Thanks, guys ... I wrote that song about a drummer I met in Texas ... he was fat, kind of oily and sort of toad-like ... but he had this terrific personality, total confidence, and was a natural with the ladies. He was juggling a few very good looking married women at the time ... he was the last guy you would be worried about your hot wife cheating with, I'll tell you that. I never talked about it with him but I got the impression he got a charge out of sleeping with the wives of better looking guys.
I wrote it for the Dead band I was playing with in Texas (he was not in the band), and this is a home demo of it with GD instrumentation (I'm playing everything on it). I like it better as a funkier acoustic tune, though.

As far as a CD ... yes, I am talking now with a couple of producers about making a record ... so, stayed tuned.
The words ... LOL
Face for Radio
I got a face for radio, you got a body made for sin
Open up your window, let me creep on in
Don't you tell your daddy, you let me inside
I ain't good looking baby, but I know just how to ride
One look in my eyes, you can see it's true
I got a face for radio
I got a face for radio
There's a shotgun in your kitchen, a camera on your roof
But there's no reason, baby, to be so damned aloof
While your husband he's out working, I got a job to do
Gonna rev up your motor, show you a thing or two
I know you got your reasons, let me tell you mine
It's cause I got a face for radio
I got a face for radio
Don't you worry about your neighbors, I'll slip in your basement door
One thing I can tell you, you'll have me coming back for more
It don't matter if you're ugly, you don't need a brand new car
You can walk around with a limp, you can have a big ol' scar
Your looks don't count for nothing, you don't have to try that hard
Even a blind hog finds a truffle in someone else's yard
I've been with a thousand women, I satisfy them too
It's cause I got a face for radio
I got a face for radio
