Prairie oyster may refer to:
A Prairie Oyster (or prairie cocktail) is a drink consisting of a raw egg, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt and ground black pepper. The egg is broken into a glass so as not to break the yolk, which causes the drink to bear a similarity to the texture of an actual oyster. The drink is typically served as a hangover cure.
Ingredients for Prairie Oyster:
Crack the egg into a glass, leaving the yolk unbroken. Douse it with Worcestershire sauce, a sprinkling of salt and pepper, and Tabasco sauce.
Prairie Oyster is a Canadian country music group from Toronto, Ontario. They were named Country Group or Duo of the year six times by both the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) and the Juno Awards. The band also won the Bud Country Fans' Choice Award from the CCMA in 1994. They have four No. 1 country singles in Canada, with an additional 12 singles reaching the Canadian Country Top 10. Eight of their albums have been certified gold or platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association, including the 1992 CCMA Album of the Year Everybody Knows.
Prairie Oyster formed in 1974 in Toronto. As a trio, consisting of singer/bassist Russell deCarle (born May 31, 1954), guitarist Keith Glass (born 1952) and steel guitarist Dennis Delorme, they toured and performed on television, but did not record. They subsequently broke up in 1978.
In 1982, the band reunited, adding fiddler John P. Allen, keyboardist Joan Besen and drummer John Adames to the lineup. Bruce Moffat soon replaced Adames, and the group released its debut album, Oyster Tracks, in 1986 on Stony Plain Records. The album found its way to RCA Records executive Joe Galante, who signed the group after seeing them perform. RCA wanted the band to change their name, but they were already too well known. Prairie Oyster was named Country Group or Duo of the Year at the Juno Awards in 1986 and 1987.
Oh, I don't look the way the one you dream about should
look.
I know ev'rything about me is all wrong!
But, while your heart's still free,
Won't you look past what you see?
Will I do 'til the real thing comes along?
You don't dream about me when you go to sleep at night
You've been waiting for the Right Man for so long
But, Darlin', I don't care;
If you need me, I'll be there.
Will I do 'til the real thing comes along?
I've been tried, and, I'm true
But, I ain't been tried by you
Please let your heart belong to me just temp-o-rar-i-ly
Though I know there'll come a day someone might
Steal your heart away...
Will I do 'til the real thing comes along?
Though I know there'll come a day someone might
Steal your heart away...
