about

Drop Control gigged once a month if we were lucky, and splurged on studio time now and then. We worked at a number of studios but got our best results with Jeff at Double Time. Seven years later I’m still there.

lyrics

I saw a horserace
After you made us promise not to see anymore
We snuck out in the darkness
Wearing our overcoats
To wait in line for the horserace

(oh mama the horsie gotta run
oh mama the horsie gotta run
oh mama the horsie gotta run
pretty mama the horsie gotta run)

We were so excited
Anticipation in the great crowd
Surging and stuff as one
The race then began
We honestly saw a horserace

(oh mama the horsie hadda run
oh mama the horsie hadda run
oh mama the horsie hadda run
pretty mama the horsie hadda run)

On reflection
The whole thing was actually most disappointing
The thrill was in disobeying
Not waiting in line
Or seeing a simple horserace

I have been a huge fan of the great MIKE KENEALLY for many years. He is such a brilliant talent! I’m really really enjoying the latest MFTJ album a great deal. “What Wally Thinks” and “I Remember When Candy Bars Were A Nickel” respectively are a perfect one-two punch to open up an album! I’ll be enjoying this one for a long long time!! Danny Cavazzi

This recording makes a great workout companion! All tracks exercise my mind while I'm power walking the hills where I live in Massachusetts. Keeps the feet moving for my daily 3 miles. Thank you MFTJ and all Keneally music. rondidonato
