Song Notes: The Captain Howdy was one of Penn Jillette's bands (also Bongos, Bass And Bob -- he was the bass), and this is a cover of the old Burt Bacharach and Hal David song. I think today, most people might be most familiar with the Naked Eyes version, but this one is really awesome. A little Residential, which makes sense, considering Penn Jillette's connections with that band. A little bit of a sinister, spoken delivery to the lyrics. It's one I haven't actually heard in forever. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think Kramer was basically the other member of the band. Maybe Gary Stockdale was in the band, too? I don't remember. I know Kramer was. I think it was just him and Penn, though. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
