The Escaped Fetal Pigs - "Oompa Loompa Love"
This is from the tv show Musical Mayhem. Jimmie Frederick taped the show at The Good Tymes Pub in Bowling Green, Ohio USA in the Fall of 1991. "Oompa Loompa Love" was one of our last "hits" (meaning it got played on the local college radio station and live audiences liked it). Sadly, it never got put on an album, which back then meant we never put it on a self-released cassette. The band had plans to make a new cassette, but we never got it together enough to do so. The recording of the song that got played on the radio was a demo Mark did all by himself. Obviously, he was inspired by his love of the movie Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. In the song, the Oompa Loompas rebel and try to find some love. This was another fun song to play even though I really didn't have much to do during it. I was gradually learning guitar at this point, but didn't play it much live with The Pigs. In subsequent bands, I would usually sing and play guitar or just play guitar. It was kind of fun in The Pigs to just sing even if it was just silly songs about manufacturing chocolate love dolls.
