The Zoo (BSC)
by @kosch
Liner Notes
I was planning (hoping) to sneak in a Bad Song Club prompt-driven song again this FAWM. It's always a fun adventure - and you never know where you will end up. This morning worked perfect - I was up a little early, so had some time (I mean, you only need 30 minutes!), opened the email and the prompt was “What happened at the zoo"..
In the 80's I had a few friends that had a band called The Zoo - I was a part time member, myself (harmonica on a few). Well, it was a different time, and to say the shows at Nick & Neils were legendary, might just be an understatement.
This was the story of one of those nights (well, the amount I could rhyme in 30 minutes, anyway...)
Lyrics
The Zoo Chuck is up there on the table Greg is throwing it around Lord, I'd get up if I was able, But, the drinks are really going down
Cops are out there in the parking lot Seeing who they might catch Seems somebody, hit someone with something But they ain't caught no one yet.
When The Zoo plays Nick & Neils, Lord, it seems they're going to tear it down But, they never do, they're just too busy Playing those rocking sounds Playing those rocking sounds Playing those rocking sounds

Your voice on this guitar rhythm is perfection! Love the story and the glimpse into history. "Bad Song Club, baby" dang right! But this is pretty good if I'm being honest :)

Cool sound and groove! Love your delivery! And the lyrics are so much fun and take me back to days where there were little cares and we embraced life being cool. A very very good bad song.

BSC for the win! I am digging the bluesy feel of this Playing those rocking sounds seems like a rock anthem in the works.
