  • The Laptop Sessions: “Crazy Life” (Toad the Wet Sprocket Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

    Saturday, July 19th, 2008

    By Jeff Copperthite:

    Welcome to your Saturday night fever edition of The Laptop Sessions!  Today I bring you another return engagement with a band previously featured on the sessions, and it is a great song.

    The band is Toad the Wet Sprocket (and again, don’t ask - I’m not too sure where that name came from either), and today I am covering another song from their final album “Coil” (well, I should now say their most recent release) called “Crazy Life”.  It is a simple, yet catchy tune with a great strum pattern.  The lyrics are quite interesting and I still have not fully understood what they mean.  There are a few historical references you’ll hear though.

    It is appropriate that I am doing this song today.  I really had a “Crazy Life” kinda day, where I ejected only my 2nd coach in my 2 year umpiring career.  It takes a lot to get to me, and if you go onto my ejection list, you must’ve done something wrong.  Baseball coaches, if you are reading this, do not argue balls and strikes - unless you’re looking for an excuse to go home.

    I hope you enjoy today’s session, and I know you will be back to see Jim’s latest installment of the sessions.  We’re rolling along as usual!  Seeya next time!
