Comments

Foggy G, "The Songs That Were Played," We're Only In It For The Touring

1970: Essentially performed as on "Freaks and Motherfu*#@%!" from Beat the Boots Volume I. This is one of those really poor choices that Frank makes every so often—letting Flo 'n' Eddie destroy this WOIIFTM classic. You do not realize how much you like, and appreciate, the original version of a song until you hear Flo 'n' Eddie destroy it. Shame on everyone involved.
