This song was named after Possum Kingdom State Park, in Palo Pinto County, Texas.
The band formed in 1989. Toadies officially disbanded in 2001, although they had farewell concerts in 2002. The band reformed for a reunion show on March 11, 2006, headlining the Greenville Ave St. Patrick's Day parade concert.
Toadies toured extensively throughout the 1990s, opening for such artists as Red Hot Chili Peppers, White Zombie, Bush, and The Butthole Surfers. They also headlined and co-headlined tours with acts such as Brutal Juice, Baboon, Supersuckers, and The Reverend Horton Heat.
The primary reason for the breakup of the band was that Lisa Umbarger simply did not want to be a part of it anymore, and bandleader Todd Lewis felt that the band could not continue without her.
Since disbanding, members of the band have gone on to other projects. Todd Lewis is now in The Burden Brothers and Mark Reznicek is now in Eleven Hundred Springs.
Toadies reunited for 4 shows in Texas in March 2007. They played one show in Dallas, one in Houston, and two shows in Austin at Stubb's BBQ. All of the shows sold out shortly after they went onsale.
Toadies reunited for good in 2008, releasing their new album, "No Deliverance" on August 15th 2008.
In June 2010 it was announced that Feeler, the follow-up album to Rubberneck that was shelved by Interscope, would finally be seeing a release. Todd Lewis was quoted as saying: "Since there are unfinished versions floating around on the Internet, it is important to us that people hear it as we meant it to be." The album was released on July 20, 2010

Toadies Lyrics
Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side
I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret
I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah
Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus
I can promise you
You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin, forever
Forever
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I'll promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
(hey, hey, hey)
Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me!
Be my angel
Be my angel
Do you wanna die?
I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus

So you hold your index finger over strings 3,4,and 5 on the second fret. Bar it.
Then with your ring finger, hammer on the 3 fret on the B string or the 5th one down from the top.
And pull it off again.
Do this hammer on/off while you keep your index finger baring the 2nd fret A chord. This way the note goes from 3 to 2 back to the A.
So the shape is an A chord turning into a D chord and then back again quickly
Da Wurm
i don't give a fuck what anyone says... this is, without a shred of doubt, one of the absolute greatest alternative music videos from the entire 1990s.
just about every single shot of the band and crowd is remarkably cinematic, and the lighting on/around the stage area is utter perfection.
and on top of those significant qualities, even the little things, too, have outstanding artistry behind them if you pay attention — such as the brilliant decision to have one of the kids in the way back reach up and yank the cord to turn off that free-hanging lightbulb as the very final shot.
THAT'S how you make a truly great music video. Thomas Mignone was and is a goddamn genius 🙌
also, major shout out to whoever edited it as well cos everything was just cut together so super tightly and probably couldn't have been done any better

As a man in my thirties, I can honestly say, if I could've realized then that the 90s would fly by that fast I would've savored each moment a lot more.
Tommy Stone
You are not alone my friend...

You should have said, "I would have smoked more weed".
Danny Harrington
Lol. I'm 43. It's like a trick. I still feel 25, until I look in the mirror
Time is a LIE! IT IS NOT CONSTANT!!!
