We probably could have guessed that back in the days of "pompatus of love".

However, it turns out there's an interesting story about that, though it's still not English.

nobody callin' on the phone
'cept for the pope, maybe from rome

They say roses are red and violets are purple
And sugar's sweet and so is maple syrple
Well I'm seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun

isn't that whole song supposed to be campy though??



btw, was a classic phillies game commercial. that whole PECO series was pretty good.

I actually like the last two lines quoted. They both made me smile, if not lol. Not too much out there that does that.

And it feels like I am just to close to LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Yeah. Actually a song I've liked for 40 years. but that surple line merited a shout out.

Where's the "cool lyrics" thread?

Phil Hendrie did a great bit on his radio where he had a "music critic" call in and give his top ten rock and roll songs of all time. And the #1 song of all time was "What if God was on of us?". And then he put a bunch of angry callers on who called in to complain about it. One of the funniest things I've ever heard.

(there was no music critic, and there were no angry callers)

i wonder if i can find that online anywhere. sounds hilarious.

(but maybe you know that)

Do we all learn defeat
from the Whores with bad feet
Beat the meat (beat the meat!) treat the feet
to the sweet milky seat

He's pretty active about removing anything people post online, so it's hard to find his stuff.

Wow, thanks! I downloaded it and will give it a listen. I went to his site, but it's pretty tough to find anything specific as his main grouping is by 'character'. I will pay him monies to download his stuff if I can figure out how to consume it on my mp3 player. Right now I can only tell that I can use i-stuff of a PC.

I was a member like 5 years ago for a short time and they had every show on there basically. It looks like they don't have that anymore unfortunately. There are some shows you can get for free on itunes, but they are more recent so I have a feeling they're not that good. Even his 90's stuff was really hit and miss and I think he's gotten even more crotchety in his older age.

like Brody in Homeland

that album isn't too good

also,

twerk miley miley twerk

I don't pop molly, I rock Tom Ford

just has nothing left to say. and that breathy trailing thing he does at the end of every single line now is so done

the one Beyonce guest spot is killer though

I like how he made fun of himself/celebrities for complaining about celebrity on that JT joint

Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others

Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others
