In the Year 2525 was written by Rick Evans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Year_2525_(Exordium_and_Terminus))

As was previously noted by Switchy in this thread, it was preformed by Zager and Evans.

Here are the lyrics: http://www.metrolyrics.com/lyrics/29388/Zager_and_Evans/In_the_Year_2525/

As far as Snake Oil goes, I can use some help too. I checked the Snake Oil Liner Notes thread and didn't have any luck. In addition, I have been able to find other tunes on Google with the same name but the lyrics are different. Are we sure that this is indeed a cover? Thanks.

FB&TC. Oh, it's nothing. Merely the intro to the greatest and best record ever committed to tape in the history of all of taped (or otherwise) musical history in the history of mankind's history ever, that's all.

Now quit buggin' me. I'm trying to watch the football game.

If it is, the lyrics on that are different than the lyrics on the traditional song which which leads me to believe this is an original?

The "traditional" lyrics are below:


I am a man of constant sorrow
I have seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The State where I was born and raised





Hasn't anyone seen "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Sung by the Soggy Bottom Boys and lip synched by George Clooney in the movie.

The traditional one is definitely not the "Constant Sorrow Man" on One More Hit For The Road or SSMVGD. I think it's a mistake and someone assumed that it was that song - if FB has ever actually covered the traditional one, I'd love to hear it!

Not sure if this one counts.. Pixies rehearsed Apache as the "surf cover" for Bossanova, but switched to (and recorded) Cecilia Ann instead.

I'd remove Everyone Is Wrong, it's a song written by Lyle, I wound't call it a cover.

What about Ballad of Lucas McGraw, In The Year 2525, Nightclubbing, Crazy Train, Beat on the Brat, Sheena? Were they all done in concert only, and when was that?

Ballad of Lucas McGraw (live once or twice early on the 93 tour), In The Year 2525 (live a few times, done in the middle of the song "Los Angeles" circa late 90s i think), Nightclubbing (FMR '96 radio session.. Frank doing "karaoke" over Iggy Pop song), Crazy Train (a song Frank soundchecks with sometimes over the years), Beat on the Brat (a couple '93 tv/radio appearances), Sheena? (California '02 shows with Grahm Parker)

The song is called "Fear".. but it was the theme song to a TV show called One Step Beyond.

and i don't think those lyrics posted to the Lucas McGraw song match up with the song Frank did.

oh, and another little thing i just remembered (probably not worth counting as a cover) is sometimes during "You Ain't Me" live circa 96, Frank would sing "867-5309" once.. which was an allusion to the song's similarity to Tommy Tutone's "Jenny (867-5309)"
