I don't know what this is with most people not liking the name
Beautiful Pea Green Boat.  Don't any of you remember the wonderful
poem, "The Owl and the Pussy Cat"?

     The Owl and the Pussy Cat went to sea
     in a beautiful pea green boat.
     They brought some honey, and plenty of money
     wrapped in a ten pound note.
     [etc]
     The Owl said to the Pussy, "My love,
     what a beautiful Pussy you are, you are.
     What a beautiful Pussy you are."
     [etc]

or something like that?  Just being reminded of this great poem brings
me pleasure, and anyone who doesn't like the name of this band is a
hosehead in my book!

P.S.  Does anyone remember I Hate Peas french fries?  They were frozen
french fries that were green because they had ground up peas in them.
They also had I Hate Carrots french fries, and I Hate Spinach french
fries, and I Hate Beets french fries.  The TV commercials for them had
a kid singing a song that went:

	I hate arithmetic and A, B, C's.
        I hate washing my elbows and my knees.
        I hate saying "thank you" and "please",
        but more than anything, I hate peas!

They weren't around for very long.  Another great idea that was before
its time....
