"She's Not Some Animal" SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO!
A Beauty & The Beast Story
SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “She’s Not Some Animal”—A Beauty & The Beast story:
…The lyrics combine street-wise romanticisms and observations from when I was working as a bicycle messenger on the hardboiled streets of San Francisco, living on Nob Hill and going to Mabuhay Gardens with my friends. When I wrote this “old fashioned love song” I was dosing heavily on 60s British Invasion and 70s New Wave. On a cosmic jukebox it would play next to Badfinger, “Marcella” (Beach Boys), early Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, and klassik Kinks.
The track went through multiple takes (there’s another nifty punk-speed demo version made in Florida with drummer Mark Jones, but I think it’s lost in the New Wave Twilight Zone). This take was final-mixed by Rusty Richards, a Grammy-winning engineer who worked with Brian Wilson and Julie Miller. Thanks to everyone who keeps requesting this tune.
