Is Guava a Donut
Renaldo & the Loaf Lyrics
Excuse me
Excuse me, could you tell me please
Excuse me sir
Is Dover a seaport?
Sure it's a seaport
Pardon me
Please sir
Pardon
Has Grover a passport?
I hope so!
Please sir I say
Just one second please
I say
I say!
Do gophers eat peanuts?
I'm not sure!
Hmm
I hope you don't mind me asking
It's been on my mind for some years now
It's important
Is guava a donut?
What?
What! What, you say! You know, if I had a mind I could get quite mad
But I bite my bottom lip and persevere, a lad needs to know, y'know, y'know, y'know
Excuse me
Excuse me
But I still have questions
Sir
Is Ghana a blood sport?
Don't be ridiculous!

Renaldo & the Loaf is a musical duo from Portsmouth, England, initially active in the late seventies and most of the eighties, consisting of a pathologist (David Janssen or "Ted The Loaf") and an architect (Brian Poole or "Renaldo Malpractice", most often simply "Renaldo M").
Of all the groups that the Residents signed to their Ralph Records, Renaldo & the Loaf were the closest to their label heads in sound.

Of all the groups that the Residents signed to their Ralph Records, Renaldo & the Loaf were the closest to their label heads in sound. Twisted, high-pitched vocals, child-like melodies, an atmosphere of menace and unease with a stripped-down approach to instrumentation characterised their output.
By their own assertion, they achieved their unique sound in part by striving to get unnatural synthesizer-like sounds using only what instruments they had available (acoustic ones.) To that end they routinely used muffled and de-tuned instruments, and often to striking effect, tape loops/manipulation. The two released four full-length albums, one collection, various songs on compilation albums, and several self-produced demos. They were "discovered" by The Residents when Brian dropped off a tape at Ralph Records headquarters in San Francisco, during a visit to the US. After being signed to Ralph, they collaborated with The Residents on Title in Limbo.
By 1989, the collaboration had lost its steam, and the duo disbanded after recording a sea shanty, "Haul on the Bowline," which appeared only on a Ralph various artists release. Brian Poole ("Renaldo") contributed to sporadic recordings in the 1990s. In 2006 upon the launch of the new Renaldo & the Loaf web site, the duo were reunited for the first time in the better part of two decades.
In October of 2016 they released their first studio album in 29 years, entitled "Gurdy Hurding". Vienna Label Klanggalerie has since re-issued all their albums. In June 2018 Renaldo & The Loaf played their very first genuine live show at Klanggalerie's 25th anniversary in Vienna, documented in the album "Long Time Coming."

I fucking love this. It makes me feel things. Like, more than I feel with other songs. I relate to this. It tells a story to me and I relate to it heavily. It's like this song understands me. I wish I knew how to find more music that did that for me.

You might try Ptose with songs like Eat your Fish or Night of the Reptiles... Could be up your alley, too. It's certainly up mine

They're the oppositest things one can think of. Only few know this, but the smell of guava was used as a torture method back in medieval times. I just made this up but hey maybe it really was! Very likely even!

"Do gophers eat peanuts?" I posed this question to the internet and according to Google Answers: - - "Gophers are herbivores, which means they only eat vegetation. They especially love the roots and tubers of plants but will occasionally resort to grazing the lawn for grass, clover, and other snacks. Gophers like peanut butter, as well as potatoes, carrots, roots, lawn, and plants which makes peanut butter the perfect bait to trap them." - - Which wasn't exactly what I asked about. I had not asked about how to trap gophers.

Is butter a carb?

Guava is not a donut. This was always a ridiculous assertion.
BaddaBigBoom
What is a "donut" and is it made of "do"? I know what a doughnut is, Mr Krispy Kreme told me so.
