A track just in time for 4/20. I'm so fucking fun.

Exclusive early release for Soundcloud requested by Cheech.

The American Spirit Blues

Where they hung the jerk that invented work!

Drop some acid, get naked, hop on your bike and listen to this new release by Tree Danko from HappyFish Records and Studio 3!

Originally recorded in Milwaukee Wisconsin in 2012, this vintage track has been reworked and recovered from the deep-cut archives.
Tree Danko on Banjo, Vocals and Jaw Harp
Matt Weincek on Guitar
Farahj (RIP) on high vibes.

This recording is special to me personally due to the fact that Farahj can be heard encouraging Matt and I to play our best take of this famous country song. Our friend passed away just 2 days later due to heroin overdose. At the end of the song he is heard laughing happily, and that is how I remember him.

Harry McClintock claims to have written this song in 1895 but this is widely disputed. Many believe this song, or aspects thereof have existed for much longer.

Leave me some love, comments, fire and all that jazz!!!

Lyrics:
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch,
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch, 
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch, 
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch, 
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole! 

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You have termites in your smile,
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch,
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile! 

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch, 
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch,
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote, 
"Stink, stank, stunk"! 

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch, 
You're the king of sinful sots, 
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch, 
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful 
Assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots! 

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch, 
With a nauseous super "naus"! 
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked horse, Mr. Grinch, 
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

PREMATURE EVACUATION
2018 - KALAPANA HAWAII LAVA TIME MUSIC

Brother Nature's Premature Evacuation (Live)

Official Original Live Unabridged Version of...
'Every Time i Try Improv(It Just Flops)

Tree Danko - Banjo & Vocals
Matt Wiencek - Guitar & Vocals

Tree Lyrics:
When you look up there you see those UFOs are flying there
And they're up there and disguise themselves as trees and the birds
You know you got two or three men comin' down here sure they've seen something
Quiet; gotta play in that closet with the monsters!

You know you will begin, you will be Frank you will be thin and not all fucked up...
Matt is over there on his guitar - he's playing all around and he's blowing up.
Spiritual divinity, is a good answer.
The squirrel he falls and he dies right there and then.
He's going down and he's falling at, 8 meters per second... like anything else.

I threw a piece of paper off the, Sears Tower and it, fell with a thump!
It went down there land on the freeway on a Police Officer
I said "Hey man, fuck you! - You shouldn't have been standing there"
Trip, I'm the Honkey....

"Don't you see the sign it says No Falling" said the cop.
I told him technically it didn't fall you see, it just flopped.
He ground me with force - "I got no remorse don't throw me in jail!"
He said if you look over there and you see the electric chair you'll find (an example)

Matt Lyrics:
A hearse came, a hearse came,
Ah you know I'm truckin' southbound
Now she's gone - ain't no doubt about it.
Lord I'm going places I ain't never gone
I know I know I know -
I know I know I know -
I know I know I know -

And every time I try to look into your little eyes
I see your flower blooming like a full blown cocoa vine.
Every time I try, every time I try I can't seem to get you off my mind.
Every time I try, every time I try I can't seem to get you off my mind.

Tree: Thank you Drew, Thank you Drew, get yourself some, get yourself some, get yourself some shelter.

Matt: Now get on time to forget your name, it's all the same.
Now get on time to forget your name, it's always the same.
