Song Details[edit | edit source]
As with many of the Craters of the Sac songs, the exact recording date of "Makin' Love in the Gravy" is unknown, but it is thought to have been recorded sometime around 1998. It was first played live August 3, 2024 in Missoula, Montana.[1]
Gene Ween said in an interview that the song's musical style was inspired by ZZ Top. He explained the lyrics by saying: "I love brown gravy over open-faced sandwiches, french fries, pot roast etc. It’s a fantasy to marry the act of lovemaking with one of my favorite foodstuffs. Hot, thick brown and peppery."[2]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Come and see your sweet sugar daddy baby
You don't have to act like a lady
Tonight I got the keys to the city baby
And if you went home it'd sure be a pity
It's alright now babyMakin' love in the gravy
It's alright now
Take a little puff of this love I'm givin' babyNever gonna die, that's how I'm livin'
Body to body, belly to belly baby
Rollin' around on the bed like jelly
It's alright now babyMakin' love in the gravy
It's alright now [3]
