The King of the Bayou gettin' deposed.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Shouting Street and Gangsterville are legit good songs with god awful production and arrangements on this album. Gangsterville is the better song, so I vote Shouting Street.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I disagree re: Gangsterville being a good song. I'd need to hear one hell of a cover to convince me otherwise

Hoy is comforting in his wrongness, in that there is no universe where Gangsterville is better than Shouting Street.

Going Gangsterville. There's a good song there, but Shouting Street is legit without even squinting and Island Hopping is pure class.

I'm signing this off.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
