I can’t remember what skate video I first heard this on, but skate videos opened my world to music as a pre teen. Before that I had no idea music could be what it is.
Roky did SUUUUUUUUUCH A GREAT GREAT JOB on this album!!!! Whole album is killer!! Like SO Bad Ass!!!! THANK YOU ROKY!!!!!! We love you, legend. You gave us so much. We wont forget it.
Half the music industry wouldn't have a career without this guy. Or anyone that matters anyway. Roky helped invent psyche...and alternative music. He admitted himself that he could never throw away his musical dignity and compromise just to be commercial and make money.
Everytime it gets below 28 degrees, I tell people: "It's a cold night for alligators."
Good night Mr Alligator and rest in peace
If hell existed and they play Roky's songs there; I'm in.

I love this! this is added in a playlist with bluesy greats.
It was the coldest night for alligators ever when Roky passed away.
Rest In Peace Mr. Erickson :(
Seems to me to be a perfect gentleman- not a cross word to say about anyone- childlike and kind spirit about him- I can't help myself- I like the man.
The song is based on events in Roy Del Ruth's 1959 B-Movie, THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE, starring Beverly Garland and Lon Chaney Jr.
R.I.P. Roky and thanks for all your great music. <3 <3
Imagine for a moment, if Roky and Syd had met and collaborated, what genius music may have been...
Hassel brought me here, great Song, great Voice :)
I love the Hellacopters version of this song, which was the first version I ever heard... But I can totally see why they covered it! I love it!
It's a cold night for dogs
RIP Roky. Thank you for the music.
This is kick ass! Nothing like it out there in today's homogenized corporate made crap. Way to go Roky, keep stealing mail my friend! Love your style!
Masterpiece by a true legend.
