Supertramp - Breakfast in America (Live In Paris '79)

Great song!

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of Supertramp performing Breakfast in America live in Paris, France in 1979 in honor of the fact that on June 23, 1979, Supertramp's "Breakfast in America" became the # 1 album in the United States.

Background of Supertramp from allmusic
'Supertramp followed an unusual path to commercial success in the 1970s, fusing the stylistic ambition and instrumental dexterity of progressive rock with the wit and tuneful melodies of British pop, and the results made them one of the most popular British acts of the '70s and ‘80s, topping the charts and filling arenas around the world at a time when their style of music was supposed to have fallen out of fashion.
Supertramp was formed in 1969 by pianist and vocalist Rick Davies. Davies had been a member of a group called the Joint, who had found a financial backer in Dutch millionaire Stanley August Miesegaes; Miesegaes had grown disenchanted with the Joint, but saw promise in Davies, and he offered to bankroll a new band if Davies wanted to launch a fresh project. Davies placed an ad in the British music weekly Melody Maker, and recruited guitarist Richard Palmer, percussionist Robert Millar, and vocalist/bassist Roger Hodgson. Davies initially dubbed the new band Daddy, but to avoid comparison with a number of other paternally named acts, he changed their billing to Supertramp, taking the name from a book by Welsh author William Henry Davies.'

Lyrics
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I've never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hopin', it's going to come true
But there's not a lot, I can do
Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
'Cos everyone's a millionaire
I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothin' better to do
Hey
Papararam pano daram no no no
Papararam pano daram no no no
Na na na nana na na na
Don't you look at my girlfriend
(Girlfriend)
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
(Girlfriend)
I've never seem to get a lot
(What she got in another land)
Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do
Hey
Papararam pano daram no no no
Papararam pano daram no no no
Hey aham
Hey aham
Hey aham
Hey aham
Hey aham
Hey aham
Hey aham
Hey aham
Na na na nana na na na"

One classic Supertramp performance inspires me to post a few more.
