Yasmin,
When the Oils first started showcasing upcoming tracks from =
"Capricornia" in Feb/ Mar 2001,  Pete sang the first line of "Too much =
Sunshine"  as "Haven't had so much fun since my daddy took the T-bird =
away", followed by something, something,"naked day fricassee".  After =
one of the shows I grabbed a lyric sheet from the stage and posted the =
contents to the list. Then the next night the roadies were very diligent =
to remove all such material from the stage, very obviously to prevent =
unreleased / uncopyrighted material from being released to the public at =
large. Perhaps somebody else saw the same similarity to the Beach Boys =
lyrics and bought it to the band's attention.
Just my two cents worth.
Cheers,
Richard
Listening to "Redneck Wonderland" and reminiscing as the weather turns =
warmer in Sydney and facing the prospect of another Australian summer =
without seeing the Oils. BooHoo!

  I always thought this might be a reference to the Beach Boys' song Fun =
Fun Fun which includes the line "and she'll have fun fun fun till her =
daddy takes the t-bird away"=20
  what do you think, powdies?

    He says V8 - as in reference to a car with an eight cylinder motor.

      Sorry to bother,  but I was wondering..

      =20

      In Capricornia, on track number 2, Peter sings "Haven't had so =
much fun since my dad took the 'VA' away..."

      =20

      Is that really VA what he says? If that is true, what does it =
stands for?

      =20

      Thanks a bunch!

      =20

      Carlos.
