I hate that song, but I'll bring back a Ft. Marcy Park song from the archives about Patrick Knowlton. I actually met him in L.A. not long after poor Foster's demise. MORE ON KNOWLTON.

MIDI - BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS

I'm stuck in traffic and really had to pee
And can't believe this kind of thing is happenin' to me
I'm lookin' for a restroom but there isn't one to find
So I know that trouble's brewin' and I'm really in a bind

I tensed all up but I knew I wouldn't make it
That mean old Mother Nature is the one I've often cursed
I'd hold my breath but knew I couldn't fake it
If I'm not pullin' over soon my bladder's gonna burst

A mile down the road I think I might a seen a sign
And I think it said McDonalds and to me that's mighty fine
I'm shakin' all over, people thought it was a dance
But there's no way in Hades that I wanna mess my pants

The pain was growin' so I'm pullin' over quick
I just gotta find a place because I think I'm gettin' sick
I saw "Ft. Marcy" and I started yelling "hark!"
There will be a tree and I will just go tinkle in the park

Well, I jump from my car but there's some fella watchin'
He's glarin', I know that he's as mean as he could be
I quickly walk to a tree by a cannon
I didn't want no trouble I just had to take a pee

I'm zippin' my zipper and I'm getting' in my car
But the thug is there, I'm wonderin' if I'll be gettin' far
I saw two cars that later I was able to describe
I'd tell the truth, I'd tell it straight and never take a bribe

I tensed all up but I knew I wouldn't make it
And mean old Mother Nature is the one I've often cursed
I'd hold my breath but knew I couldn't fake it
If I'm not pullin' over soon my bladder's gonna burst

Then harassment was startin' by some guys a packin'
They're watchin', they're bumpin' me wherever I would go
'Cause that's the time that they dumped poor ol' Foster
Those guys had done him in that day, I didn't even know
