Pink Flamingos Lyrics

1) So what if my house has wheels
Theres nothing that I have you'd want to steal
I hear my ex's voice in my kids dirty little mouth
If it wasnt for welfare id never go out to see my

Chorus -
Pink flamingos
My pink flamingos


2) I like my life in this funky little town
I hope a tornado wont blow it all down
Sit so proud in my rusted out cadillac
But if it worked good id never come back to see my


Chorus



3) The man from the bank come with a truck
To take my home away
They took my kids, my dog, my little goldfish
But as they rolled out I said i'll stay with my


Chorus

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Zuba is an international collective producing a heady upbeat crossover mix of West African folk, Latin rhythms, contrapuntal guitars and melodic vocals. Zuba wrote and rehearsed Allez! in the basement of a disused sandwich factory in the centre of Glasgow in the long, wet summer of 2004. The following recording sessions ran through to November. The main idea of recording these songs was to define, refine and capture Zuba’s existing live sound – a sound borne of a fusion of different cultures but not defined by them. Zuba’s Bassa Beat is global cosmopolitanism almost by accident of birth. The band members were friends, who just happened to be musicians from different parts of the world , before they were a band.
Take a lead singer of Liberian griot lineage with a throat full of reggae and gospel, a Hebridean guitarist with a background in folk fingerpicking and 60s psychedelia, a Parisian percussionist who had travelled and drummed extensively in the world’s Latin quarters, an Aberdonian bassist with a fixation on finding the groove that would link Peter Gabriel’s world fusion and The Who, a Paisley-born jazz-inflected drummer who studied in Berklee, Boston, a Ugandan singer with a soul voice and an obsession with melancholic 70s singer-songwriters, and a Ghanaian dancer with one foot in the R’nB bag and the other dragging it away to African Gospel harmony choir recitals… stick them together in the back of a transit van for six years or so, lock them in a sandwich factory for a while and then entomb them in a smoke-filled recording studio and you have this album.

2) A 90's jam band out of Boulder which has disbanded. Their song "Speed Queen" was featured on the soundtrack of the 1998 American comedy film "There's Something About Mary". Read more on Last.fm.
