I really need to start paying closer attention to these things... but while randomly checking in at IndieMusicPeople I discovered the OOBs have done it once again! Yes.... we've WON

(Watch Out For That) CRAZY BOY!!
Yes, I'm beginning to wonder if this is all LEGIT!! (no, I kid! I kid!) Well - I should contact the other fellas and let them know... and they'll probably have the same reaction as you (heh heh heh)...
I can recall this was Dan, Joe and myself - and we were probably in Dan's dusty bedroom when we recorded this on Dan's 4-Track recorder. Pity though - I don't think we did anything past a single take and I don't hear any over-dubs - so this was pretty bare bones, even for us! Joe sings lead and Dan and I sing back-up. Guitar is as usual, Dan.
The song comes from a group of unknown street performers that we caught, if memory serves me well (which it doesn't) on some local UHF channel - only God knows what show - and I vaguely remember them being interviewed before they sang and learning that they originated from Puerto Rico and called themselves "The Crazy Boyz". One guy played guitar and sang while the others played crude percussion and sang background. To our credit, we did a near carbon copy rendition of what it sounded like.
You can listen to the song from a few places, like here... here... or here...
