Foggy G, "The Songs That Were Played," We're Only In It For The Touring

1968: This amusing little '50's piece- reminiscent of some of the greasier Ruben tunes- consists of your typical cheesy love music accompanied by a painfully high Roy Estrada falsetto. The music is simple, and the lyrics consist of two verses, the first of which contains the words "in the sky" sung over and over, and the second of which contains the words "all night long" sung over and over. The final line, a brilliant combination of the two verses, consists of the words "in the sky, all night long". Simple, to the point, and hilariously entertaining.
