"Leave Town" is parodist Loose Bruce Kerr's answer to Petula Clark's hit, "Downtown." City life is compared to the dangers when you "Leave Town," whether from wild animals or a "Deliverance" type scenario. Bruce records his songs and videos in his garage in Silicon Valley in Northern California. He's heard on the Dr. Demento and Jim Bohannon radio shows, coast-to-coast. Bruce is also a high tech attorney for Sun Microsystems. Many of his videos may be seen on youtube and myspace by searching on <Loose Bruce Kerr.>

"IN-A-GA-DA-DA-VIDA POLKA," a combination parody by "Loose Bruce" Kerr, as featured on the Dr. Demento and Jim Bohannon syndicated radio shows, combines Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca" with the 1968 drum solo hit song by Iron Butterfly, "IN-A-GA-DA-DA-VI-DA" and an added accordian unfortunately turns it into a nightmarish polka.

In this fantasy parody, as the 60's start to come back in the form of flared jeans, black lights, lava lamps, etc., the added accordian somehow kidnaps the 60's rock sound and morphs it into a polka. Oh, the humanity. Ah, you can never go home again.

Bruce laid down the instruments and vocals, one at a time, then brought in a female accordian player who was the local accordian society's president who'd not only never heard "IN-A-GA-DA-DA-VI-DA," she had somehow evaded hearing Ricky Martin's constant anthem, the beach song of a recent summer. Lawrence Welk may have been her last influence.

This picture is Bruce in 1968 when he was in a rock band at the U. of Michigan-Ann Arbor, the Byzantine Empire, who opened for the Iron Butterfly in Chicago in 1968 as their psychedelic era hit was hitting the top of the charts.

Sit back, crank up this double-parody, and take comfort that the story of this song will never truly exist to hurt us. Trust me. Rock does not have a polka phase ahead. If it were to, all boomers would pick a night to commit mass mutual suicide together. Holding hands and swaying while Judy Collins sings Joni Mitchell's, "Both Sides Now."

STEREO VER: Bruce says: "I wanted, for the illegal immigration issue, an original song to represent the center. I thought the recent demonstators' use of the flag of Mexico was plain stupid and counterproductive. If it's the Mexican flag that's the symbol, what's with the excape at risk of death scenario and coming here? If, on the other hand, you've escaped and now want the rights and privileges of citizenship, why are you not including yourself in the American landscape and waving the <American> flag? That would engender more support from the current citizenship of the U.S. I realize the Mexican flag is a symbol of solidarity-for <Mexican> citizens. If you really deserve citizenship here, and you came here like earlier immigrants to fold into the American dream and culture, embracing the American flag would do more to convince the current citizens of your true intent to become an American. The prevalence of a foreign flag in our streets, and that of a country who many feel is conducting a de facto "invasion" in numbers of immigrants coming here illegally, turned many off in the political center and even the left who might otherwise have been supporters (and eventual voters) on this issue.

Beyond that, I wanted to capture some American folk styles and idioms to give it some Americana, hence the banjo, folk guitars, and mandolin. The harmonies, that's just where I live." Video coming...
