Transmission 4515 ~ Tastes Like Chicken!


We wing our way thru the Archives with my long-time wing-man and musical foil, Johnny Morrison in the wings. Other than than that, there are no other wing references at all - just finger lickin' good sounds from Thunderclap Newman, Big Star, Todd Rundgren, Grand Funk, Frank Zappa & The Mothers, Steely Dan, The Beatles, Raspberries, Crack The Sky, Teddybears, Eric Johnson, Muddy Waters and (Small) Faces.

* Intended to be a Yoko solo release, she and John concluded the recording sessions for "Walking On Thin Ice" on December 8, 1980 during which he added his impressive lead guitar (his final creative act). It was upon their return from the recording studio that Chapman fired a shot still heard around the world. Lennon was clutching a tape of a final mix when he murdered. It was released at the end of January 1981 as a single and became Ono's first chart success, peaking at # 58 in the US and gaining major club/underground airplay. I remember playing it on WBCN, Boston and at SPIT, where the crowd danced to it enthusiastically. The song and Yoko remain a RFW favorite!


"Walking on thin ice,
I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air.
Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with your heart?
I gave you my knife,
You gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair.
Why do we forget what's been said
And play the game of life with your hearts?
Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...
Ooh-ahooh...
Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...
I may cry some day,
But the tears will dry whichever way.
And when our hearts return to ashes,
It'll be just a story,
It'll be just a story."

*During WWII, Unidentified Flying Objects were dubbed "foo fighters" because of a popular comic strip at the time, Smoky Stover drawn by cartoonist Bill Holman. The character of Smoky was fond of saying "Where there's foo there's fire" and the objects seem to be fiery, rounded shapes. By 1944, the term "foo fighter" was used by radar operators to describe a return on the radar screen of an object that might or might not actually exist. Soon air crews were also using the term to describe the strange objects they were seeing.
