John-O, thanks so much for being one of the first people to buy the CD, and thank you for the review!

I think you and Edwin (Rama Lama), who wrote Rob Roy, are on the same wavelength when it comes to ordering Rob Roys.

"Tassel Hassle" (written by me) is our idea of a burlesque bump and grind song, if Vic Mizzy tried to hijack the pit band halfway through the act. I like the idea of a Tassel Castle though--maybe featuring burlesque performers who start out in armor entering over a drawbridge.

Rosann (Puka von Pele) is the author of Theme from "Belly Dancers of Bali Bali." And it's one of the titles that movie star Ginger Grant (of "Gilligan's Island") cited as her most famous movies. Puka then threw in the names of some of the more obscure actresses who played jungle girls in movies of the 1940's and 1950's (bypassing the obvious ones like Dorothy Lamour, Yvonne DeCarlo, Maria Montez and Aquanetta)--thus the mentions of Carol Thurston, Julia "Nabonga" London, etc.

Needless to say, "False Idols Put a Curse on You" was inspired largely by the work and viewpoint of BigBroTiki.
