about

"Sue The Chimp" There was a "complainer" amongst the session musicians at Piety Street Recording. He would get wound up about the way he'd been treated by some band leader or a club owner or another musician. It was always something and he'd punctuate his puelling with the phrase " I outta sue the chimp". This stuck and I made a song . This song is not about anyone named Sue, no real person is portrayed here. James Alsanders hits the slow Popeye drum feel. Anthony Cuccia adds to the percussion and also plays his modular synth. Carol Berzas on the high operatic vocal. What genre is this in case Spotify asks? I couldn't tell you.
"Sue the chimp will bring a hurt that does not have a name".

lyrics

from the depths of some kindred hell
a virtual power slam
the fiber of retribution lasts a lifetime
being the target, there's no solution
gotta keep on the run

cause Sue the chimp will bring a hurt
that does not have a name
Sue the chimp will bring a hurt
that does not have a name

Sue the chimp has a very big gun
it shoots through the ozone into the stars
finding victims and rendering toast
human croutons and for this, I can boast
I have escaped the wrath of Sue The Chimp

the Skidmore prostitutes and the lawyers by the pool
they wanna give you pills
they wanna stop the pain
bounce from thought to thought bounce from thought to thought
it's blarney, it's a curse

cause Sue the chimp will bring a hurt
that does not have a name
Sue the chimp will bring a hurt
that does not have a name

will we end up in prison for not having proper ID?
with Sue the chimp in a sleeper cell no telling what's in store for me

she's been alive for 2 centuries and there's no end in sight
hibernating for decades in the deep
so beware
slowly they sank into the sea
laurel and hardy
charlie Chaplin
Sue the chimp took em out with a hatpin

cause Sue the chimp will bring a hurt
that does not have a name
Sue the chimp will bring a hurt
that does not have a name
