The band's style is a mixture of country music, rockabilly, and blues. Their marathon live shows were legendary, but many felt that the spirit of those performances was never fully captured in the band's recordings.

Wine Do Yer Stuff
Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I stopped in here like I always do before I lose my cool
I need to make my mind relax 'cause I think I've had enough
Come on wine, wine, wine, do yer stuff
Wine take me for a ride
Send my thoughts flyin' high let my brain unwind
She let me down too many times I think I've had enough
Now the color of this warm red wine is the color of her hair
As I stare into my glass I see her face in there
One more bottle if you please, the goin's gettin' rough
Come on wine, wine, wine, do yer stuff
Wine take me for a ride
Send my thoughts flyin' high let my brain unwind
She let me down too many times I think I've had enough
Come on wine, wine, wine, do yer stuff
Come on wine, wine, wine, do yer stuff
The song "Wine Do Yer Stuff" by Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen is a classic country tune about drowning one's sorrows with alcohol. The song begins with the singer admitting that he has been played for a fool, and that he needs to come to terms with the fact that his lover has let him down too many times. He turns to wine as a way to make his mind relax and escape from his problems, and asks it to do its stuff and take him on a ride. The warm red color of the wine reminds him of his lover's hair, and as he stares into his glass he sees her face there. He requests for one more bottle, as he feels the going has gotten rough.
The chorus of the song is a plea to wine to take the singer on a ride, to send his thoughts flyin' high and let his brain unwind. He has had enough of his lover's letdowns, and he just wants to escape from his reality for a while. The repetition of "come on wine, wine, wine, do yer stuff" emphasizes the singer's desperation and his need for wine to take away his pain.
Overall, the song is a classic country tune that tells a story of heartache, disappointment and the joys of alcohol-induced escape. The strong melody, the twangy guitar, and the upbeat rhythm make this song a fan favorite and a timeless classic.
