Drowning on Dry Land/Fish Soup

Drowning on Dry Land/Fish Soup

"Drowning on Dry Land/Fish Soup" is the second track off of Manfred Mann's Earth Band's 1978 album "Watch" and is a medley of two songs. The first song of the medley "Drowning on Dry Land" is a slow-paced pop rock song that follows on the heels of an acoustic guitar/vocal intro. "Fish soup" cuts in with a clever instrumental break and, leading up to the reprise of "Drowning on dry land", a lengthy guitar solo performed by Dave Flett.cite web |url=http://www.amazon.com/Watch-Manfred-Manns-Earthband/dp/B00000IB46|title= Manfred Mann's Earth Band Watch album | accessdate= 2008-06-30] The first section was deleted on the single release, and the title was changed to Bouillabaisse which is the French title for "Fish Soup". The instrumental part of the track, "Fish Soup", bears a resemblance to A Taste of Honey's "Boogie Oogie Oogie" given that it has the same funky disco beat and bass line.
