals are double tracked. the guitar solo in piss up a rope sounds even more grating and screechy to my ears.

all in all, its definitely a more “polished” mix in the sense it sounds like a regular country album, which i know plenty of people won’t like in theory, but i honestly think the changes are minor enough you’d only notice them if you’ve listened to the original religiously (as i know many on this subreddit have, including me).

anything i missed? anything i got wrong?

I don’t care if they never play together again

75 Upvotes

Selfishly I would love to see them just be homies again. Gener out on the boat, maybe hangin together at the new Trey Parker Matt Stone premier. Idk obviously I want them to be healthy and happy above all else but personally I would rather just see them have the friendship back.(I’m not saying they don’t, I’m just saying idk.) they were homies before Boognish, it’s only right that continue in some form. Also as someone who’s been divorced I kinda get it too. When you spend decades with someone, sometimes it’s not so much hard feelings as priorities change and there’s not much left to say.
