Alright, this song gets a bad rap. I think perhaps because of the subject matter. But really folks, give this one another listen.
The way the guitars bring a raw edge to the open of the song, followed by Johnny's angry drums (Sounds like he's hurting them!) and the really great riffs and instrumental breaks, make this one a winner.
I think Paul and Bobby do well on this one, and the jet at the end is a nice touch (Not to mention a great transition into "Engaged.")
Coconut Cream, it's no Ahead by a Century, but it's not Evelyn either.

I've always liked the music for Coconut Cream, but I always found the lyrics to be well below Gord's usual standards. However I still laugh every time I hear the "little Christians in a circle jerk" line.

I remember reading somewhere that is was actually johnny who came up with the riff to coconut cream.

Never liked the song much but I listen to it once and awhile, I love the cat/fat butteflies part.
However I wasn't too happy when they played it 2nd after Gift in Syracuse when I saw them there on the Henhouse tour. I wasn't expecting it live, especially 2nd song in the set!

I love it! Its one of my top ten hip faves. I've always been a bigger fan of the faster, upbeat hip tunes.

I think Butts Wigglin' is the Hip tune that gets no respect of TATH.

CC is a solid tune. Gord gives a small funny rant to it from Denver in 1996.

I've always liked this tune. As for the lyrics, I always think of, well... something gross. And the circle jerk line doesn't make it any better. :lol: it's a great tune though!
Bobby's solo is great, and I love the sound of the jet at the end. Did you know that Johnny recorded this just for fun, not thinking that they would use it in a song?

I love this song, it has a great riff. I don't understand the hate for it, it's just a catchy little pop song to lighten the mood for a pretty somber album.

Sorry, I have gave another listen. Worst song on one of their worst albums. Quite possibly...wait no - it is my worst favourite hip song of all time.
