The Guana Batz formed in 1982 in Feltham, Middlesex and they frequently performed at the Klub Foot, an early psychobilly club. In 1983 they recorded a wild punk piece that revolves around bats and their guano, “Guana Rock” (see below RK-PK18), so this song could well be the origin of their name. In May 1984 “The Cave” reached position 6 on the UK Indie Charts.

The Venue opened in London's Victoria in 1978, owned by Virgin records. This live version was originally released as a free single with first 5,000 copies of their 1982 LP, “The Beginning of the End.” Even though this limited edition single was released simultaneously with the LP, this live version of the song was obviously recorded at an earlier date on June 12, 1982. This is definitely a livelier version than the studio one on the LP. The 2008 reissue CD has this live version as one of five bonus tracks.

Do the caveman

Well, if you wanna join us, you can enter our cave, You can do the guana too, but you better behave; Our place may be down, it may not be well lit, But we're findin' with our senses smellin' – an' cover you with shit.

About my best friend For she loved her caveman But he didn't love her.

Neanderthal woman on the dance floor. This Dutch group's name was taken from A.A. Milne's children's book Winnie the Pooh, where piglet's house, which is in the middle of a hollow beech tree, has a broken board sign outside the door reading "Trespassers W…" (i.e. Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted). However, the songs that this group performs and this song in particular are far removed from the context of Winnie the Pooh.

For information about Plato’s Allegory of the Cave see under Spoken Word – Adult – Non Fiction – Philosophy. The first stanza starts it off –

Johnny left the cave about an hour ago An hour’s worth of facing something he does not know Take a picture of your hometown, boy Nothing but shadows on the wall Crying, laughing, “You better run like hell,”…fall.

Then the Chorus tells of the escape – Let’s you and I run down to the ocean

Let’s you and I embrace ‘til we’re one Stare at the moon until we’re hypnotized I’m out of Plato’s Cave and thank God I’m alive.

The third and last stanza goes straight to Plato –

Tonight a million people will watch the shadows dance Tonight a million people will deny a wondrous chance Tonight a million people will cling to what they already know And tonight Johnny’s living ‘cause he learned to let go.

American LP: MADE IN FRANCE Cachalot CA 130 12" 33rpm (Sd 2 – Bd 2) Notes: The lyrics tell how the singer's lover ran off with a wolf to the caves of Rocamadour. This village in southwest France clings to the sides and base of a limestone cliff in the Causse de Gramat area of the Lot department not far from the celebrated pit-cave, Gouffre de Padirac. A subterranean church under the basilica has the relics of Saint Amadour and has been one of many famous pilgrimage sites here since the Middle Ages. "No less than 50 caves are listed for this community of which a dozen are located in the village itself," (Chabert 2003) such as Grotte de Malbec, Grotte de Salgues, or Grotte de Templiers. The closest show cave is the Grotte des Merveilles (only 500 meters from town), which is 62 meters long and has a few faded Aurignacien wall paintings. Popular accordion music, called "musette," is often associated with the sound of Paris and all of France, but Blanchard is making rock music with his accordion. Beauvarlet writes, "C'est le prototype même du tube… ‘Rock Amadour’ réjouit et pousse quelques audacieux à la fredonner en fin de banquet. Elle donne a ceux qui l'entendent ce que Blanchard voulait y mettre: le goût de la fête." (Beauvarlet 1989) [It's the very prototype of the hit record. "Rock Amadour" entertains people and urges a few bold ones to hum it at the end of a banquet. It gives to those willing to hear what Blanchard tried to put into it: the taste for festivity.] Accordingly, this song was include as the second entry on the playlist for the "Bal Spéléo," which followed the banquet at the 2000 National Congress of the Fédération Française de Spéléologie in Ariège. Beauvarlet adds, "On écoute ’Rock Amadour,’ farce de potache: ‘Mon amour est parti avec le loup – Dans les grottes de Rocamadour…’ et on se dit: voilà un joyeux drille, un aimable plaisantin qui n'aspire qu'à faire rigoler. Sans remarquer, mais qu'importe! l'astuce majeure de la chanson: il n'y a pas de grotte à Rocamadour." (Beauvarlet 1989) [One listens to "Rock Amadour," a schoolboy farce – "My lover ran off with the wolf to the caves of Rocamadour" – and one says: here's a jolly fellow, a lovable joker who only aspires to make people laugh. Without noticing, but who cares, the major trick of the song – there are no caves at Rocamadour.] When asked specifically about this in 1983, Gérard gave me the impression that he didn’t know there were any caves right at Rocamadour. He admitted that he was not referring to any specific cave in the text but only the caves in general which abound in that area. One French critic remarked that "il écrit des texts qui sont des perles de surréalisme fatigué, qu'il chante d'une voix creulle et écoeurée. 'Mon amour est parti avec le loup dans les grottes de Rocamadour' donne

