(No More) Mr. Nice Guys

Written by Jim Mankey and Ron Mael Produced by Todd Rundgren Released on Halfnelson (12/1971) and Sparks (1972) RON: That final rave-up song. Pre-Alice, of course. Edited and speeded up version used as the 'B' side of original "Wonder Girl" single. RUSSELL: Well, at least somebody discovered this song and made a buck or two out of it. - Ron and Russell (1975) "Although many of the songs on this LP risked total obliteration when we would attempt to recreate them in a live context. 'Nice Guys' met with resounding approval by the 6 waitresses and sparse 'tour bus' audiences that caught our regular Whisky a Go Go shows in L.A. When we brought out our Rose Parade style ocean-liner float to conclude the shows, the guests from Omaha scratched their heads, while the waitresses smiled and prepared themselves to come backstage" - Russell Mael (1990) Read more on Last.fm.
