So I got my copy of Surf Explosão by The Dead Rocks yesterday and removed the incredibly sturdy and functional cardboard packaging with quaking hands and heart. After clawing through what seemed like 16 layers of plastic/tape/corrugation I finally held the hallowed disk carefully by it's edges.
Nervously I scanned the song titles looking for it, the song, my song Surf Man. Most of the titles are in Spanish with the exception of Johnny Crack Corn and Fingerboard. And and.... where is it? The last song is called Sugar Man which is close sorta but no cigar. Close enough that i probably misread the dang thing on Discogs and so my hopes for Surf Man oblivion for the night have been, obliterated.
I don't even play the stupid thing. It lay on my dining room table like an abandoned carp carcuss- swollen with enough tainted meat to feed a family of 5 but no one brave enough to give it a try.

I'm guessing the song titles are in Portuguese since the band is from Brazil.

Off topic - Once on holiday, my Dad was walking along a beach in Cyprus with my Mum. It was a nice long walk which took them through a nudist colony. My Dad, being the dreamer he is, didn't notice, but my Mum did and kept quiet about it. When they had passed through back to the clothed area, my Mum told him and he did the whole "British" embarrassment thing of blushing, stammering and not knowing where to look...
...she thought it better not to mention until later that he also had a condom stuck to one of his shoes...

So that's why my Spanish translator didn't work! Keeping America ugly.

Well math and foreign languages never were my best subjects. Can I say that 7 of the song titles are in languages that do not appear to be English? I would employ you guys as fact-checkers but I'm afraid I'd go broke!
