Hello I'm Zan The Man. Many years ago I recorded some songs on a stero reel to reel tape recorder, and the results were not that great. When the old recorder broke I could't find anyone to work on it so I quit recording and ultimately quit playing. I was a disc jockey during this period of time playing music on the air and recording my own music at home in secret. My recorded music was only shared with a few close friends and family. Many years later when computers came to the station I was working at, I was not happy about that. I didn't know a thing about computers, and could care less. When I learned how to use a wave editor I began to see all the advantages of digital recording and editing, and how much easier it was. Over time national radio shows and computer automation made me decide to get out of radio. My live, on the air, radio show was in effect over. I guess I still have the urge to put my voice out there so to speak. That may be why I got my own computer with recording software so I could record songs again. I've gone from putting commercials on the radio, to songs on the internet. My songs were recorded back in 2007. When these songs are gone I'll decide then whether to record more or not. Thanks so much for the fans and support I've picked up along the way. Zan The Man Up-dated 8/8/09

Story behind the song
I worked with a woman that is not in charge of anything, but she acts like she is. She would fuss at me over anything and everything. I get the job done, but I don't do it exactly the way she would. I was having a bad day, and here she comes fussing at me, up one end and down the other over something I did. I didn't even remember the incident that she was fussing about. She had her say, and stormed off in a mad huff. I was mad by then and said to another employee, "That woman's got Mad Cow Disease." The other employee runs off to the back to tell everyone what I'd said. It was at this point that I thought, "OH NO, I'm in trouble now." Thats what happens most of the time when I say something when I'm mad. The next thing I know, I hear roars of laughter, from other employees in the back. I guess they thought it was a pretty good description. To make a long story short. I wrote "MAD COW DISEASE" about an ole boy that just can't seem to do anything right, no matter how hard he tries. I have felt like that in real life many times. We all have. In spite of it all we liked each other and I think everyone knew we did. We were able to tell each other the like it or not truth and that was still O.K. She is with the Lord now, but I think we all learned a lot from her. I know I did. She will be missed. Story up-dated with the passing of our friend and co-worker. 11/16/09
Lyrics
I think I got mad cow disease, women I never can please. I'm mad from my head down to my knees. Its because of my mad cow disease. My woman's not convinced, when she hears my defense, when I say I got mad cow disease. She says we should not fight, and I agree alright, but I can not help my mad cow disease. I think I got mad cow disease, women I never can please. If my clothes are on the floor, don't fuss at me no more, I think I got mad cow disease. (Short Guitar lead) I think I got mad cow disease. I'm nervous from my head down to my knees. Women I never can please. Its because of my mad cow disease. I think I got mad cow disease. I know I am so hard to please. If I pout and fuss tonight, I hope you'll hold me tight. I think I got mad cow disease.

Wow, this really did make me chuckle. There's so many comedy songs where the title outstrips the content but this was the other way. What a catchy, heart warming and yet utterly disturbing song! Bravo!
