Soul Coughing, 1992-2000, was a New York-based band founded by vocalist and guitarist Mike Doughty(who billed himself at the time as 'M. Doughty'), a folk singer (he attended Eugene Lang College with Ani DiFranco, where they studied with Sekou Sundiataand played around the school together), slam poet, sometime music writer, and doorman at the old Houston Street location of The Knitting Factory, then a nexus for such avant-garde artists as John Zorn . Doughty put the band together from instrumentalists he met as they came through the club; he met sampler player Mark De Gli Antoni(recently graduated with a composition degree from Mannes College of Music) when they both participated in a performance of Zorn's "game piece" Cobra. This same ensemble also featured Jeff Buckley. Doughty brought a stack of CDs over to De Gli Antoni's house one afternoon and had him sample iconic riffs from Raymond Scott, Carl Stalling, Howlin' Wolf, and The Andrews Sisters, among others.

St. Louise Is Listening Lyrics
Soul Coughing
I stopped the thought before it's drip became insistent
I rubbed it out and loved the spot where it was missing
She's widely known the only maquereau that pays her taxes
I got to box her for the money, said it might end
Reeling and stubling, i've got to bump around a while
You don't use words like that, st. louise is listening
You rang the eskimo to meet you at the station
Oh he's like milk to you half swedish and half asian
And your aphasia strikes a bargain with the barter yard
I got to box you for the money, said it might end
Reeling and stumbling, i've got to bump around a while
You don't use words like that, st. louise is listening
I could be your babydoll, i could be your doll baby
I could be the things you want i could do it all for you
Let me get up on it, let me let me
