OK, since nobody here apparently has heard Crazy Town's one hit, "Butterfly",

I will move on with a different song.

"The other day I had a ricochet biscuit.

A ricochet biscuit is the kind of a biscuit that's supposed to bounce back off the wall into your mouth.

If it don't bounce back... you go hungry."

"Have you ever heard of a wish sandwich?

A wish sandwich is the kind of a sandwich where you have two slices of bread and you, hee hee hee, wish you had some meat.

Bow bow bow..."

If it don't bounce back... you go hungry."

"The other day, I had a cool water sandwich and a Sunday-go-to-meetin' bun.

Bow bow bow..."

Up every mornin' just to keep a job

I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob

Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain

While another day goes down the drain

Tradin' my time for the pay I get

Livin' on money that I ain't made yet

I've been goin' tryin' to make my way

While I live for the end of the day

Here's the whole song, with the title redacted:

Up every mornin just to keep a job

I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob

Sounds of the city poundin in my brain

While another day goes down the drain

But its a [TITLE] when the whistle blows

No one owns a piece of my time

And theres a [PARTIAL TITLE] me inside my clothes

Thinkin that the world looks fine, yeah

Tradin my time for the pay I get

Livin on money that I aint made yet

Ive been goin tryin to make my way

While I live for the end of the day

Cuz its a [TITLE] when the whistle blows

No one owns a piece of my time, and

Theres a long-haired girl who waits, I know

To ease my troubled mind, yeah

oh my lady, yeah

oh my lady, yeah

In the shelter of her arms everythings OK

When she talks then the world goes slippin away

And I know the reason I can still go on

When every other reason is gone,

In my [TITLE] she waits for me

Nothing else matters at all

Cuz every time my baby smiles at me

I know thats its all worthwhile,

yeah oh my lady,

yeah oh my lady, yeah

I want a girl who gets up early

I want a girl who stays up late

I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity

Who uses a machete to cut through red tape

With fingernails that shine like justice

And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

She is fast and thorough

And sharp as a tack

She's cruising the facility

And picking up slack

I thought I was excluded! :biglaugh:

I used to joke about this song from time to time (but not on the GSC.)

"Short Skirt, Long Jacket," by Cake.

If you like one Cake song, you'll probably like most of them.

(And if you dislike one, you'll probably dislike most.)

Cake did a show of some kind for Guitar Center. The singer, when he got to

the "na na na" part, prefaced it by prompting the audience.

Something like 'And then the audience, with no prompting, joined together

to sing the chorus." But a roomful of disaffected hipsters is NOT going

to play along, so that fell flat.

My reference to the "na na na" part, however, was from the video of the song.

It's awful, and I love it.

It's a video of total strangers who have never heard "Cake" listening to this

song and giving their impressions of it.

"I don't

Does anybody really care

care

If so I can't imagine why

about time.

We've all got time enough to cry.

Oh no, no.

And I was walking down the street one day.

Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock,

oh, so I just don't know,

I just don't know.

And I said, yes I said

People runnin' everywhere.

Don't know the way to go.

Don't know where I am.

Can't see past the next step.

Don't have to think past the last mile.

Have no time to look around.

Just run around, run around and think why"

Now troubles are many, they're as deep as a well.

I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

Here I go,

Hey Hey!

Here comes the devil,

Right Behind.

Look out children,

Here he comes!

Here he comes! Hey...

Don't want to go by the devil.

Don't want to go by demon.

Don't want to go by Satan,

Don't want to die uneasy.

Just let me go naturally.

I'm changing, arranging, I'm changing

I'm changing everything, ah, everything around me

The world is a bad place, a bad place

A terrible place to live, oh, but I don't want to die

All my sorrows, sad tomorrows

Take me back, to my old home

All my cryings, (all my cryings) feel I'm dying, dying

Take me back, to my old home (I'm going home)

No hits? So, it's Reflection of my life by ~The Marmalade~ singular not plural. ~The Bee Gee's~ covered it. So did ~The Hollies~

New tune:

Well I'll be damned

Here comes your ghost again

But that's not unusual

It's just that the moon is full

And you happened to call

And here I sit

Hand on the telephone

Hearing a voice I'd known

A couple of light years ago

Heading straight for a fall
