About our first album
Our first album was called "The Olde Time Taste Of The Banana." That was Big Jon's fault. We made a big list of possible names. This list included the following:
Songs Sung Stu
Don't Touch The Arabic
Red Stuff with Yer Red Stuff On It
108 Cook Street
Stu Pidwish and the Texas Jewboys
Live at the Timberlakes
Best Band Created By Man or Beast
Best Band Created By Land or Beast
Best Band Created By Lando Calrissian
We Love You More Than The Man Who's Ten Feet Tall
That's a True Story
They Ain't Makin' Stu's Like Jesus Anymore
Doolny Butter
StuPid Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Stupidest
No Regatta
Wearing The Helmet of Power
...Gabriel Bato
Made Out Of Rubber
Wipe That Face Off Your Head, Bitch!
The Old Time Taste Of The Banana
Some of those may be recognizable, since we stole them. The Banana story is from Big Jon's first attempts at playing the banjo. He was teaching himself from a book. The book instructed him to "listen to the old time sound of the F chord." He then spent the next hour or so playing an F chord over and over and demanding that everyone in the room listen to the old time sound of it. Eventually he got bored and hungry and after taking a bite of a banana, he declared, "I love the old time taste of the banana!"
The Helmet of Power used to live on the ceiling covering a light and making cool light patterns on the walls. It would occassionally come down to be a helmet of power or for making spaghetti. I have no idea what Gabriel Bato is from. No Regatta comes from an unfortunate incident involving calzones and a particluar type of cheese I don't like. Doolny Butter and the Timberlakes are all Henry. That's it for now.
