The "EEP OPP ORK AH-AH" song that was in >the Jetsons was not done by the Femmes. It was sung by Ralph Sall and ya i didn't think the femmes were fifty billion and two years old....but they are getting there....and i hate the overproduced guitar sound on the song freak magnet....(it eats a dick) i hope this folk festival stuff sparks ideas for an acoustic album... kyle kyle_souza ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sean Lennon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok, first off, nobody start like virtually kicking my ass for what i'm about to write, and nobody email me bitching at me because i have a difference of opinion from them, because everyone is entitled to their own opinion (mine's just the right one! j/k) i'm pretty sure someone said that sean lennon said he loved the femmes, and im not sure on this one, but i also thought someone said he said they were a major influence on him. personally i hope that I am SO WRONG that someone said that, because I saw the music video for some song of his (first time i've ever heard his music) and he SUCKS! as a femmes fan, i find it personally insulting that he tries to say that the femmes could in any way have influenced such shitty music. i mean yuck! hmm.. yea now im done. -Beky -Extatika ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
