Imma give them a pass here. Ricky died the year before and this band was a shell of themselves. The single is fun but the rest of it is not. Schneider, ostensibly the iconic element of this band, doesn’t even show up til halfway through the first side. I suppose a case could be made for “Theme for a Nude Beach” but I don’t wanna make it.
