A very big Lizard Lounge song this is one of those songs that got the crowd all singing in unison even the extremely high notes which verge on the point of yodelling. Just the first few strums of the acoustic guitar would get the punters running to the dance floor before the drums brought the band in.
By 1993 the Lizard lounge was really firing on all cylinders, Initially it was a saturday only club but by the end of 1990 we had taken over Fridays as well. for this I brought in Ronny from Rubber Soul. We originally called the night Revolver, the follow up to Rubber Soul. It didn't really work until around 1993. By then lizard Lounge had added a free uni night on Thursday. God knows why they called them Uni nights. Full of students straight from cheap drinks at the Armadale Hotel. First we tried to charge but when that didn't work we reduced the price of beer and made it free. Then it went through the roof. Having two successful nights on either side Friday started to pick up to. So by 93 there queues outside very night. Itwas a very exciting time. Instead of the usual headphones I rigged up an old phone to cue tracks. Many times I had people come up and ask me why I was on the phone so many times.
