Once, I went to hear them play at a club outside of town.
I was so surprised, I was hypnotized by the sound this
cat s puttin down.
When I saw this short, fat guy stretch a band between
his toes.
Hey, I laughed so hard cause the man got down when he
finally reached his goal.

Hey, y all prepare yourself for the Rubberband..Man.
