Peter Erickson and Mark McClellan formed OFFICER 67 in late 1990 in Norman & began playing around the Norman OK and OKC area. We later were graced to have the talents of Dean Brown on drums and vocals. Our style is acoustic and we play anything from Beatles to Crowded House, from REM to Wilco. Originals and an album followed when Frank Lawrence, of FLAWRENCE & BEGEL loaned us recording equipment to capture original songs being performed live. With that, Endless Game was recorded and produced with the help of Darla Miller on backup harmonies and Frank Lawrence with studio production.

Story behind the song
I actually wrote this song while watching a Monday Night football game. I was baby sitting my 6 month old son and just put him in the battery operated baby swing. Best invension since sliced bread. As I watch him make faces and squirm, this song came about.
Lyrics
Rockin' all day in the baby swing It's a rockin' and rollin' crazy ol' thing Daddy straps me in and he walks away And I'm a reelin' and rockin' for the rest of the day CHORUS I've got the baby, baby swing blues I've got the baby, baby swing blues I've got the motion sickness, without a doubt Everything's spinnin' and a movin' about Won't you please let me out of these baby, baby swing blues My eyes are crossed and my tongue's stickin' out They're laughin' at me and they won't let me out Spinnin' and shakin' and movin' around Please stop this thing and put me back on the ground A fresh set of batterys and don't you know They'll flip it on high and away I'll go They think I'm rockin' off to dreamland But I'm as sick as a dog, why can they understand
