Your "song of the day/week" thread.....

Root Boy, if I am not mistaken, spent some time in a rubber room somewhere in Maryland. He was out there but his music wasn't bad. I think he died early from a drug overdose.

This is a humorous, upbeat, Caribbean/reggae inspired song from Steely Dan's 1976 album 'Royal Scam'. It tells the story of an unhappy spouse who travels to Haiti, to take FULL advantage of their 1970s tourist-trap policy of legally granting QUICK and EASY divorces, only requiring 1 spouse to be present, and very loose legal justification for the divorce.

The Haitian govt created this quickie divorce system to draw in foreign tourists, to 'get it over with ASAP', then to party and have fun on the sunny beaches!

The subject in the song takes full advantage of the system AND it's implied she also took advantage of "the local talent"! This song includes tasteful and unique usage of the then-popular "talk box" sound effect used by Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh. But here it's used as a unique wah wah guitar effect.

Within their extensive record repertoire, John Phillips arranged well over a dozen M&P songs with a distinctive honky-tonk sound. Phillips works this magic here with a Lennon/McCartney composition which delivers a gorgeous outcome.

As with all M&P recordings, the same Wrecking Crew musicians always met the challenge. Larry Knechtel - piano, Joe Osborn - electric bass, Hal Blaine - drums, P.F. Sloan - guitar

Here's Graham Nash singing "Our House" from his NYC home 2 days ago to help entertain people, like himself, who are stuck at home due to the Covid 19 scare.
