All four of the original members worked at the Sound Warehouse record store on Camp Bowie in Fort Worth. The first lineup was: Todd Lewis (vocals and guitar), Charles Mooney (guitar), Lisa Umbarger (bass) and Guy Vaughan (drums). Their first show was at the Axis Club in Fort Worth on April 23, 1989 opening up for Burning Temple (whose bass player was Darrel Herbert) and Anonymous Dog. As Guy Vaughan was just filling in on drums temporarily to help out the band, his tenure lasted about a month and was replaced by Terry Valderaz. At this point, "Slaphead", their first demo, was recorded and was ma More... (Submit New Toadies Lyrics) (Submit New Toadies Lyrics) Review about Toadies Yall are all wrong. | Reviewer: wendy ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies The song is just a song. About a guy wanting a girl. I am from PK lake in texas. There are no stories of murders. Or vampires. No rapes. Nothing. Its just a damn song. PPl are so stupid to get vampires or murders out of the song. Just enjoy the song and quit trying to make up stories of it. The toadies have a place out here. And thats why its called Possum Kingdom. Becuz they wrote it here. Duh. If you dont believe me call them yourself and ask. I have the number. electrocuted | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Away performed by Toadies I feel haaaa! Here it goes, I was working in the bottom, of some oltpic divers new diving pool. Fourteen feet deep. I was in the bottom of the pool in about 2 and a half feet of water. Searching a good spot to place a submergable pump down to get the water out. While in the water a guy I worked with plugged it in. Wow, I could'nt believe it I was dying. Today, right fuckin now. I was 18 years. What happened next was soothing. I saw like, a slide show of the happy times in my life. Probably 10 photos of me being happy. I mean total calm happy. I really don't know how long I had been being electocuted. Man, Iwas so at peace. The only thing I kept thinking was I did'nt get to say goodbye to my Sister Mom and step Dad. I saw nothing but, white as this was happening. But, knew I was going somewhere beautiful. It's as soon as I took my first step it was starting to go backwards. I was thinking NO i don't wanna go back. It seems when i felt I was told to go back. The plug was pulled and I was there hoping someone would pull. The boss saw what was happening and made it happen. For about 3 sec's I felt good and the collapsed. I eventually crawled to the deck of this 14 feet deep pool. I layed for about 20 minutes on the deck and went back to work. I was on my way to be under the oldest trees. Peace adflk | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies Wrong, this song isn't about a "single rape." Quote from Toadies guitarist Todd Lewis: "It's just a story I heard long ago; it's just a really cool, eerie lake, and some stuff I heard and some stuff I just make up. I tend to do that," Lewis explains about the watering hole where his family used to hang out and barbecue. "They dammed up this big river up there, and it's got all these spooky names like Hell's Gate. It's really cool." There ya go. Not about a vampire | Reviewer: Chuck ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies I grew up in Ft. Worth and happen to know that this song is about a single rape. It's just a well written, dark song. To my knowledge, it's just fantasy about a camp counselor and his accidental victim. Vampires?? Really...There are a lot of stories out there about murders or bodies dumped in Possum Kingdom Lake. My brother has worked for the Palo Pinto county sheriff's dept for years. Those stories are false. Occasionally a body is recovered from the lake..cause of death, drowning. Please stop with all of the stories about murders, serial rapists, and the undead. Thanks. I'm sad | Reviewer: Kade ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies I'm not gonna lie i totally love this song and I absolutly hope it is not about some douchebag who rapes girls behind this so called "boathouse"...I mean honestly if this was a known thing, meaning it has happened more than once, so much so that these guys wrote a song about it. I'd really hope that they caught the guy. Never the less yes the dude who said it gives him a boner is clearly strange, but I love this song and prefer to think it is about vampires, or at least darkness not involving rape and murder. Vampires are so much more attractive than some ass taking what he can't get. vampires? