2. Catapult Complex By Bernie Allen 2:59
It says on the sleeve of this record that it 'contains
elements of Breakfast In America'. That's putting it
mildly - if your Feeling-sized ears can stand it, this is
Supertramp given a group hip hop workover for the 21st
century.
And while that may sound pretty hideous, it's actually
quite enjoyable, as the foursome add lyrics of their own
to respond to the opening 'take a look at my girlfriend'
couplet. This girlfriend "even cooks me pancakes and
Alka-Selzer when my tummy aches". Sweet - and surely a
definition of true love!
And so it goes on in the same vein, the group
half-rapping, half-singing odes to the girl in question -
and harnessing the same catchy chorus as punctuation.
Surprisingly enjoyable - and will turn your girlfriend's
initial hint of a raised palm to a soft-hearted smile.
