I happened to catch a performance of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band on either "The Midnight Special" or "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" way way back when. I had no idea what the hell they were singing about, but it had something to do with the word 'vamboo', and the only reason I know that is because Mr. Harvey ended up spray painting that word on a wall behind the drummer. They must have made some type of impression on me as I can still remember that performance....and the guitarist's disturbing clown face makeup.
I really hate clowns.
