Classic pairing of two mid-tier bands of the era: Boston's Scruffy The Cat and Seattle's Young Fresh Fellows who recently announced tour dates.  Perhaps that is why this single sold after sitting for nearly a decade in storage.

Anyway, the YFF side was a big radio hit on WMBR and now is one of a ever shrinking released song list that seemingly can't be streamed.  Less than two minutes, it is a blast of grimy fun.  A sunny dig at the jocular but gruff Midwesterners?  "My boyfriend's band is movin' up!  My boyfriend's band is movin' on!"

The flip band was the hyper-local roots-bar Rock mainstay Scruffy.  This excellent Keef tangential track I ignored in it's day.  The album with "40 Days and 40 Nights" was a heavy airplay go-to for me and I didn't really like YFF at the time.  But this novelty record the Fellows were winners hands down.

"I'm my boyfriend's buttercup..."
