Track 14 has Valerie Marchesi on bass.
Track 5 is my update of the Clash song (by Strummer/Jones), here’s some Wiki info about the original: “The song was originally titled “I’m So Bored with You”, a song written by Mick Jones […] the change came about by Strummer mishearing the song’s title when Jones played it to him during their first meeting[…] The band’s early recordings […] include the song in its original form. […]The intro to the song is a variant on the intro to “Pretty Vacant” by the Sex Pistols.”
Regarding Track 11, sometimes Peter Stampfel tells me to write a song and I do, this time he performed a scrap of this old polka song and asked me to write new lyrics for it. A bit of online research currently shows that the original song Peter played was titled “Tic-Tock Polka” [sic] first released by Frankie Yankovic and His Yanks in 1950 (no relation to Weird Al), and apparently the Frankie Yankovic song that Peter was covering was written by R. J. Martino and Stanley Guski, which furthermore is apparently adapted from Tic-tì-tic-tà written by Gaetano Lama and Francesco Feola. So this is my version of Peter’s version of Frankie’s version or Martino & Guski’s version of Lama & Feola’s “Tic-tì-tic-tà”. Hope that doesn’t put me in legal trouble!
And speaking of legal trouble, Track 15 is based on the original 1983 song credited to Jon Moss, Mikey Craig, Roy Hay, Phil Pickett and Boy George.
