FEATURED THIS MONTH
Happy as a Fly
The song that launched the band is now uploaded, 15 years after the clear vinyl 7" record was released. Played in London, France, and your underpants, this addictive pop/rock classic was a college radio hit and saw some air time on 105.5fm, the legendary Matt Pinfield's 106.3fm, and every mom's Minivan! During every live show, at least one joker would yell, "Play Happy as a Fly!" Song Trivia: bbarry wrote this song in 1992 in his High School cafeteria after John came up with the guitar hook. When bbarry asked him what he thought the song was about, John said, "I don't know...happy as a fly."
The Slaw Abduction
A frightening tale of alien abduction unfolds in this Jewel classic. When played live, a cast of aliens would storm through the audience and on to the stage - much to the delight (and amazement) of the crowd.
God
Previously titled "Turkey," the lyrics to God were written in Big Blue Meenie's old Hackensack studio by a slightly inebriated Miller and bbarry. Producer: John Underwood/Joe Darone of Fiendz & Suit of Lights
Slum
A sight to see LIVE, Slum is TFJ's razzling tribute to the homeless.
Socks on the Line
One of the first songs TFJ performed LIVE, Socks is a touching and heartwarming treat, especially to those who enjoy movies like The Notebook or Bridges of Madison County. Grab a box of Kleenex and press play.
Chickenman From Atlantis
A staple at every TFJ show, who knows where the Chickenman is today. Perhaps chillin' with a spliff. What we do know is his message of peace and love to the nth degree lives on - right here at The Family Jewels extra music site.
TFJ, Do a sommersault while chewing tobacco and urinating...we can..meaning us, the disbanded band, in synch, not the band, meaning us, at the same time, simultaneously, flipping, chewing,and pissing. You can't? Then buy a record and kill yourself. i'm kidding..just buy a record. I think I'm done now. Until next time.

Lets see...I would love to hear some "#9 is assinine" I loved that frigin song. Theres no way someone has the very first performance of TFJ on video anymore? If you do I would kill to get it. My wife would laugh her ass off. Reunion Show anyone????
Frankenstien...Does it exist anywhere on tape, or do I have only my fading memories to console me and remind me?
Why make records WHEN YOU CAN MAKE TACOS!!!!!!
I'm convinced, if we ever do another record, we rerecord all the basement tapes using the roland/boss dr550 in the old big blue house on the Tascam all the way. Guaranteed success!
How P-Funk/Talking heads is Hair Party??lol and I never listened to them till after that record was made. Wierd. One of the best TFJ songs, hands down.
