The Standells - Dirty Water flac album

Dirty Water" is a song by the American rock band The Standells, written by their producer Ed Cobb. The song is a mock paean to the city of Boston, Massachusetts and its then-famously polluted Boston Harbor and Charles River. The song's Boston and Charles River references are reportedly based on an experience of Cobb and his girlfriend with a mugger in Boston in the mid-1960s.

I'm gonna tell you a story I'm gonna tell you about my town I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby Aww, it's all about my town. Yeah, down by the river Down by the banks of the river Charles (aw, that's what's happenin' baby) That's where you'll find me Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves (aw, but they're cool, too) Well I love that dirty water Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, you're the Number One place) Frustrated women (I mean. Because I love that dirty water Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah). Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby) I love that dirty water (I love Baw-stun) I love that dirty water (Have you heard about the Strangler?) I love that dirty water (I'm the man, I'm the man) I love that dirty water (Owww!) I love that dirty water (Come on, come on). More on Genius. Dirty Water" Track Info.

In spite of the fact that the Standells were in California, this song is about the city of Boston and Boston Harbor and Charles River, which were notoriously polluted at the time. This was their first hit single. The line, "Frustrated women have to be in by 12 o'clock" refers to the curfew observed by Boston University co-eds at the time.

The single of Dirty Water was recorded in 1965 and the Standells album, Dirty Water, was recorded in 1966. So Ed Cobb flew up to Seattle where we recorded the Dirty Water album. We did the Standells first album in about three days and it was probably a four track studio. We were presented with a lot of the songs by local artists like Jim Valley, who wrote Little Sally Tease and eventually joined Paul Revere & the Raiders.
