Typing this one up, I think I missed an opportunity to do a disc where all the songs had parentheses in their titles. I see four that wound up on here pretty much by accident, and it could have been neat to do that. Some other time, some other Timothology, I guess.
I see I put "Chug-A-Lug" and "Happy Hour" together, too. Possibly "Drinking and Driving" by the Business, Jimmy Gilmer's "Bottle of Wine" and other songs about boozohol could have been another disc theme. I seem to have discovered the secret graveyard of Timothology themes on this one.
Every time I listen to "Fire Brigade" I smile, imagining all the backup singers crowding around a mike to yell WEE OO WEE OO WEE OO WEE OO during the choruses.
