"Take the Long Way Home" by Trixter

 


Paramus, New Jersey glam metal band Trixter cover "Take the Long Way Home," a 1979 single from London, UK prog rock group Supertramp.  

If Trixter were in London and wanted to take the long way home, they'd fly Heathrow Airport to Washington, then board a subway to Union Station, followed by a train to Penn Station, and, finally, a bus to Century Road in Paramus.  Estimated time: 13 hours and 29 minutes.

For another Supertramp cover, The 48th St. Collective's version of "Breakfast in America" can be found here.

"Breakfast in America" by 48th St. Collective

 


48th St. Collective are a band from.... Argentina, maybe?  They cover songs in a jazzy, vintage style, like the title track from the 1979 progressive rock album "Breakfast in America" by London, UK group Supertramp.

The line "Can we have kippers for breakfast, Mommy dear, Mommy dear?" was uttered by no American, ever.

On this side of the pond, it's all about the Honey Smacks.

The only thing that we'd use kippers for here is to attempt cutting down the mightiest tree in the forest.