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies The song is not about vampires and to the "boner dude"...it shouldn't get you excited...its actually kind of creepy that you would think that. The other people who posted that this song is about Possum Kingdom Lake/rape are correct. It's an awesome song, one of my favorites...but it is very dark and disturbing. There are a lot of videos out there that have nothing to do with the song that is playing. Maybe they had a hard time projecting the actual story of the song into a video...maybe they thought it would be too offensive or politically incorrect...who knows...the song isn't about vampires...but every person is entitled to their own opinion. favorite Toadies song, maybe favorite all-time | Reviewer: CheezerRox ------ About the song Tyler performed by Toadies Todd's a genius when it comes to music and lyrics. I mean, he'll write a song like "So Long Lovey Eyes" or "Mister Love," which are just plain hardcore, and then he'll go on and make songs like "Away" and "Tyler" and they're just so great, it blows your mind, man. These lyrics in particular are great, though. I mean, when I hear that line, "we will wake up," I always like to think it's adressed to the world. The world DOES need to wake up, grow up, and listen up. Thanks Todd. WRONG | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies Only a couple of you know what this song is about. A serial killer/rapist would bring girls to a lake near Dallas called possum kingdom lake. He would take a walk with them an rape them behind the boathouse that they talk about in the song. It's a really demented song but it's well written. I like it Its about the typical texan neocon | Reviewer: Fr33d0m ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies This song is about a Bush style neocons who gets everything he wants and kills anyone who does not provide it. Its about the typical Texan republican a-hole who will steal what he cant get, and ruin everything he touches. He is so spoiled that any denying of his appetites drives him to murder. Its about your typical Foxnews reporter so good | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies This song is so disturbing, I love it. The beat just really gets me going... I especially love the part where it's leading up to "Do you wanna die?" So great. I use this for inspiration when I want to write something reallyyyyyyyyy really dark. :) Solid rock song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Heel performed by Toadies This is a pretty rad song. Reminds me of Territorial Pissing by Nirvana. I'd suggest checking this band's other songs out, they rocked pretty hard. Best Band | Reviewer: Emily ------ About artist/band Toadies I have been a toadies fan since before i could talk and i love everything they do. i was at the past 4 concerts in dallas and i have to say they are amazing. wait, he wasnt | Reviewer: no body knows ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies The song WAS about a murdure that happened at a lake called Possum kingdom were the toadues lived, but I always wonder, why are they called "The Toadies"? That guy was right! | Reviewer: No one knows ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies The guy that said its about a vampire man (with a long cool silver gun!) is asking if she wants to become a va,pire and be his angel aka his lover and when he sais 'Do you wanna die?' he means 'Do you wanna be a vampire like me?' I go to youtube every day just to watch and listen to that video, and at the end of the video the vampire man suck the blood from her neck, the myth of the way humans are made into vampires. That guy I was talking about WAS right! Great | Reviewer: GH ------ About the song Pressed Against The Sky performed by Toadies Do yourself a favor listen to the whole CD. Its great and this is my Favorite. actually | Reviewer: that guy ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies its about an actual rape that happened at Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas around the Dallas/Fort Worth area (where they are from) but yeah...killer song too, love it Woww. | Reviewer: Vampire_Dreams ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies I'm guessing that you people are all really stupid! This song is clearly about a guy asking a beautiful human girl if she wants to die as in he is either going to kill her or let her stay with dark hair and soft skin like a vampire. The man asking her if she wants to die is a vampire who has bitten her neck and is either going to just let her die or love him and be vampires! Duhh! If you stupid people don't believe me than you can go onto Youtube.com and look at the videos. They are all of vampires. This song is about a murder | Reviewer: Love O'Neil ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies This song is about a serial killer. Possum Kingdom refers to a State Park somewhere out west or in the mid west where The Toadies are from. For the guy who said this song gives him a boner, maybe you should see someone about that. It is NOT a sexy song. It's pretty sick and demented. Rock!! | Reviewer: Sarah ------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies I love this song. Reminds me of me and my boyfriend...ahh yeah. plus it's fun to play in guitar heroII early Toadies pomo materials for sale | Reviewer: Leeloo ------ About artist/band Toadies I have early Toadies promo materials circa 1989 for sale.
