anyone have a live version of coconut cream, it has to be one of their greatest songs to not be played anymore, and my personal favorite.

Methinks you may be in the minority loving this song, as some around here have called it "filler"; I'm being kind.

However, I'll join you in loving this tune--love the cut out at the end, love the lyrics, production, etc.

Saw it live at the Landmark in Syracuse on the TATH tour way back when. Sweet show!

Anyway, let me dig around in the vaults and see if I can find anything.

More soon.

OK---I'll be charitable---what's so great about Coconut Cream? Explain.

I also think its one of the best. I just love the "fuzzyness" of the song. It has a neat vibe, not to sure on the "take-off" part at the end, but truly one of my favorites. Just my pennies.

For some god-awful reason, I really get off on this song. Quite a different vibe for the band....cool ending...blue angels and all..

I realize that the song is about getting off in a group, but I don't think we needed to know that you were one of them; and although, like most guys, I like making blue angels as much as the next guy, I thought that activity was reserved for the cottage - and what happens at the cottage, stays at the cottage.

EdenMusicfest, 1996 July, Mosport International Raceway, Clarington Ontario, they played it.

I don't get it. Is it satire? I almost don't want to think a lyricist of Gord's stature meant it literally...

The lyrics are usually cited as the reason most people hate it, ironically, folks take those lyrics at face value while dissecting every other song.

The openning riff is gold, and the guitar work is great throughout. I really like the song.
