Zumpano - “Orange Air” (B-side, “Wraparound Shades” 7-inch; 1994)

Via Behind the Beehive…:

Originally Appeared as the B-side of the “Wraparound Shades” 7”, released on Sub Pop (SP 286). Also found on the Japanese Pressing of “Goin’ Through Changes.”

Fucking Zumpano. They knew how to rock then some Jimmy Webb. So hard. Sublime.

And, here’s some toots that made me want to post this.

And, here’s the probably more famous (but also awesome) version of “Orange Air” from the deeply underrated 5th Dimension.

And, courtesy of Chairman Jimmy himself, here’s a quickie 5-line lesson in enjambement:

I remember kissing her
that sad last night
through the screen
so hard I had a
checkered mouth and nose.

Boom.

Jesus, I love rock music.
