Wailin' with
the Woggles enabled the
band to play Europe for the
first time in late 1998. A video
for "Ramadan Romance" shot at
the Star Bar in Atlanta GA got
a lot of airplay overseas, primarily
on the German video show "Viva"
and later MTV Europe. Unfortunately,
rock and roll's return had yet
to be heralded by the British
music press and One Louder shortly
went out of business. However,
the Woggles have made it back
once a year to Europe ever since.
The original liner notes contain
descriptions/comments from each
of the band members. Below are
just the MP3 available songs:
Ramadan Romance
Having a psychotic reaction
to the incantations of a belly-dancing
Phoenician enchantress, I dream
I'm stumbling headlong down
a steep-faced, sun-baked monster
dune of desert sand. Heat sweltering,
lips cracking, throat thirsting
for just one sip of her cool,
cool water. That oasis on the
horizon? Just a mirage full
of dancing heat monkeys conjured
by the sun's reflection off
the cellophane of an empty pack
of non-filtered Camels tossed
aside by some wadi-bashing eco-tourist
on holiday.- Dan Electro
Tear Me Down
Who stomped first? Was it the
Dave Clark Five with "Bits and
Pieces" or Honey Lantree and
her boys on "Have I the Right?".
Well, whoever it was (my money's
on Meek) it's these songs that
are in part the inspiration
for that size eleven boot print
of a beat you hear. From which
I hope to prove that it's not
who stomped first, but who stomped
loudest. In this frame of mind
we offer to you "Tear Me Down".-
Buzz Hagstrom
