about

A friend of mine got married, then promptly divorced. He said, "Let's just say I discovered I'm not really taco night material." I took it to mean he wasn't ready for the cozy routine of marriage. I wrote a song about a wife who finds she hates her new "Tuesdays are Taco Night!" life. She's driven mad by all the things she's "s'posed to" do: "I'm s'posed to dress up for ya…lie down for ya…go down for ya…cheer up for ya…wake up before ya…make a cake just for ya…I'm s'posed to bake it for you now?" It eats away at her until her mind starts telling her what she's "s'posed to" do: murder her husband, dump him in the woods, then deliver her confession: "I'm not really taco night material."

lyrics

I'm s'posed to dress up for ya? I'm s'posed to lie down for ya?
I'm s'posed to go down for ya? I'm s'posed to cheer up for ya?
I'm s'posed to wake up before ya? To make a cake just for ya?
I'm s'posed to bake it for you now?

Nothing feels right, but Tuesdays we have Taco Night

I'm s'posed to take the car, I'm s'posed to drive it far
I'm s'posed to find some woods, I wonder if I could?
I'm s'posed to roll you out, You're s'posed to beg and shout
But no one's s'posed to hear you now

It's a rainy midnight burial
I'm not really Taco Night material

I'm s'posed to come to the station, You're s'posed to be on vacation
I'm s'posed to give 'em the proof now, I'm s'posed to tell 'em the truth now
I'm s'posed to answer the question, I'm s'posed to give 'em directions
Here's my confession now:

I'm not really Taco Night material
I'm not really Taco Night material
I'm s'posed to be Taco Night material
But I'm not really Taco Night material

about

The Claudettes Chicago, Illinois

The Claudettes fuse Windy City piano blues with the full-throttle energy of rockabilly and punk, jazz-age echoes of burlesque and vaudeville and the sultriness of '60s pop-soul to write a thrilling new chapter in American roots music. Johnny Iguana (ex-Junior Wells/Otis Rush/oh my god) works the piano alongside singer Berit Ulseth, bassist/singer Zach Verdoorn and drummer Matt Torre. ... more
