"...you're chuckin' mulligan stew"

Great song from a great album. I miss this band.

That is actually called "Prodical Son", they later changed the lyrics and of course the name of the song

Roger acts like he can't remember the words to whatever it's called...

I used to own that video, and loved watching it, but always wondered why that particular song was included because nothing happening made any sense...

you got it!

It's a good album, and the blues rock solos are a nice twist, but it doesn't hold a candle to Pleasure to Kill and Darkness Descends.

I asked the guys in Once Dead about this song a couple years ago, on UnDark forum and if I remember correctly they said the lyrics were a loose interpretation of the story of the Prodical Son, and there was not a lot of rehersal for the song, that Roger produced most of the lyrics on the spot.

They use to do that a lot. I sang three different songs on stage with Once Dead that I didn't really know the lyrics too. On one of them I did make up all the lyrics on the spot.

For some odd reason..... This has always been my favorite VR song. l

Always loved this song! Great solo work.

Brilliant slow sludgingly heavy metal.... Like a Metallica 'For Whom The Bell..' or 'the Thing That Should not be'

The music is great, but the lyrics are dumb. I've always thought that about this song though.
