    Professional artistic battles first broke out between twins Eddy and Arty Lunch in 1979 during their brief fame and lack of fortune after "Too Much Fun" was released as Eddy Lunch and the Luncheonettes. Not only was Arty left off the bill but Eddy took off with Arty's girlfriend. Arty retreated to his motor-home and Eddy rode the wave of this mini hit before disappearimg for nearly a decade. Many surmise he was incarcerated while seeking cosmetic discount surgery to remove a birth mark on his genitals (the only way to tell the identical twins apart) while in Mexico.

    The boys unite almost yearly to celebrate Kent State Mssacre Day, their birthday. Even if they aren't speaking to each other, they attempt to record a song or two. Years of anger, when not speaking to each other are marked by instrumental endeavors. In 1998 the Lunch Brothers reunited to record "Yousta Tell Me." The song failed miserably and their first months of gigs ended when their promoter was arrested in a meth lab raid resulting in all funds for the tour being tied up in a DEA confiscation case. Arty, being the elder twin by fourteen minutes, was heard telling Eddy that he should have choked him to death at birth with his umbilical cord after their last gig. They were later evicted from their Motel 6 room in Gun Barrel City, TX.

    Another reunion was again on their birthday 2007. At this party the boys' new wives met for the first time and a week later ran off with each other to start the Beaver Dam Republican Club. Miffed by years of estrangement and the loss of their women folk both Eddy and Arty headed off to the local free clinic and received various anti-depressant medications. With the aid of these prescriptions they decided they actually could stand each other and proceeded to write, play and record a new song, "Aunty Dee."

    “I don’t know a sharp from a flat.  I don’t know from tempo, rhythm, pitch (add a bunch of terms here) etc., but I know what I like!”

"Too Much Fun" -- such a fantastic party song, it’s really loose.  You can hear everyone having a great time.  My favorite earthling, the irrepressible Su Garfield, can be heard squealing in the background.  And on the personal note, I’m the one who actually said, “I’m having too much fun.  I wanna go home.”  My words immortalized in song.  I want this song played at my funeral!

"Dreamin’"  – Ray’s most Proustian song.  Obviously he was very affected by the Overture of “Remembrance of Things Past” where the narrator, Marcel, as a young boy, can’t sleep and drifts in and out of a dreamlike state.  Masterfully captured in “Dreamin.'’

"Pleasure or Pain" – It’s about Bettie Page!  The perfect song about Bettie Page.  A lighthearted tune about S & M.
 
"March Of Loose Change" – it’s a marching song but kind of a  a twisted one. It’s inspiring like John Phillip Sousa but in a negative  way.
 
"Have It Your Way" – beautiful, romantic, sad, anti-love song.  I didn’t like some of the lyrics.  I thought they were too harsh for such pretty music.  Maybe I didn’t get it.  I begged Raymond to change the lyrics but he wouldn’t.  These stubborn artists and their integrity.
 
"Youz ta tell Me" – Raymond’s first song about getting old. It’s getting to be one of his favorite themes.  And he’s not even old!  He can’t even get into AARP yet.  Ray, wait ‘til your 60, then you’ll really have something to sing about.  It’s a great song, makes me nostalgic about stuff that didn’t even happen to me.
 
"Dr. Nick" – There’s been a lot of Elvis novelty songs but this ones got to be the best.  KUSF Radio in San Francisco plays it on Elvis anniversary days.   It’s about the unfairly scapegoated doctor who wrote all those prescriptions for Elvis.  Hey -- he was a doctor and Elvis was sick.  He needed medication.  A sad story but a hilarious song.  Bad side affect of listening to this song... you can’t get that “Twenty-five pills a day...” out of your head.
 
"Sunrise in Sleeper" – talk about easy listening.  This song could be a hour long, at least.  Very restful.  If only Amtrak were actually like this.
 
"Sound As a Weapon" – A song about how we are constantly assaulted by sound turns out to be very listenable.  As the kids would say on American Bandstand, “It’s got a beat and you can dance to it.”  Pogo dance.
 
"Hey F. U."  – I laugh every time I hear this one.  It’s too funny.  I really love it... or do I just hate Paul McCartney.  And the other Ray, Ray Ha-Ha Hanna sings, which is something he really couldn’t do (but didn’t know it) and did it anyway, so it makes it even better.
 
"Cowboy II (the Relentless)" – What is it?  A bunch of Martian cowboys sitting around the campfire singing a old Martian cowboy song?  It’s a little bit country, it’s a little bit weird.
I wanted to be a cowboy so I can definitely relate
 
"Metal's On" – Fabulous 'Tuff Rock' song.  It’s loud, it’s obnoxious, it’s stupid – it’s great!

"Smell the Bacon" - Hypnotic.

Raymond keeps telling me it’s a disaster but lucky for me I’m a musical moron and can’t hear the mistakes.  It’s got attitude!
