This day in music history.
May 9, 1978, Lead singer Fee Waybill of the Tubes falls off the stage during a show in England. The incident happens during the recording of the concert LP "What Do You Want From Live?", while Waybill was acting out his punk character Johnny Bugger. Fee broke his leg in the fall and the remainder of the tour was cancelled.
What Do You Want From Life? by The Tubes
What do you want from life
To kidnap an heiress or threaten her with a knife
What do you want from life
To get cable TV and watch it every night
There you sit
a lump in your chair
Where do you sleep and what do you wear when you're sleeping
What do you want from life
An Indian guru
to show you the inner light
What do you want from life
a meaningless love affair
with a girl that you met tonight
How can you tell when you're doin' alright
Does your bank account swell While you're dreaming at night
How do know when you're really in love
Do violins play when you're touching the one That you're loving
What do you want from life
Someone to love and somebody that you can trust
What do you want from life
To try and be happy while you do the nasty things you must
Well, you can't have that,
but if you're an American citizen
you are entitled to
a heated kidney shaped pool, a microwave oven--don't watch the food cook, a Dyna-Gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home, a king-size Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum, a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi, real simulated Indian jewelry, a Gucci shoetree, a year's supply of antibiotics, a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number, a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick, Rosemary's baby, a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams, a new Matador, a new mastodon, a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego, a Merc Montclair, a Mark IV, a meteor, a Mercedes, an MG, or a Malibu, a Mort Moriarty, a Maserati, a Mac truck, a Mazda, a new Monza, or a moped, a Winnebago--Hell, a herd of Winnebago's we're giving 'em away, or how about a McCulloch chainsaw, a Las Vegas wedding, a Mexican divorce, a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot, or a baby's arm holding an apple?
