TUESDAY IS SONG DAY: LOVE THAT DIRTY WATER - The Standells

"The Standells" played at Amoeba Records on Sunset tonight starting at 6PM. 
So there was a brand new "riot on sunset tonight."

My best girlfriend Miss Glenda is married to Larry Tamblyn of the Standells and so in honor of the group performing today, I have chosen "DIRTY WATER" as my Tuesday song choice.

"Dirty Water" is played at all Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, and Boston Bruins  games, as well as at Northeastern Huskies' hockey games.

Here's the original group on their album cover of DIRTY WATER.
If you're a Boston Red Sox fan, then you know the lyrics already.
But check them out below. 

I will be going to P-town in mid October this year.
It will be my first time in Boston and I am looking forward to spending a little time looking at the "dirty water" of the St. Charles river. 

Peace out ya'll!
GM

DIRTY WATER by The Standells
[Spoken:]
I'm gonna tell you a story
I'm gonna tell you about my town
I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby
Aww, it's all about my town

Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles (aw, that's what's happenin' baby)
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves (aw, but they're cool people)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, you're the Number One place)
Frustrated women (I mean they're frustrated)
Have to be in by twelve o'clock (oh, that's a shame)
But I'm wishin' and a-hopin, oh
That just once those doors weren't locked (I like to save time for
my baby to walk around)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)

Because I love that dirty water
Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)

Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby)
I love that dirty water (I love Baw-stun)
I love that dirty water (Have you heard about the Strangler?)
I love that dirty water (I'm the man, I'm the man)
I love that dirty water (Owww!)
I love that dirty water (Come on, come on) [Fade]
