Flavor Bar is not exactly, umm, high art (well....), but it is chock full o' ass-rumbling goodness. As for the lyrics, we swear we're not talking about sex. The title Flavor Bar comes from a line in The Simpson's Treehouse of Horror IV. In the song, "Bitte, baby" is of course a reference to the classic film, Blazing Saddles. And when Mayor Mike is talking about his Knob, he means the Intensity knob on our Roland Space Echo (see below). What did you think he meant? Really??? Y'all need to get your minds out of the gutter....

The Music
This is what happens when Beaker brings his Roland Space Echo over to the studio. In fact, I think there's a rule in the Official Musician's Handbook that says "When presented with the Roland RE-201 Space Echo, you must immediately write a dub song." We even went one step beyond for extra credit and used Ohmforce's OhmBoyz, our favorite software filter/delay, on the drum kit (with nods to Stewart Copeland - check out Walking on the Moon). Which leads to the question, can you really ever have enough dub delays? We think not.
