[Dave Schultz]

Hey all,

I'd agree with most of the suggestions so far, especially the original one - 
'Somebody's...' always struck me as a weird one, but in a cool, hypnotic 
way. 'I'm the Cure' has, since my first listen, also stood out from the rest 
of their material. Oils at their most punk.
But I gotta defend 'Shipyards'! That song has always been a fave of mine 
("chasing history, I left home" -what an evocative lyric). Along w/ 
'Burnie', I think of it as one of the first of their more sentimental &/or 
introspective songs that became more common from BSM on ('One Country', 
'Antarctica', 'In the Valley', etc.)

Cheers,                            Dave

>>Hey guys,

>>the idea to write such an undescribably weird song.  But none the less I 
>>still like it because I don't think there is one Oils song I don't like.  
>>Anyways...I was just wondering what other people thought was by far the 
>>weirdest Oils that they have ever heard and why.
