The Roches: Alt-Folk-Pop from 1980

The Roches are a folk and vocal harmony group that emerged from Greenwich Village in the 1970's.This is a song that always stands out in my head. The beat swings, and the guitar part is so catchy. The lyrics are totally bizarre but funny, talking about a family that lives on a boat and an extended metaphor about chocolate and soy bean personalities. Check it out.Their music can be so charming and also challenging, you don't get anything too sweet. They will catch you with moments of melodious bliss, then do some atonal stuff with overly mundane subjects. Overall I find them a great listen. Pick up either of their first two records out of the used bin, it is worth it.The overview of this album is "here at Allmusic.com":http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:g9fqxqt5ldde
