The Cobra Clutch - TheHumps

7th Dec 2021 07:28 - 4 years ago
Description : As kids, my brothers and I used to watch the WWF professional wrestling on Saturday mornings and one of the "characters" was a big dude who dressed as a US marine and had the moniker of Sgt. Slaughter. He used a submission hold called the Cobra Clutch. I recently watched the Ford vs Ferrari movie and was inspired by the great music in it. That's what this one is all about. Cool movie.

Great track - fun lyric and very fun, but cool and classy arrangement

Btw
IF you dont already know it check out The Mountain Goats 2015 album beat the champ - all inspired by wrestling
In my view their entire catalogue is worth checking out - and Ive seen the band live 3 times too (great)

Glad you liked it! The arrangement's a bit weird but it works.

I'll check the Goats out for sure, sounds like a fun listen already! Thanks!

As always very well wrote Wayne, very funny, laughing at this, so much character, just like wrestling, I have friends who are both pro cage fighters, UFC and Bellator, love the fight game all styles, tough boys step in the ring. And yep I watched wrestling as a kid, the English stuff though absolutely hilarious, big daddy, giant haystacks, kendo nagasackie, Mick macmanass. These where household names in the 70s uk,started Saturday early evening after the football results. I can't believe forty fifty years later their names just roll of my tongue, thanks for the memory jog :)))

It's pretty funny the things you remember from being young, wrestling was part of my youth. I grew out of it when the real world of working for a living kicked in. Hulk Hogan, Bruno Samartino, Bob Backlin.... memories! lol

Pista poderosa amigo Wayne, me gusta como suena, hasta los coros están en su punto. Tiene sensación de tocar en vivo, lo que me encanta. Gran final desvaneciéndose con la voz. Que tengas una buena noche compañero. Paz y salud.

A fun track you created here, Wayne! I used to watch wrestling all the time, strangely enough, I don't remember a Sgt. Slaughter, but yet I remember the signature move. This track is making me want to get back into now. Great track. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

Thanks, I grew out of it as I became a young adult but one of my brothers used to go to the live events all the time, real fanatical about it.

Here is a quick clip of Sgt. Slaughter demonstrating the Cobra Clutch in a radio studio on one of the announcers. Maybe this will help you remember him.

I remember the Undertaker and his ghoulish manager, lol.

Steve Austin was in a different federation so I knew of him but didn't get to see him too often.

Thanks!

Wayne, this is a fun track. It is well made, sounds good and the lyrics are just hilarious. You say you wrote them yourself?

You know, as kids, my brother and I also used to watch WWF wrestling on the weekends. If I remember correctly it was after the morning cartoons. Wow what a throwback. =D

Thanks Ella!

The lyrics are pretty funny, well, generally speaking wrestling was a hoot. It was wrestling for an hour, maybe 2 if we were lucky then it was the WLVI Channel 56(out of Boston) Creature Double feature which was 2 B rated horror films.

These were the good old days when you spent more time adjusting the antenna's to get better reception than watching the program.
