Before "Household Fly" there was ..

"The Hungry Intruder" by The Small Faces. Without a doubt, Steve, Ian, Kenney and Ronnie were more musically accomplished then Steve and Dave. But, the diminutive Mods' composition just can't hold a candle to the joie de vivre-infused, simple rustic tone of B.B. classic.

 Here am I, tiny fly
May I share your shepherd's pie?

What is this strange voice I hear?

Here I am, look this way
In the landscape on your tray

There's no need to ask a silly question
If I were you I hope you'd do the same
There's no doubt I'd help a hungry fly
To see you in a fix it's really such a shame

I'm so hungry. I could die
And now I'll be a living fly

My name is Stan, I'm on a quest
Take your fill, Take nothing less

I am that,  that am I
And now I'll be a living fly

• Other:  Elvis Grbac? St. Elvis of Munster? Elvis Stojko? Elvis Mitchell...?

A Message From Marion Morrison

See, I told you that I ran into John Wayne during my travels last week! This crude composite features a sighting from the Route 66 Museum in Barstow as well as the aforementioned Kernville Museum. Kernville, about 50 miles east of Bakersfield, is where many westerns were filmed in the 30s and 40s.

(And, for those who missed my Abbey pun,
George Hayduke was a founding  member
of the Monkey Wrench gang.
He measured driving distances not in miles,
but in the amount of beer required to make the trip.)
