One in a million girl. I saw them on my first date with my wife. They had Tvs everywhere, hence the name the tubes. The lead singer had an alter personality named Qualude

I always loved the end of this one

The Tubes - What do you Want from Life?

And although I cant find a video of this one Im sure you like I love this baby

T U B E S - L Y R I C S

Proud To Be An American
Spooner

I'm proud
to be an American
I'm proud
of the groovy things we've done
There's television, free religion, Rock 'n' roll, Standard Oil,
Times Square, Jimmy Darren, Corey Wells, and Smokey Bear,
price reduction, reconstruction, Peace Corps, and lots more
Culture that we got to lend

I'm proud
to be an American
And I'm proud
Had a great time bein' one
There's your school and my school and both of us in high school,
surfboards, cigarettes, homework, Southern Comfort
Boy's dean was real mean,
Made us keep our locker's clean
Failed nearly every class
Ditchin' was a gas

I'm proud
to be a young American
I'm proud, just think about it
All the far out things that we've begun
There's revolution, constitution, land, sea, and air pollution,
cold wars, hot wars, gas wars, and confrontutions,
constipation, consternation, open hearted palpitations
Muscular Dystrophy

I'm proud to be an American
Because we got department stores
full of cheap guitars
But when Sputnik plays 'em, you just go go go go

I'm proud to be an American--we got two chickens in every garage
And I wish every other kid could be one--in my country, the medium is the massage
'Cause it's impossible to give
Equality and justice to inferior foreigners
too jealous to trust us

Gimme your weak and your homeless
How 'bout checkin' the oil ah, fella?

I'm proud to be an American

Heres another group that probably few of you have heard of

The Fugs - from the movie Chappaqua

That was not their first choice of names however they couldnt get any record label to use their original one. Ill let you all guess what that was. Most of their lyrics cannot be posted on these boards

Classics like Slum goddess of the east side and saran wrap

**Strike For The South** · 06-16-2007, 07:31

Skynyrd

**Reverend Joe** · 06-16-2007, 08:24

Well, you already names Captain Beefy, so...

Comus.

Look them up; get their first album, First Utterance. It was written by a dude who spent time in and out of an insane asylum, WHILE WRITING THE ALBUM. It's some of the best (and only) progressive folk music ever (the Band is the only other prog-folk band I can think of.) Great stuff, although the actual song lyrics are disturbing to say the least.
