Fun cover. I like it as part of the Diver Down experience.

I like it. I like happy trails too. Nothing wrong with throwin' a little humor in with a couple of novelty songs. I like to puzzle the neighbors by blaring Happy Trails every so often.

It was always a drunken sing-a-long when Diver Down was on the boom box at parties, which it always was.

Hell no, it was the beginning of Lounge Lizard Roth, except I think Eddie's Dad was on the record or something.

Good stuff. Diver Down is a pretty solid album as long as you go in without high expectations.

Hell yes - good track. Not sure anyone else could have pulled this off. Who else's dad played clarinet? Let's start with that!
