Old 97'sare an "alt-country" band originally based in Dallas, Texas. The group formed in 1993 and took their name from a song popularized by Johnny Cash, "Wreck of the Old '97." They describe themselves as a rock band with influences as varied as The Kinks, The Beatles, Pixies, David Bowie, Johnny Cash, and Merle Haggard. The band often performs country standards made famous by the latter two musicians, and has interspersed a number of these on their half-dozen albums over the last decade. Old 97's have been heralded as a great live band, although they claim to never rehearse their act. They included five live songs as a bonus disc on Satellite Rides, and released a live double CD set recorded at historic Gruene Hall in 2005, Alive and Wired.

Singular Girl Lyrics

Old 97's

well you can tell it the radio
tell it to the television
they are not listening
they are only machines
i could sit around all day
worrying and wishing
i was one of them
so you can tell it to me
talking to you girl
is like long division, yeah
i've been trying to find you
may i remind you, i'm under oath now
i've been trying to see you
cuz i can see you, want the truth now
i've been trying to tell you
that i can tell you are
a singular girl
you got the teeth of the hydra upon you
singular girl, singular girl
well you can blame it on the moonlight
blame it on plate tectonics
you thought i wasn't listening
but i was
talk about attraction
talk about electronics
well you are the reason
you are because
talking to you girl
is like long division, yeah
i've been trying to find you
may i remind you, i'm under oath now
i've been trying to see you
cuz i can see you, want the truth now
i've been trying to tell you
that i can tell you are
a singular girl
you got the teeth of the hydra upon you
singular girl, singular girl
talking to you girl
is like long division, yeah
i've been trying to find you
may i remind you, i'm under oath now

that i can tell you are
a singular girl
you got the teeth of the hydra upon you

you got the teeth of the hydra upon you
