The Spot / Smelly Tongues

The Spot / Smelly Tongues

"The Spot" was the debut release of Snakefinger on Ralph Records in 1978. Snakefinger, a long-time friend and collaborator of The Residents, was encouraged by the group to record his own material for their label. The Residents co-produced the single, performing backing instrumentation, and the b-side "Smelly Tongues" is a cover version of a song from the Residents' first album, Meet The Residents. Convinced that "The Spot" would be a resounding commercial success, Ralph pressed 35,000 copies of the 7" record on translucent blue vinyl.

Famous quotes containing the words spot, smelly and/or tongues:

    Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery, if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just Tribute to the Memory of BOATSWAIN, a Dog.
    John Cam Hobhouse (1786–1869)

    Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    They say the tongues of dying men
    Enforce attention like deep harmony.
    Where words are scarce, they are seldom spent in vain,
    For they breathe truth that breathe their words in pain.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
