You cited allmusic and said it was noted for its crude sense of humor...this is likely a lie..."Was" noted suggests that at the time it was noted for this...unless you have a source from the time period, this seems a little off. I don't get people using allmusic for anything, seems rather "sloppy." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.28.160.153 (talk) 15:52, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
songlist edit
Funny, I think I'd remember a song called "Looking for Pussy". Were there different versions of the album? —Tamfang (talk) 15:52, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- tracklist was taken from Allmusic.com: [1]. The song does not seem all that out of character from the stuff that Shel Silverstein wrote for the group, which did tend towards the bawdy. I have no idea if the album had different versions for different markets, or if different releases carried different songs, but Allmusic is the only reliable source I have, so I went with it. If you have a better published source, that would be helpful. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 16:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- What did I say to imply that Silverstein would not write such a song, or that Dr Hook would not perform it? (When you say "The song does not seem..." do you mean you've heard it? or are you commenting on the title?) I'm only saying that, unless my memory is bad in an atypical way, there was no such song on my copy of the album (which may or may not still be in a box in my garage; if I dig it out is that WP:OR?). —Tamfang (talk) 05:53, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

- There was a 'real' Freaker's Ball that Capt. Hook & the band played at, held on Oct 31, 1973 at an upstairs hall in the Larchmont District in Los Angeles, CA It was sponsored by Rolling Stone Magazine in honor of the Capt Hook hit that year of the S. Silverstein song of Freakin At the Freakers Ball & their Song hit of 'On The Cover Of the Rolling Stone also on this same album. Some say the first Freakers Ball was held in Santa Cruz, CA a number of years later. However, the original was this one in 1973. Meme1970 (talk) 21:00, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
