And the muscular cyborg German dudes
Dance with sexy French Canadians

I've got soul but i'm not a soldier

I've got legs but i'm not a legend.

Now, I'm going to make you dance,
It's your chance,
Yeah boy, shake that ass
Oops, I mean girl... girl, girl, girl...

Eminem I do believe.
And I've always been a sucker for these lines, despite knowing they're pretty heinous, I think they are brilliant for some unbeknownst reason...

My best friend's a butcher,
He has sixteen knives
He carries them all over the town
At least he tries
Oh look it stopped snowing

Oh Andrew WK is in my book all over the place for this. Pretty much all of the track "I Get Wet" is retardedly brilliant in my eyes. Especially the line...

"I get wet
Without even trying
I get wet
When I know that you're dying"


or who can forget this ballbuster

"I love
New York City
Oh yeah
New York City"


Yes, Andrew WK is retardedly fun. And now with that said, I think he had a dvd come out today of concert footage which may or may not feature my friend and I. I think I'll go nab that up now, thank you very much.

I was just on his site (and what a derangedly excellent intro it has, too), and noticed that DVD. I need it. Need it bad. I loved his debut to ridiculous levels.

Yeah, I remembered a few years ago AWK was playing Bottom Longue and at that show, a camera crew came up to my friend and I and just left the camera pointed at us. No prompts no nothing, so my friend starts yelling into the camera how Andrew WK is god and he parties harder than anyone ever has before. It was truly a thing of beauty. I'm hoping that somehow makes the dvd.

Oh yeah, and I once gave Andrew WK a cake. True story. It was called the Andrew W-Cake and had a picture of "I Get Wet" on there with the words "Cake It Off" written around it. AWK got so excited he picked me up on his shoulders and started yelling incoherrantly. One of the greatest/filthiest feeling nights of my life.
The Good Dr Bill
when you were young and your heart was an open book
you used to say live and let live
(you know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
but if this ever-changing world
in which we live in
makes you give in and cry
say live and let die

When I was a baby, I never needed diapers
And when I was in gradeschool, I thought I was a spider
I went to baby college
Started smokin' baby weed
My high school was in China
But I don't even live there

"i'm gonna ge- ge- get you drunk"

i swear though, the rest of that song is worthless...

I took a shower and I put on my best blue jeans
I picked her up in my new V double U van
She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath
I said "Hi", she said, "yeah, I guess I am"

oh man, the chorus to DYS "wolfpack"

Wolfpack! Don't give us any shit
Wolfpack! Or you're gonna get hit

the "problem with you" speech you gave me was fine
I like the theories about my "little stage"
and I swore I was listening
but I started drifting
around the part about me acting my age

Dude was playing around like he thought we was racing
A hundred miles an hour and he lost control
And slammed my car into a telephone pole
I ran to the car I said man you okay
He said yeah so I punched him in the face

edit-hmm. I don't think this is bril, just kinda dumb I guess...ah well.

They Might Be Giants have a knack of writing silly music, and really nasty lyrics. This is my fave:

Twisting In The Wind

She set your goldfish free
And now she's sighing
Blew out your pilot light
And made a wish
She doesn't have to have her DB's record back now
There's not a lot of things that she'll take back
She wants to see you again
She wants to see you again
Slowly twisting in the wind
Twisting, twisting, in the wind
She's not your satellite
She doesn't miss you
So turn off your smoke machine and Marshall stack
She doesn't have to have her Young Fresh Fellows tape back now
There's not a lot of things that she'll take back
She wants to see you again
She wants to see you again
Slowly twisting in the wind
Twisting, twisting, in the wind

It's not the lyric, it's the very happy peppy keyboard that carries the tune.

With her high leg stockings and her sweater so tight
I asked her name,

She can read.
She can read.
She can read.
She can read, she's ba-ad.

I'm a winner, man

fountains of wayne has some of my favorite lyrics. a personal highlight from "i'll do the driving"

we go out
jukebox plays jumpin' jack flash
she says 'i love johnny cash'
'the man in red'
i turn my head
pretend not to hear what she said.
