A very cool track and what an interesting fact!  Bravo!

Great song idea! Funky and thought provoking.

fun song - Tail Spikes deserve proper songs!

funny Story and excellent telling of it Dan:)

I like the beat and rhythm. sort of the relentless forward march of science and knowledge in all  glory..I have to say I am glad you included baby boomers

[First of all=>Enormous & Tremendous 💋THANKS, Dan, for all your 🥇listening to my tracks! Holy 4-stomachs stretching full equivalent in top grazing cow!!!!!!!]  I love the voice to this...  There's this reminiscent type of Pink Floydian magnetism present in the directional styling of this clever concept!  I'm glad I got to dig up the 8-month-old sonic relic & examine the thermalized layered bits! Historical lyrics to relish! Just award winning!  Congratulations!  The freshness of this track is an infinite iconic structure!  🔁💯💯💯😎🎯

Thagomizer

Verse 1:
Yes it seems such a shame
The stegosaurus tail had no name

So the scientists they did it
They used the joke and admit it

Chorus:
So it became the thagomizer

Verse 2:

The name became a chorus
For the spikes of the stegosaurus

Named after a joke on the Far Side
And that isn’t the dark side

Chorus:

Verse 3:
Yes Paleobiology has the thagomizer
It came on the scene like a geyser

Proof that scientists have a some humor
Even those that are baby boomer(s)

Dear SoundCloud friends.  This is the place where I locate my country, bluegrass, folk, jazz, and blues oriented songs:  roots music.  You will find this music rougher and not as polished as the music I place elsewhere.  This is where I will host music with a more wooden feel.  As always I am very interested in collaborating with my fellow musicians.

I encourage you to visit the sites of the musicians with whom I have collaborated on this page:
