America. No. The Other One.

Did any one ever find out what PLANET the group America came from? I like the music, but it’s best if you don’t listen too closely. I mean, first of all, there’s Horse with No Name. I have to agree with Dave Barry here: You’re in the desert. There is nothing else to do. Name the damn horse!
America had some interesting lyrics. America also had some frighteningly bizarre lyrics, such as those in Ventura Highway. What are alligator lizards? And what are they doing in the air? Are you telling me that these things FLY? And why would you want to be outside with THOSE things out there? If you have wind blowing through your hair, I assume you’re outside.
How BIG are these alligator-lizards? Would a standard screen keep them out of my house? Huge bugs are bad enough, but alligator lizards that fly would definitely keep me away from…. wherever it is they’re talking about. “Alligator lizards in the air….” Well don’t just stand there, guy! Call an exterminator!
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds taught us how interesting things can become if you look at your child’s drawing while on LSD. I don’t know what America was on – whether it was drugs or whether they’re from another planet entirely. Or maybe they were ill. Is it contagious? Can I get shots? In any case, I’m weirded out now.
