My old Fluids professor at RPI, John Tichy, is the lead guitar on this.  They were touring with the Grateful Dead while he was getting his Ph.D. in Tribology at University of Michigan.

He's a good fluids professor.



That's great!

Ha, I totally made the same connection. Glad I found a comment 17 years old referencing the similarity to A boynamed Sue. And, once I lookup up that song on wikipedia, found that the original song isn't even from Johnny Cash

If you're going to spend any real Q-time in the Ozone, you simply cannot understate the importance of good fluids.

It was played last night on WCKG here in Chicago by Steve Dahl---a little mini shout-out to Gov. Rod Blagojevich's re-election. Too bad you missed it down in Austin. You're just going to have to beg RP a little harder.

Great fun - traveling music!  Remember driving through UTAH in my 1963 ford econoline van (3 on the tree) singing along to this song.   Good memories.

Wow!!!  PSD to this. Blast from the past!  First ever for this to my ears here at RP.

My senior year B.U. roommate went NUTS over Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen.  He could recite these lyrics like a machine!

You thinking of a song that I think was called "Too Much Fun"? Something like Must be a whole lot of things I ain't never done Cuz I ain't never had too much fun. . . .

I believe Commander Cody's isn't the original (at least according to this): (click here)

I would welcome that! Classic tune and most excellent.
Posted 21 years ago by Roverfish    [ Reply ]
Whoa, I didn't realize this was the original. I have heard Bill Kirchen and Too Much Fun play this tune here in Virginia. It turns out that that the guitarist Bill Kirchen was in the original Commander Cody band when they recorded this tune. I think RP would definitely enjoy hearing some Bill Kirchen. Anyone else heard of him?

I did wear out this single back in the day. Too much fun - try singing along with it! Proof that RP is the world's best radio station.

Slightly off topic, but: It IS possible to have too much fun; however, too much fun is still NOT enough. Antigone wrote:
