I was wondering if this is more than a > coincidence, and where abouts one could find the fruvous copy of The Road > Runner Song? 1) Coincidence I'd guess. Most of the time Fruvous does covers of bands they think are incredible and enjoy playing the music as well. Bands like Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Stevie Wonder, Cher. No, wait on that last one. Sometimes they play covers because they think it'd be funny. Funny stuff would be things like Road Runner Song and WKRP. Complete speculation, but I think a lot of the covers come from way back when Mike, Jian, and Murray were in a cover band. So when Dave came along and there wasn't a lot of original music to play, I'm sure a lot of the covers from the Chia Pets days popped out. Stuff like WKRP and the Road Runner Song prolly came from busking, where catchy and familiar tunes might get someone's attention. The only time the Road Runner song was played in recent history (this being the last 3 years to me *grin*) was at the Lafayette Brewing Company in Lafayette IN in October of 1998. > 2) I have forever lost my copy of 'wood' and was wondering if someone would > be so kind as to tell me who wrote Nuits de Reve? Buy a new one. Moxy Fruvous wrote Nuits de Reve *grin*. Popular belief thinks Jian wrote Nuits de Reve while in England during the Bargainville tour. Mike translated it to French and it worked well. > 3) I was also wondering which copy of 'Green Eggs and Ham' I have?? The > version I have is nothing like any of the copies listed at fruvous.com. If > anyone knows of other versions floating around and where they originated, > would ya help me out?? Can you be more specific on the version you have? Is it mp3? Is it copied Indie cassestte? Is is some analog tape you got somewhere that you don't remember? The only known officially recorded and released versions of GE&H are on either the Indie cassette or the bargainville sampler. The Indie tape was self produced and sold at shows while Fruvous was indie in Canada. The other officially released version is on the Bargainville sampler tape that they distributed at a couple shows around the Bargainville era in the US. They again recorded it at the Mercury Lounge at one of the shows recorded for Live Noise, but the song wasn't put on to Live Noise probably for legal reasons. More or less, there are two versions of GE&H (though they both change a whole lot when performed). There is a slow version which when performed live starts with Murray and Mike coming out and Mike doing an introduction about Literature then introducing Murray who introduces the main characters Sam-I-Am and Mr. Cheese. The indie cassestte and the bargainville sampler both have this version, but it starts at the intro scat part to the song. Note that I don't own and have never heard the bargainville sampler, so it may be the same version as the indie tape. The fast version or short version or whatever, almost always segues from King of Spain directly into the song. It starts with a rocking bass line and the words start at "Would you, could you in a car" (this skips an intro that is in the longer version too). > 4) Back to the connection with the Barenaked Ladies, I know they sang backup > on If I Had $1,000,000. The other Toronto based duo (and definately another > of my favorite groups) Chris Brown & Kate Fenner (formerly of the Bourbon > Tabernacle Choir) also sang backup on that track. I was wondering if the > connetion between fruvous and Chris & Kate went any further? I know Chris > and have meet him several times, but never asked. I know that the Barnaked fellas and Fruvous know each other. I would guess, like now, back then the Toronto Indie scene all kinda knew each other. Fruvous has always been in the habit of helping other indie bands get some exposure (like during Fruvous & Friends for Choice - a "almost" annual benefit for the OCAC (Ontario Center (?) for Abortion Clinics) and during the past couple years even touring with them. So, I'd guess that they know each other professionally mostly. All that's a guess though. Don't hold me to any of it. I do know that Moxy Fruvous got better seats at the All-star game *Grin* Anyways, these are my opinions of the answers to your questions. Hope they help. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: 18 Mar 2000 17:33:17 GMT From: "EricJ" Subject: whats wrong with FHDC does anyone have an idea???
