Go Figure - planned album artwork
Feel No Pain - Picture Disc (Side A)


Bad Vultee is a song on the SSV album Go Figure.

It is the fourth track on the picture disc-LP and the Screw Shareholder Value bootleg-CD.

The song has a few different synth lines, some sounding rather uplifting.

Vultee was an old aircraft firm.

The idea of the song consisting of a lot of "measurements"

is fully reminiscent of the The Sisterhood's Gift song, Finland Red, Egypt White.


A still video featuring Bad Vultee (not in full, but hell) is available here.

Wingspan

- Bootleg CD Cover (front)

Wingspan
One hundred and ten feet
Length
Seventy-four feet, seven inches
Height
Twenty-nine feet, one and a half inches
Thirty-nine thousand, four hundred pounds
Empty

Seventy-four feet, seven inches
Wing area
One thousand and fourty-eight square feet

The following verse sounds phased and flanged, so it's a little hard to hear what's being said

One thousand and fourty-eight square feet
Thirty-nine thousand, four hundred pounds
Empty


Empty
