Two of those songs I've never heard in any form (Balloons, House at Top of Tree) and another two I've only heard on DAS (Grocery Bag, Bed Bed Bed Bed ). I almost like this album better than "Mink Car". (Nothing against Mink Car) But wait a second! There are some other tunes that I thought were destined for "No!" ... like "Monsters of Mud", "Clowntown" and maybe even "Shooting Star". Was it just my assumption that they would be on "No"? What kid wouldn't love "Monsters of Mud"?!?!? Its one of my favorites of the UnLtd tracks. scratch wrote: > No!

I can understand why it was negative. Who were these people who were asked? Fans? Record execs? I find Violin to be much weirder. In fact what does it have to do with kids? By the way, while listening to "Violin" I finally "got" the "George Washington's head" thing. If the rest of the song has some kind of meaning, don't tell me.

When I heard "Monsters of Mud", for the first time I instantly assumed it was a "No" track. Why? Three reasons: 1) Kids love mud 2)Kids love monsters 3) It seems to have a some kind of hygiene message to it. I can't imagine this song not being released on a real CD. Can you?

Could be, but I'm thinking since he also wrote Unchained Melody, which has to be among the most played songs ever, he probably thinks his work is worth more than it is. > When I heard "Monsters of Mud", for the first time I instantly assumed it was a "No" > track.
