Song titles

Well,

PLUMP has been working on some new songs, and re-working some old ones. As I am sure every one knows, the most important aspect of any song is the title. One of our new songs is called Varmint Poontang, after the famous quote by Bill Murray in Caddyshack: "The only good varmint poontang is dead varmint poontang". That song was almost called "Bejesus Belt", after another famous quote by Bill Murray in Caddyshack: "The great thing about this stuff is, you can play 36 holes on this grass, and then take some home and get stoned to the bejesus belt." When PLUMP has a three hour practice, typically 10 minutes is spent playing music, and 2 hours and 50 minutes are spent building a case for, and then having a high-spirited (and frankly sometimes a profanity-laden) debate on the merits and fine points of Varmint Poontang vs. Bejesus Belt for a song title.

Also, we have another new song in which Andrew was the primary writer, and as such he gets veto power regarding the song title. Andrew wanted to name the song Aslan (our second C.S. Lewis reference as a song title for those of you keeping score) and I wanted to name the song either "Coitus" or "You mean Coitus?" from the Big Lebowski. Andrew held firm. I offered a compromise, asking the the song be titled Aslan (you mean Coitus?). Alas, I was denied again. SO, the moral of the story is, it would not be inappropriate for you to come to PLUMP shows and scream out requests for Varmint Poontang and Aslan.
