AWagon demo

On this "fifth acetate" from the increasingly inaccurately named "trilogy" of newly-found, unreleased "1959 Nashville Demo Recordings," Bobby & the Yup family crank out a "potential theme" for a proposed B-movie western about a 19th century trek across the American frontier in a covered wagon.

The movie execs eventually rejected this demo after they decided that Bobby's lyrics and the Yup family's "too-spacey" (for 1959) arrangement never really connected with the basic concept of the film. In particular Bobby's perplexing wordplay, in which young stars assemble and touch impenetrable youth while high vibration go(es) on, clashed rather harshly with the traditional Old West imagery of their movie.

Oddly titling the song "A Wagon in our Heart" probably didn't help matters. (Maybe some sound effects of horses would have helped?)

What more can I say? They really were on, like, a roll... (& stoned?)...
 

(Yup, it's the fourth in a trilogy of "1959 Nashville Demo Recordings" from Bobby & the Yup family.)
