“Stop This Car” by The Woodentops

"Stop This Car" comes from Wooden Foot Cops on the Highway, the Woodentops' 1988 album, and it's Rolo's song top to bottom: Rolo wrote it, played acoustic guitar, sang, and co-produced it with Scott Litt. The guest list is the story. Bernie Worrell adds clavinet, Gary Lucas plays slide guitar, Doug Wimbish joins Frank De Freitas on bass and Fred Maher sits in on percussion, while Simon Mawby's guitar, Benny Staples' drums and Anne Stephenson's violin and keyboards hold the middle. Nearly everyone sings, which gives it the feel of a gang piling into the back seat.
