Lizard Licks his Eyeballs

Post by steveo_1965 »

A line from a Burt ditty from the Geico commercial...I'm wondering if Burt completed this tune....or if it is just fragmented....I'm sure the lyrics are probably incomplete..I'm wondering if he wrote a complete melody for it.

The funny thing about that commercial is that I dig the tune.

And you notice how Burt struggles with those last notes. Can you imagine a singer like Dionne performing it?

And, of course, Burt's inimitable piano styling.

He's the best!

I have it on good authority that it's an inside joke within the Band.

More I cannot say.
