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:

    He believes without reservation that Kentucky is the garden spot of the world, and is ready to dispute with anyone who questions his claim. In his enthusiasm for his State he compares with the Methodist preacher whom Timothy Flint heard tell a congregation that “Heaven is a Kentucky of a place.”
    —For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    I may be smelly and I may be old,
    Rough in my pebbles, reedy in my pools,
    But where my fish float by I bless their swimming
    And I like the people to bathe in me, especially women.
    Stevie Smith (1902–1971)

    They gathered up the crystal manna to freeze
    Their tongues with tasting, their hands with snowballing;
    Or rioted in a drift, plunging up to the knees;
    Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
