You know the excellent Thunder Rocks cover of
"What's the Word" where they sing
"What's the word, Thunderbird, what's
that joy, NATURE BOY!"
Naturally, I am familiar with Thunderbird wine,
but I never could figure out what the second part meant.
Well, there I was one day listening to Ichiban, and
Frantic Ernie Durham was pitching a cheap wine called... "NATURE BOY"
!!! BINGO !!!!
Thunder Rocks - What's the Word
Another Ichiban favorite, The Casual-Aires
Featuring Maurice Simon - (What's the Word) Thunderbird
What's the price ? Thirty twice !
Red Prysock - What's the Word ? Thunderbird !
But for different versions of the song, as
well as a great wino line that I hope to use one day, I can't do better than
The Hound, in his blog !!!
Bottoms up !!!

I love that you have this!! My dad PatLaRose was in the Thunder Rocks! He played guitar & sang. I was lucky enough to go to the Thunder Rocks reunion and got to meet everyone and hear about all the stories from those days. I am so grateful when I come across sites like this becauseit keeps my dad's memory alive! May he Rest in Peace! God bless you all.
