I watched this "movie" many many moons ago and I remember thinking it was one of the most pathetic things I ever laid my eyes on. I wanted Ram and I got a James Bond production of Roger Rabbit. I'm sure it's still really bad, but I don't remember the dude from Cocktail being in it, and that movie is pretty okay by me.

The back cover of Ram famously features a photo of a beetle screwing another beetle. Good one Paul.In other news about animal intercourse...Go here.MP3: John Lee Hooker - Walkin The Boogie

For about five years during my middle school and high school years, I took guitar lessons from Mario, an Italian guy in his late 20s whose fingers were each as wide my entire fist. He had a ponytail, that when let out, made him look like a heavy metal Shakespeare character. He was responsible for teaching me some guitar, but most importantly, he told me to buy some records that I would still take bullets for. Among them were Paul McCartney's Ram and Jellyfish's Bellybutton, which through Jason Falkner, led me to Brendan Benson shortly after.Not much point to this story, other than Benson's One Mississippi just came on my iTunes a few minutes ago, and much like Ram, Bellybutton, and Benson's second LP, Lapalco, it has got some of the most lyrically ridiculous yet enjoyable pop songs ever put on tape.

Paul McCartney and Percy Thrillington.
Paul McCartney decided one day in the spring of 1971 that he was real keen on the idea of making an orchestral version of Ram. He made it, it hit the shelves, and in 1977, he decided to finally put it out. But he wanted to have some fun, and because he's the king of (un)cool, he released it under the pseudonym of Percy "Thrills" Thrillington. He and Lovely Linda started spreading phony stories to the gossip pages and taking out ads announcing Mr. Thrillington's social and musical activities in London. Thrillington doesn't have his name anywhere, but let me assure you, this shit is pure Paul. It might sound like a C grade Bond soundtrack at times but any cover version of one of the greatest albums that ever was is fine by me.MP3: Thrillington - Monkberry Moon Delight
