Story Behind The Song
Wrote this song on Isla Mujeres, Mexico after spending a winter there and gigging. The joke - to me - is that I learned about 5 words in Spanish that whole winter and I put them all into one song, and funnily enough, it's exactly what I did there. It was a big hit with the locals there who sang it back to me everywhere. Happy to say I'm now back and living in Mazatlan and working hard on mi Espagnol!
Song Description
A song about the joys of lots of nothing - Mucho Nada. Includes all the pieces of my broken Spanish and commitment to relaxation in Mexico. Also interspersed with existential enjoyment in the art of nothingness.

Lyrics
V1: How many ways can you peel a bañana?
How many ways can you peel a bañana?
The answer to the question will reveal itself manana.
I say Mucho - Mucho Nada
CH: Muchoooo, Mucho Nada
Muchoooo, Mucho Nada
And they say "Que pasa man - what's happening?"
I say "Mucho Nada - the big nothing!"
I say Mucho, Mucho Nada
V2: Just swinging in the shade in my lazy hamaca
Swinging in the shade in my lazy hamaca
If there's nobody home you know you need not knocka'
I say Mucho - Mucho Nada
CH
And fools rush in where sleeping dogs lie
Fools rush in where sleeping dogs lie
Fools rush....... but not I.
I say Mucho - Mucho Nada
CH
