R.O.Y. was once described by the Nose as being almost as kickass as that time I did your mom.
Formed as a response to sheer boredom, the experimental-comedy duo R.O.Y. were originally in no way serious about this project. However, following a platinum album (The Tyna Turner Overload), a splendiforous tour of North America, and a triple law suit, it is clear their intentions have changed. The two sole members, Sonic McFlurry and the Nose, have been given the "Hyperactive Ten" and cited as "musical and comedic masterminds, the voices of a new, jackass generation...simply amazing!" After a long hiatus following various financial problems with R.O.Y.'s own record label, While My Walrus Gently Weeps Records, R.O.Y. has returned to finish their long awaited sophmore effort, Plaster Lincolns and the Lauren Effect. Soon after we will be putting together the highly anticipated boxset, R.O.Y.:The First Four Years! The set will include both of the first two albums including altenate versions of songs, outtakes, interviews, and Rarities. The set will also include the songs R.O.Y. released under the Bleedin Gums banner. (During a stay in Britain R.O.Y. played daily at both the Bexley Heath and Brinsley Schwartz Pubs. They performed under the title "The Bleedin Gums", with both band members adopting the name Mick Jones. During this stay they also record an EP, "Foreigner Sucks", as the Bleedin Gums at the legendary Wabbley Road Studios.

Story behind the song
Watching "The Two Towers" and "Return of the King" back to back while having watched "The Fellowship of the Ring" the night before, R.O.Y. was in full-on nerd mode when creating "Potatoes of the Gods".
Lyrics
Sit here all day and eat potatoes and stew I am a hobbit and I... just stepped in poo What made matters worse is I don't wear shoes I just walk around with a couple of...other dudes We've got this big ring that we have to destroy I don't understand. The bling... gives me joy And the potatoes and gods occupy all my time and I can't think of anything else... that rhymes Frodo is here and Gollum too Yet it appears there... are no jews Just keep my potatoes and don't say too much I am fat so sometimes I eat... Frodo's lunch Gandalf is white now he used to be grey Why does everyone... think I'm gay? And the potatoes and gods occupy all my time And I can't think of anything else... that rhymes Potatoes and gods x4
