Line Out - Comments on We On A Roll Now http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/09/we_on_a_roll_now Now you've got me thinking, Trent. About the time I first heard "Big Balls"--I'd put it around 1980--me and the neighborhood kids were also into a lesser known but just as classic novelty song. The Jimmy Castor Bunch's "Troglodyte"...

It's definitely one of the pinnacles of novelty funk. They don't make 'em like that anymore...

I find "Troglodyte" hard to resist. And yeah, it's straight-up sexist, but the title makes that clear--enlightened cavemen, anyone?--and I love the way Castor delivers lines like, "He'd grab her by the hair. You can't do that today, fellas, cause it might come off!" It's like Redd Foxx on funk.

I hope so, anyway.
