Twangler Joined: Mar 26, 2006 Posts: 147	Posted on Jun 20 2006 12:22 AM ferenc I had heard they were working on a more completely realized take, with full orchestration, at the time of Rip's death. I'm curious to know how far along they had got with that. ferenc It's on the agenda but with Sticks welcoming a new tot last month and Trace responsible for another one due in October, I wouldn't expect anything in the near future. Keep your fingers crossed for '07. Spanky Top

Not only a great song but the narative knock's me out. Spanky "her hair as black as the socks of dirty Sanchez, the famous banditio from Mechico ..." or something along those lines, can't remember exactly. Los Plantronics from norway have spaggetti western and mariachi stuff as well. they play a great version of hang 'em high, it's on an album called 'columbian necktie'.

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19307 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Jun 20 2006 10:06 PM Araban: Six years I spent looking for her Six years of travelling through mountains and deserts, looking for the love I lost Araban, the most beautiful muchacha South of the Rio Grande The times I spent with her were the happiest of my life Her lips were as red as the Mexican catcus rose Her hair, as black as the socks from Sancho del Castile, the famous mendaho who stole from the rich and killed the poor The cleavage between her breasts was as deep as the cliffs from Acapulco One night she went outside to buy a pack of Caballeros, and I never saw here since What happened to her? Nobody saw her leave What happened to Araban? Nobody knew a thing What the hell happened to my beautiful baby? All those years that I travelled to find her trail she visited me in my dreams, every single night "Come and get me, come and get me" she whispers When she is about to tell me where she is, she vanishes, in a fog One bad day I crossed the red desert I drank too much mezcal and so did Burrito, my horse We stumbled and I fell I tried to hold on to a cactus But it was too late Days later I opened my eyes and found that I was in a hospital "Who's that over there?" I asked the doctor who took care of us "It's Senorita ...(a whole bunch of Spanish sounding names)... del Hogbath. She came in six years ago and she never spoke a word" But I knew better I recognized her body Those voluptuous curves "Araban" "Araban" And when she heard her name, she turned her head And her eyes were filled with tears... What's missing from this is the outrageous accent. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

Moon_Dawg Joined: Apr 22, 2006 Posts: 98 Fairfax, VA	Posted on Jun 21 2006 05:29 PM Sorry I missed this thread on the first go-round. Let's see, what can I add? All the current spaghetti-surf bands have been mentioned. Everything I know about Morricone is on this page, graciously hosted by Ferenc: http://www.pollodelmar.com/mart/morricone/index.html My reviews of a bunch of spaghetti soundtracks are on this page, graciously hosted by Jon Deadman: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jon.fagg/Dawg.htm. There's a current British band called Spaghetti West, but there stuff is more atmospheric than surf-like. Top

I just heard a very Spaghetti Western sounding song of theirs called Tin Star on Delvarsurf. Also not entirely spaghetti, but a great band, Surf Report has a song called Off the Richeter on Supersonic Salvation that is pretty Spaghetti sounding Jeff(bigtikidude) — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

teenage Joined: Nov 11, 2006 Posts: 14 San Diego, CA	Posted on Nov 21 2006 04:44 PM We (monsters from mars) have a couple spaghetti western-ish songs...one of them was on our last CD release called "The Long Ride Home". We just wrote another one that I think of as the theme to "A Fistfull of Dollars" meets "Gear" by Dave Myers and The Surftones...were going to be recording that one soon for our upcoming full length. — Scott http://www.monstersfrommars.com http://www.mysapce.com/scottwj Top
