Isn't "(Do You Like) Boobs-A-Lot" one of their most famous songs? Shouldn't it be mentioned? - Nunh-huh 00:28, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Nah, you're thinking of the Fugs. --ILike2BeAnonymous 08:16, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- Nah Nah, that was always Steve Weber's song -- which is how it got onto the Fugs album. It is also on "Good Taste Is Timeless" and "Steve Weber and the Holy Modal Rounders B.C." There's also a fun flash cartoon floating around.--DeHypnotist 21:27, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Some of the dates seem to be a year or two off; those of you who were around at the time should feel free to correct these. Bradluen 11:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Rounders' Folk Background
One thing that oughta be mentioned in this article, somehow (haven't figured out how to work it in) is that the HMR actually did have a deep background in American traditional music, something that is evident upon listening to their material. At first hearing, it might seem as if they're just two crazy guys mocking hillbilly music or something, but they actually had an extensive knowledge of fiddle tunes and folk songs. (Just tended to butcher them in their performances.) I don't know anything more about this background, though (like where and how they picked up all their repertoire). Anyone else? --ILike2BeAnonymous 08:20, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
