about
This song is pure beatnik Crumbs with it's lurchy free for all breakdown completely derailing the songs punky beginning. Bottle it, maybe you get ‘Eau de Crumb’. A song about Mayo Thompson’s time as a studio assistant to pop artist Robert Rauschenburg in the 1970s. Rauschenburg was known partly for his unlikely juxtapositions or ‘combines’, like a goat wearing a tyre.
lyrics
I was sitting in Europe, in '73
Summertime in old Paree
And then one day in front of the gallery,
Robert Rauschenburg!
My wife knew him from New York, a bit
We got to talk, he invited us in.
Pretty soon I wound up working for him,
Robert Rauschenburg!
In proving oneself handy, at this and that
opportunity knocks, rap, rap, rap
So when we got home from old New York
I called up Bob and I asked for a job!
Because... I can do that...I can do that...I can do that..I can do that - I can do that!
Walking the dog, doing dry cleaning,
almost anything that old Bob needed.
It was a miracle, working for him- Robert Rauschenburg!
I picked up a camera, I finished his film,
I got it from a guy who was terminally ill.
It was a miracle, working for him- Robert Rauschenburg!
Robert Rauschenburg! Robert Rauschenburg! Robert Rauschenburg!
