SSV - Bad Vultee


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 the name of an old aircraft company.

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

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

There's a still video with audio from the master CD here to give you an impression.

Our thanks go to Weird Tunes for the upload.

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

Wingspan

Screw Shareholder Value - 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 two verses are phased, flanged and sped-up, 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
