Welcome to another edition of Forgotten Song of the Moment. The featured song TCM is bringing you is one that you didn’t survive more than a few days of airplay in 1994, but it has been engrained in the Captain’s domes for 15 years.
Without further delay, we present you with “Lucas with the lid off”:
Who is Lucas and why is his lid off? What does any of the words in this song actually mean? We have no clue and neither do you. Lucas’s full name is Lucas Secon and unbeknownst to the Captain’s, his father founded Pottery Barn. Yes, that Pottery Barn – the mall deathtrap for any man that sacks up and does the mall trip with their girlfriend or wife.
Secon’s musical career ended after this song and it’s no surprise. If you make music no one can understand or even sing along to, you’re probably going to fail as a musician. Some of the shittiest rock bands, such as Poison, Warrant, the Damn Yankees, Bon Jovi, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Ratt, Motley Crue, and Def Leopard, mad millions by making bad music, but had very catchy lyrics. Lucas, if you’re out there and reading this, we suggest you take a page out of these guys’ books and try the same thing.
All the same, TCM salutes you Lucas for blowing your lid off and providing us with this song no one can interpret or even understands what it’s all about.
