"Speedball Tucker"
 
   Yeah, in Project Impala, Gryphon mentioned the above song. And I went and listened to it. But, for some reason or another, it never actually clicked.

See, around here, we used to have a very(locally) famous singer called Vreeswijk. As you might guess from the name, he was originally Dutch. And, well, he recorded a record of Dutch songs way back in the mists of time. One of those songs was "Bakker de Baksteen". The title means, more or less, "Baker the Brick, and it begins,

"I drive a loaded truck full of bricks, Forty tons of it / And my mate says I'm crazy, but I say anything is possible"


Yeap, it's Speedball Tucker in Dutch. ANd my mind was thoroughly boggled. :)

Nothing really important there, I just found it epic when I realized what song it actually was.
