The Mellotron Group

We have had so many discussions over the years about how so few songs have  
meaningful lyrics. The guy who sings this song has written and performed a 
lot  of really great ones over the years. This is a special song. Enjoy.

I have never been able to make it through more than one or two Tom Waits  
songs in a sitting. I don't own any of his stuff. I do like Danny Elfman and 
I  have always loved Oingo Boingo. The Farewell (live) album and DVD 
showcases one  of the best live shows I have ever seen or heard.

Sounds like someone has been listening to far too many Tom Waits  records.

Then maybe you ought to try, as it sounds like you might have more time 
for him than you think. I also notice that one of the two comments on 
the video was made by '/maliciousRainDog/', a Tom Waits handle if ever 
there was one.

I actually didn't mean to aim the remark at you anyway; I meant that the 
songwriter was obviously listening to rather a lot of TW to write the 
song. It actually /reeks /of him. (/The Reek of Tom Waits /is an album 
title I have reserved for future use)

Perhaps. It's 2: 25 AM and I've just come up from my shop. I've been there  
since 8 PM. All I do is listen to music or audio books. I'm usually in the 
shop  at least 2-4 hours a night. Tonight was a long one as I am finishing 
up a  Mellotron. (my camera sucks!). I have the time to listen to lots of 
music.

Most people remember Danny Elfman - Oingo Boingo from their appearance in the film Back to School (Rodney Dangerfield).  Elfman scored most of Tim Burton's films and The Simpsons theme.  I'm looking forward to hearing his score for Alice in Wonderland coming out next week.

He'll just end up owing Rachmaninoff even more....