l'occasion au saxo de chialer comme un malpropre, alors que l'accordéon, lui, se tient très bien. Il arrive même à ne pas faire poétique." (Guillaume 1982) [He writes texts that are pearls of weary surrealism, which he sings with a harsh and disgusted voice. "My lover ran off with the wolf to the caves of Rocamadour" gives the sax an opportunity to weep real nasty-like while the accordion holds up very well. He even manages not to be poetic.] This song was written four years previous to the recording. (Moyne 1982) Regarding this first break into the record business, Gérard told how two directeurs artistiques (A & R men) from Barclay Records came to hear him at a café-téâtre in Paris. He was later invited to record some demos and was told – “T’enregistré tout de suite et c’est un 33 tours.” [You record right away and it will be an album.] He tells in his interview with Bar-David – “On a enregistré en Juin, à Ferber, dans une ambiance méga-joint et whisky orange. En fait, tout a pratiquement été fait live avec trois (sic) musiciens et j’ai rajouté la voix à la fin. En dix jours, ‘Troglo Dancing,’ était en boite, mixages compris.” (Bar-David 1982) [We recorded in June at Studio Ferber in an atmosphere of giant joints and whiskey-orange juice. In fact practically everything was done live with three (sic) musicians and I added my voice later. In ten days, “Troglo Dancing,” was in the can, mixing completed.] A selection from this song was included in my paper, “Caves Celebrated in Recorded Music and Songs,” which was presented in July 1996 during the international symposium, “Caves in the Arts,” in Jósvafö, Hungary.

Perf: LUTIN BLEU Fredo (Polo) (vocal & guitar) Ludo (Jean-Claude) (vocal & bass) Lionel (drums) Yo (journalist) Fish (café waiter) Prod: Lutin Bleu Prod. Co: S. Remco; France Liner Notes: Lutin Bleu Time: 5:11 (4:49) CD: LEUR BONHEUR EST TOTAL Salut 001 (Tk 12) Notes: This farcical spoof on caving talks about caving throughout. It is billed as – “Un voyage siderant au centre de la terre … Jean-Claude et Polo vont faire les mains dans les cavernes.” [A stupefying trip to the center of the earth … Jean-Claude and Polo are going give the caves a try.] This rock trio from Grenoble were practicing in a cellar and experimenting with reverberation on the guitar when they discovered a “plic – ploc” sound and immediately thought of the subterranean world and caves. Ludo started singing, “He, lo, lo, lo, la spéléo, lo, lo, lo, la spéléo.” (In the song, Polo and Jean-Claude are trapped for 8 days with no light and no rope in a pit cave in the Lozere department.) However, the Lutin Bleu group have never gone caving and since doing this song they are afraid to try. (Doucé 2002) Water drops are heard, barking, mumbling back and forth in the cave, and then singing. Someone says – “Look out where you’re walking!” Cries are heard and someone falls down a drop. “Polo, you OK?” After Stanza 6 – The cavers start seeing things – Jean-Claude: “Oh, Polo, a lark on the bridge!” Polo: “Oh, that’s magnificent!” Jean-Claude: “It’s saying to us, good day.” Polo: “Good day, lark, you have done tough exploring.” Then a journalist on the surface speaks to his television public. Following the last verse of Stanza 7 – “The best thing is to go get

a drink.” The waiter in a café speaks: “What will it be for you

gentlemen?” Jean-Claude: “A Montallo (?).” Waiter answers: “Oh, la, la, la, la, a Montallo, la, la, la?”

Then they go back and change the chorus to –

La Montallo, c’est pas facile Montallo, it’s not easy La Montallo, c’est du boulo-lo-lo-lo Montallo, it’s work.”

And then – La météo, c’est pas facile The weather report, it’s not easy La météo, c’est du boulo-lo-lo-lo The weather report, it’s work.”

A voice comes in and asks – La spéléo, la spéléo, c’est ressenti, la spéléo Caving, caving, it’s experienced, caving La spéléo, la spéléo, c’est clair, du travail, la spéléo Caving, caving, it’s clear, you work, caving Mais, cliniquement, comment c’est la spéléo But, clinically speaking, how is it caving?

(Reponse) C’est du boulo. (Answer) It’s work.

This is followed by gibberish words and the whole thing ends with cries of anguish. For the complete lyrics with English translation see under Rock Song Lyrics.
