This is a great closing track to wrap up the album AND the last season of Listener's Guide for 2023. Hope you've had fun! Now please leave. But come back soon!

You're going to hear a lot about two things in this one: how beautiful and masterful this song is, and whirly tubes. 

Take a trip with us back to the heyday of pop music in the 1960s, but without all the racism! 

Surprise, surprise: more Super Mario music talk. But you wouldn't guess we'd go there if you've heard this song, so it's actually really interesting if you think about it.  

Coconuts, Bob Wills, Van Dyke Parks - it's a regular variety show in this episode about the seventh track from Bob Cummins Jr.'s second album. 

Thanks to Benjamin Spike Saunders for appearing on this song and also for not suing the label for all the bad British accents that appear in this episode. 

Here's a beautiful discussion about a beautiful song from a beautiful boy. We get into how a song that didn’t make the Shakewelle cut reappeared on Good American Songbook. Get to it! Side B of the podcast picks up in a few weeks. See you then!

Synth heads take note: in this episode you'll hear about when a lot of synthesizers become too many and the art of arrangement. Mangia!
