That sounded familiar! It's the second one, "Clumsy Lovin'"
: well, there's two different songs that you might be thinking of. one's a bagpipe tune by a canadian named neil dickie, and our original namesake. it has no words. we also played a song called "clumsy lovin'" for a while. it was by our old guitar player, quintin, and the chorus went "well i'm fumblin around, baby please make a sound, and just maybe i'll sleep like a log tonight. try as i might i just can't get it right; don't you know clumsy lovin' is all i can give". or something like that. it's been a while (sorry if i got it wrong, quintin). anyway, which one were you thinking of?

: : Okay, well at least now I know I'm not crazy. When I first saw you guys at Palousafest in 95, I thought for sure that you played a song called "Clumsy Lover," but I haven't heard it played since. It was one of my favorite songs, but I had started to think that I had just imagined it. Are you just not playing it anymore, or am I just going to all the wrong shows?
