Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mardi Gras is the seventh and final album by Creedence Clearwater Revival, released on April 11, 1972. Behind the scenes, there was friction between John Fogerty and his bandmates that started to rear its ugly head after the release of their prior album Pendulum. With John assuming a bulk of the band's songwriting and production duties leading up to this, his brother Tom quit the band after a dispute to assume greater creative input, and afterwards John agreed to split his duties roughly evenly between the remaining members. By the Summer of 1971 they released the single "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" with Stu Cook's "Door to Door" as the B-side. After another recording session the following January, the album finally saw release, selling well enough to be certified Gold but receiving mixed reviews at the time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })"Someday Never Comes" was also released as a single around the same time of the album, peaking at #25 in the Hot 100 and being commonly regarded as the best song to have come out of the album. The following October, Creedence Clearwater Revival dissolved for good, with its members not in talking terms to this day. | |

Generation Xerox | |
| Mardi Gras (Music) / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: The narrator of "Someday Never Comes" ends up abandoning his son just as his own father had done to him, and even offers up the same false assurance that "someday, you'll understand". | |

Disappeared Dad: "Someday Never Comes", where the father in the song was a deadbeat that left the family. | |

Step Up to the Microphone | |
| Mardi Gras (Music) / int_51f90774 | comment |
Step Up to the Microphone: The only album with vocal output from Stu Cook ("Take It Like a Friend", "Sail Away", "Door to Door") and Doug Clifford ("Need Someone to Hold", "Tearin' Up the Country", "What Are You Gonna Do") in roughly equal contributionsnote John still sung in four, but he wrote three with the remaining one being a cover. If you believe Doug and Stu's account, John threatened to quit the band and made them write and sing the songs. If you believe John, the two wanted more creative input and he was happy to oblige them. | |

Intercourse with You | |
| Mardi Gras (Music) / int_dbfe8427 | comment |
Intercourse with You: Stu's "Door to Door", which describes sex using analogies and wordplay about a travelling salesman doing a fabric cleaner demonstration ("first, you pull the curtain while I spread some here"), and John's "Sweet Hitch-Hiker", about a driver picking up a girl and getting oral sex, then later crashing his rig, hitching a ride with another girl and getting some more. Needless to say, this was a departure for the band, who until then primarily wrote songs about heartbreak and tender love (their few sexually charged tracks like "Good Golly Miss Molly" had mostly been covers), and never got any less ambiguous than "chooglin'". | |
