DO THE PIG
Song poem 45
Ever see those ads in a National Enquirer or other supermarket tabloids that say something like "have your lyrics set to music" or "Your lyrics evaluated FOR FREE!" If you do respond, typically you'd get a packet including: a letter from the company president (usually under a phony name), a brochure obliquely describing the services they offer, a flyer rattling off the hyperbolic ravings of satisfied customers, half-off or two-for-one offers, vague information on their monthly or annual songwriting contests, a listing of related items for sale, such as the inevitable "How To Write And Sell A Hit Song" pamphlet, scattered details on their bogus Songwriters' Club, and a questionnaire subtly designed to excite the prospective customer into lofty dreams of songwriting glory.
The object was the extraction of money from the wallets of well intentioned music wannabes. It worked very, very well. This single is the result of one of those dreams. The songs here are performed by Rodd Keith who did many of the Preview releases and is a bit of a legend in the song-poem world.
This is from around 1968 and probably was pressed in a limited quantity and passed out to friends of the songwriters. The topside is "Do The Pig” paired with “Shadow Of Love.” I’ve heard a lot of these records and this one really is one of the best – with some really incompetent lyrics attached to a weedy arrangement.
