Title: Cobra
Post by: jrat on Mar 07, 2006, 04:37 PM
i have a question that some might find retarded. ive read that Cobra is a nod to the steve miller band. i thought this meant it was a cover, so when i went to find the lyrics, i typed in steve miller band. but i didnt find matching songs. is this an original MMJ tune? eitherway, i like it, especially being 24 mins long. i wish more songs were this long dammit.

No, cuz I'm pretty sure if you read the liner notes it says something like, "all songs written and performed by Jim James."  

Besides, you think the Steve Miller Band could write something like this?

i think it's linked to steve miller because a lot of the song sounds like abbracadabra, is that spelled right?

I had totally forgot about that.  Oh my.

You know, I think I just realized that Cobra is about a woman.
