Who doesn't love a good parody record? Presenting Bruce Springstone. The Flintstones theme as done by Bruce Springsteen. A fun record poking fun at the master of honest stories of working people as told by rich rock stars.
Bruce Springstone - Live at Bedrock Featuring (Meet The) Flintstones
I especially love the spoken preamble.
I remember,
I remember when I was just a kid
Growin' up on them backstreets, in an old stone-age town
I used to come home at night from my job,
I had a job flippin' dino burgers
I'd see the quarry, it'd be just closing down by then
Little bird up on the pole,
He's screaming out how the working day's over
And I'd see them dinosaurs,
They'd be herding out through the gates
And the workers,
They'd be giving them cars a running start with their fat little feet
Now, so, so one night I'm crossing the alley
And I see this one worker coming home to his little stone hut
And I seen the lady's lunch pail by the door,
And he calls out to his wife,
"Hey Wilma! I'm home, honey
The B-Side is that American Anthem - Take Me Out to The Ball Game. Illustration shows Bruce sliding into base holding his guitar which would have an amazing sound if played.
