Sidewalk Dentistry

from F Is For Fresno by Brian Kenney Fresno

/

about

Another true story from the Urban Legend series. This song is one of my most amazing accomplishments, and is currently not performable. It is created from the ART products mentioned elsewhere-that have been phased out. That is live radio leaking out of my head, and the drill sound is activated by my right hand's motion in the air. Magic.

lyrics

SIDEWALK DENTISTRY

Sailing in the northern south pacific
Caught a yard arm in the mouth
Knocked a couple of my teeth out
As the wind shifted around from the south

In an ancient Chinese fishing village
Just where I'm still not sure
Herbs and incantations
I was offered as a cure

Now Western modern medicine
Had only yet to make it there
And sidewalk dentistry
Is what made me really care

Now we're talkin no antisthetic
And a rusty foot pumped drill
Sat me down and strapped me in
I have nightmares about it still..
Now the things not even sharpened
Or since 1965
I did'nt know if I'd make it out alive

So me made me up this bridgework
With this new experimental filling
He was bragging to his assistant
As he held my head back-a-drilling
Now my tongue just won't leave alone
This weird consistency
And when I move my head just right
I pick up radio frequencies

Sidewalk dentistry
Didn't work to well for me
Though it's cheap or nearly free
You gets just what you pays for
Sidewalk dentistry
A serious lack of technology
I pick up radio frequencies
When I hold my head just right

Fight or flee came over me
As that sadist set in action
Laughing and singing
Enjoying everything
The power of the pain he was causing

And I remember how big that drill was
And you could see how the shaft was bent
Carving flesh and slicing bone
Couldn't believe how slow it went
I lost all perception of time and space.......................

IT'S HARD TO CONCENTRATE WHEN THEY'RE POUNDING ON YOUR FACE!

Though it hurt like hell for years
I guess it looks o.k.
But the radio just drives me crazy
Cause it just won't go away

about

Brian Kenney Fresno Fresno, California

My name is Brian Kenney Fresno, and I have this super fun solo ROCK show
where I sing modern TALES of urban legends and epics of the absurd- in a
sing along format, mostly about Fresno Ca, my home town, and everytime I say
"Fresno", everybody eats the raisins and says "WHOOO!" in a group
experience.
It's really fun!
Everybody laughs a lot!
