about

Steve writes:
This was the first song Judge and I did, it’s my favourite. Pimento Head is an homage to the slightly retarded kids from my earliest days working as a grocery clerk. Ollie and Jeff were brothers, they really did go fishing in the sewer, Charlie had a wart removed, Dave was so pigeon-toed we called him Paddlefoot and performed a cruel dance in his honor.

lyrics

PIMENTO HEAD

Pimento Head
Pimento Head
(not Zucchini Head)
(not Zucchini Head)
and Jeff said
and Jeff said:
“There’s a stink bomb in my locker!
Stink bomb!
There’s a stink bomb in my locker!
stink bomb!”

Then Ollie said
to Jeff’s head
(Jeff’s his brother)
and Pimento Head
AND Zucchini Head
(but not Dave’s head):
“Let’s go fishin’ in the sewer!
Let’s go fishin’ in the sewer!
Let’s go fishin’ in the sewer!”

Don’t forget Dave,
my friend Dave.
My little buddy Dave,
Paddle footin’ Dave.
Paddle footin’
Paddle footin’
Paddle footin’
Paddle footin’

And Charlie said,
and Charlie said:
“Pimento Head,
I’ve got a wart.
Wanna see my wart?
I’m gonna get my wart removed –
on Tuesday!”

Pimento Head
Pimento Head
(Not Zucchini Head)
(Not Zucchini Head)
and Jeff said
and Jeff said:
“Let’s go fishin’ in the sewer!
Let’s go fishin’ in the sewer!
Let’s go fishin’ in the sewer!”

Great music. Wonderful playing. Makes one wonder how isolated organ of VDGG classics might sound. Rudi Horemans

HB plays JSB on HB3
by Hugh Banton

Passacaglia is one of the loveliest works of mighty JSB. While I adore HB's playing and his wonderful digital instrument as well, I admit that this record is jaw dropping for me. Frank Hadlich

Hi Hugh, just a quick note that I pre-ordered the BIG box; I was lucky to pass this off as a birthday gift to myself ;). I’ve been passing the Burning Shed order page around, but I do not believe it will be necessary as it seems to be selling in droves. Anyhow thanks for all the work you do to preserve these recordings; it surely is a massive undertaking. I hope I get to see the band play live again here in Montreal, but none of us are getting any younger…. Mark Mark Penny
