If you were to swap the quartet of white women who share a house in Miami in The Golden Girls for a trio of Black men jamming, tripping and co-habiting in the San Fernando Valley, you’d get Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted! Legendary cult musician Swamp Dogg has transformed his home into an artistic playground and “bachelor pad for aging musicians," where he and his roommates Moogstar and Guitar Shorty enjoy their retirement while continuing to experiment with music and sound. With over 50 years in the recording industry, Swamp Dogg has written, arranged, performed and produced more than 2,000 songs, worked on nearly 500 albums with hundreds of artists, and released 26 albums of his own. Despite this prolific output, he continues to create, because fun—not fame—is the name of the game. This wonderfully bizarre and inspiring reminiscence weaves Swamp Dogg and his friends’ current output, their friendships and funny non sequiturs together with past accomplishments and accolades in a music doc unlike any other.
