Details: Amazon.ca Marcy Playground's John Wozniak was one of those kids who, like Charlie Brown, got a bag of rocks for Halloween instead of sweets. Fortunately, Wozniak used his childhood ostracism as the inspiration and fuel to write charmingly quirky pop songs. Wozniak woos the listener with his smooth, low-key vocals and light-hearted delivery of weighty, somewhat twisted, and darkly humorous songs. "Poppies" gives a cheery history lesson on the origins of the international opium trade, while "Elvinkind" and "Dog and His Master", with its chorus of "One little, two little, three little idiots," could become new, if slightly warped, children's standards. And then there's the country feel of "Sex & Candy", with the sing-along refrain "I smell sex and candy here". One of the qualities of an exceptional band is the ability to tell a story through their music; something that Marcy Playground succeeds at beautifully. --Gail Worley Product description MARCY PLAYGROUND Marcy Playground (1998 issue UK 12-track CD album featuring the self-titled debut album from the US alternative rockers includes the singles Sex And Candy Saint Joe On The School Bus and Sherry Fraser with fold-out picture / lyric inlay)
