Chunky! From ChalkZone!

by Bill Burnett

Please click here for LYRICS

Since the Rolling Stones are in the Mine this week over in SongTalk, I thought I'd answer their grown-up debauchery with an display of childhood debauchery, a song revelling in overindulgence in peanut butter from Rudy and the ChalkZone Gang.  That's the voices of Candi Milo as Snap, EG Daily as Rudy, Hynden Walch as Penny and Jess Harnell and me as support.  Get Chunky!

Am I Coming on Too Strong LIVE!

This song was one of the mainstays of the Boner's repertoire for years.  We made the bed costume for "Our Show" which we performed proudly in NYC's Westbeth Theater.  The Bed and the Song have stood the test of time.  It's a strange tale of possession and obsession, kind of like Robert Altman's That Cold Day In the Park, in which Sandy Dennis captures and holds prisoner a young handsome homeless fellow--if that movie were written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

Here it is on the Say Hello With Mr. & Mrz. Burnett album, with the magnificent Artie Bressler on saxophone:

Suzy had just taken her bed off and was now ready to get down to some serious wailing.  This song--one of The Boners biggest hits--has eluded us in recording.  This performance is fun...not the definitive one probably but plenty to sink your teeth into!

Wherever you go, there you are...even in ChalkZone!  This is one of my favorites--like a Fleischer Cartoon, no?
