		Does anyone know, or know where I can find, the lyrics to Stillwater's song "Mindbender"?
Thanks!

		Interestingly enough, I just got an email with a fragment of the lyrics in it -- the very fragment I've been trying to decipher from my copy of the song.  I think I can transcribe the rest without a problem...
No, it's not for DW2, Star Ranger; I was more looking for a good candidate for another mind control song.  Strictly speaking, "Mindbender" probably isn't it -- it's about a guy who comes across a talking guitar in a pawnshop -- but I like the refrain, sung to a bluesy sort of tune...
"My mother was Gibson,
My father was a Fender,
That's why they call me
Mindbender..."
As for the Bangles song, no, I hadn't considered that.  For anything.

		While browsing through a pawn shop / 
I saw this old guitar / Its keys were bent 
and rusted / Its body scratched and scarred /
 Holy Moses, Would you believe that guitar 
began to talk? / (Spoken softly) I swear it 
did / Now It sounded like a beacon / I wasn't 
stoned or drinkin' / When I heard that talking 
guitar say... / My Daddy was a Gibson / My 
Mama was a Fender / That's why they call me... 
/ Mindbender... / Mindbender... That's what 
they call me / You better believe it / it was 
a mind bending thing / I said now listen guitar
 / what you trying to do? / People will think 
I'm crazy / if they see me talkin to you / He 
said / What's that you say? / I said you better 
hold your tongue / Now it sounded like a beacon 
/ I wasn't stoned or drinkin' / I swear I heard 
that guitar say / My Mama was a Fender / That's 
why they call me... / Mindbender... / Mindbender... 
That's what they call me / You better believe 
it brother / it was a mind bending thing

		WAY TO GO !!!!  I haven't heard that song since I was in 8th grade. And I've only heard it twice. Saw the movie "Almost Famous" lastnight (23 Nov 03). Pretty good, could've been better. I missed a chance to see Stillwater and Mothers Finest back in late 70's as a child. They were playing at Jekyll Island, GA. Can't quite remember why I missed it.

		On the copy of the song I have, the lead sings "That's my name" instead of "That's what they call me".  I can't see how the latter would scan, but it's probably just the way the arrangement goes.
