I was just saying, that means theres a few recordings of it out there.

I'm sure Bermuda has at least the live performance, seeing as he has over 300 recordings.

I haven't given up hope of us finding a copy of this someday. But I'm not holding my breath, either.

I honestly don't think that we'll ever get it released. I mean, OOMO seems like it was played during the very, very early part of Al's career; i.e. the part where people weren't obsessing over every song and recording the concerts that he does, because hey, he's not gonna last! He's a parodist!

As for Jon having a recording, AFAIK Jon doesn't record the shows. Sure he has pretty much all the Al memorabilia in existence, but of all the concert recordings I've heard, it's all the fans doing, and like I said before, people weren't recording his concerts. Plus, I also seem to recall Jon being asked about it, and pretty much saying "I don't remember the lyrics for it"

There's also the fact that if it did have a recording, we'd have at least seen some lyrics for it. I mean, there's lyrics sites that have every song's that people have heard lyrics on it, but not one of them have OOMO on it. We've basically heard every Al song that's been recorded, why not this?

I know it was on this forum, but I cant find it. I'm pretty sure Bermuda said he only played it with Al only once or twice, and didn't remember the lyrics. HE didnt elaborate at all. For all we know it could be Al's first ten minute epic, or as short as IICMLTAB.

It was in one of the Bermuda chats, maybe '02 or '03. I asked him about it, and he basically said he can't remember the song at all - whether it was a parody or original.

I found where he says that it ain't gonna appear. It was actually in two of the chats, back in '05 and '06:

<Bermuda> Yep, I performed it with Al in 1981... once.
<Bermuda> Not something I could take the time and list here though
<Bermuda> And I don't know if Al would appreciate unreleased lyrics being posted

And then in a later chat:

12/10/06 wrote: <WHiZZi> Al's #27 fan asks: Jon, what can you tell us about Orgy On My Own?
<bermuda> That was a song that we perfomed probably only once or twice in my very early days with Al (I think June 1981...)
It's a silly, Tom Lehrer-type song, although looking back, no more edgy or suggestive than Wanna B Your Lover, for instance.
I doubt it will ever see the light of day though...

So, yeah... I don't think we're ever going to hear it.

Had no idea about the second chat. And apparently how bad my memory has gotten.

Aha! So there is a Tom Lehrer style parody after all

Things in My Room....Orgy On My Own....the pieces are starting to fit
