Elusive Butterfly Lyrics

Lyric discussion by DaveAMKrayoGuy  

Cover art for Elusive Butterfly lyrics by Bob Lind

One song on DON'T BE CONCERNED, the home of "Elusive Butterfly", that I like, is "The World Is Just a B-Movie", and in one line he laments how his parents hid him until he was sixteen inside a front loading washing machine...

In other parts of the song, Lind is praising how Sonny Bono saved him from a barber from about to start cutting his hair (described as "the law" merely means promoting the non-conforming long-hair trend the mid-'60's was perhaps evolving into, perhaps?) trivializing a lot of Hollywood/Entertainment of the time, sort of aspects...

And bemoaning about a self-comparison to Godzilla & King Kong, and perhaps sings the not-so-praises of the tedious task going from the joy of all sorts of chord changes to doing a song relegated to playing only A7th to D... Among other musical diatribes... -- Dave
