I don't know why but one day when I was perusing the offerings at my locally owned record and cassette tape shop (yes, that was a long time ago) the clerk recommended this tape to me saying I would really love it. In particular he mentioned "When I Win the Lottery". After putting it into my car's tape player I was hooked on Camper Van Beethoven. Their music has sustained me over these many years.
Pure genius, first time I heard them it was when I was looking for "jewelry" on emule, I finally found the track "Turquoise jewellery" and wow, I'm so glad to have found this band, they are awesome, their music is just genius !
This has Randy Newman written all over it. And I can see how Bradly Nowell could have gotten thematic inspiration from it for "April 26, 1992" from this.
Some of the lyrics in this song are forever engraved into my memory. Gotta thank my brother for giving me this as my first ever CD back in 1989.
This song SO influenced my tastes, persona, and aesthetic back as a Wisconsin kid in High school! THIS... is punk rock
This song has been stuck in my head from the second I woke up today...
My goodness, what a great song... "God won't take the time to sort your ashes from mine" indeed
the album Key Lime Pie is a masterpiece from beginning to end
my dad just told me to listen to this for when asked for some music to listen to. I am not disappointed, this is an amazing, underrated song!

"Now I can walk into any ole bar and find a fight without lookin too hard but I never killed someone I don't know just 'cos someone told me too."
Four about 4 minutes I was young again.
Fantastic!
Key Lime Pie is one of my all time fav albums.

Sadly most people wouldn't know an amazing song these days if it slapped them across the face.
I know Captain Zig Zag.
He is from Santa Cruz CA
I love this CVB Classic. And great post of it live. Still can't help but wonder why the camera work looks like a robotic arm on the space station.
One word: tripod

Great version. Feels that you get more of the impact, humour and poignancy from the lyrics when you can hear them a bit clearer
Keeps being relevant again.
The Ziggens brought me here.
I think he got away with it.
