This show never lets me down.
So That’s What He’s Singing
Heard this on First Wave the other day and realized I never knew the words to this Fables of the Reconstruction classic. So here they are, the lyrics to which you also probably mumbled along back in the mid-Eighties.
When the world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Kick the clay that holds the teeth in
Throw your trolls out the door
If you’re needing inspiration
Philomath is where I go by dawn
Lawyer Jeff, he knows the lowdown
He’s mighty bad to visit home
(I’ve been there, I know the way)
Can’t get there from here
(I’ve been there, I know the way)
Can’t get there from here
(I’ve been there, I know the way)
Can’t get there from here
(I’ve been there, I know the way)
When your hands are feeling empty
Stick head jumping off the ground, ground
Tris is sure to shirr the deer out
Brother Ray can sing my song
CHORUS
Hands down, Calechee bound
Landlocked, kiss the ground
Dirt of seven continents going ’round and ’round
Go on ahead, Mr. Citywide, hypnotized, suit-and-tied
Gentlemen, testify
If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath, they know the lowdown
Throw your trolls out the door
CHORUS
What was that name again?
Barreracudas… ? Ok
This song punches every one of my rocky dopamine receptors right in the pants. In a good way.
This Place Seems Pretty Groovy
Memphis in the early 1970s. As one of the comments pointed out, that’s the Hernando de Soto Bridge being built at the 10:30 mark.
Also Funny
Every shade of your mom’s lipstick.
Julius Pringles?!
I’m dying.
Spitting Image Is Still Around
And still pretty funny.
