    I love this song and have almost all of his VINYL albums. What a visionary with a huge sense of humor. RIP Michael

    I got to see him a few months before he died in Knoxville TN with Micky . They were great!! I had the time of my life. A very special night for me and my daughter. Rip Michael. Always in my heart.

      I think my mom went to that show, as well. She's always been a huge Nez fan. He was amazingly talented in so many ways.

      Yeah. One of the few people for whom I shed a tear. I'm glad I got to enjoy him live, but he left us the best of himself in Elephant Parts. Be sure to expose new generations to it, and keep NEZ alive forever! ;-)

    This was a huge hit in Australia in 1977 thanks to the famous music show "Countdown" & the afternoon rerunning of The Monkees t.v series, a great songwriter & musician, the music world is lesser without the great Mike Nesmith, Rest in peace.🙏 🎶🎸

      Yes I fully agree, I was in my teens when the song came out and living in Wagga Wagga and I loved watching the video whenever it came on TV and heard it on the radio. He was a pure master musician. from David Newton in Sydney.

      Australia definitely had strange taste whilst i was growing up here,i mean its not a bad song but #1 ? i was 9 when seeing this for the first time,the 70's in Australia definitely made some oddball songs recogniseable ,the Hustle was another strange success here,i could name a dozen songs that barely chartered in the U.S & Britain but were hits here,strange country alright,strange ppl.

      Yes. After all these years, I finally realize she is making a pun on the word "degenerate." But she didn't say "de" twice. She said, "...Rio, Rio deGENero."

    • @cherylhulting1301
      @cherylhulting1301 2 місяці тому

      The thing is, Nez wasn't a commercial songwriter. He was also a genre-hopper, as we see here. I honestly think his record companies didn't know how to promote him. It's a shame. Rolling Stone called his work with the First National Band "the best music you never heard." His work should have had wider recognition.
