Cover song: "Eldorado to the Moon" (Patreon)

Mike Nesmith did some pretty nifty stuff after he left The Monkees. This song, introduced to me by Barry Childs-Helton, is one of Nesmith's best.

You know someday mankind will travel to the starsBut it will not be done in tiny compact carsThe interstellar trip would take a hundred yearsAnd we don't want to cramp your pretty legs up, dear.

So I will pick you up about a quarter tillAnd we will pick up speed as we hit the hillAnd then I'll drop the caddy into overdriveAnd we will take right off into the midnight sky.

We got a million dollars worth of ethyl gasAnd a reservation for the roomTonight we're gonna drive the Eldorado to the moonTonight we're gonna drive the Eldorado to the moon

I know the Soviets --They must be most upsetBecause they cannot build a car like my El Dee yetIt's got the fireplaceIt's got the swimming poolIf we need extra space, it's got the backseat, too

We got a million dollars worth of ethyl gasAnd a reservation for the roomTonight we're gonna drive the Eldorado to the moonTonight we're gonna drive the Eldorado to the moon
