Charlie's thoughts on the Farquahr...


Charlie has left a new comment on your post "My eggs don't taste the same without you...":

Cloud Nine Motel was only one of many comedic songs sung by the Farquahr (most written by Doug Lapham "Barnswallow") This song was featured on a Dr. Demento show that may or may not be archived somewhere on the net. I almost know the lyrics by heart. here goes with apologies to Doug:
I took my wife and kids on vacation, to a place where we'd never been,
There was a mixup in the reservations, so for us there was no room at the Inn.
Now this was at the height of the season when a room was really hard to find,
We drove around and long about evening we found a motel they called Cloud Nine.
Now the wife and kids went out to find our room, while I unloaded the car,
Soon the kids came running back excited and said hey dad this is the best place by far!
chorus:
Daddy they've got mirrors on the ceiling, and you oughta see whats playing on TV!
They got whips & chains in the closet and the bathtub would hold the family!
Now your bed is shaped like a big heart and dad it goes up and down !
And mom's so happy she's crying, it must be the magazines she found !!! etc..
Someone please take of these handcuffs and what's that trapeze doing in here!
Just then i saw my youngest go walkin by with something he had found
He said, hey dad what the heck is this thing, it vibrates and makes a humming sound.......

There is more it is a great song; it is on the Farquahr's cd From the Top. Good luck for such a terrific group. There is very little about them on the net sadly... I know they had a great following..
