Sounds like a pretentious white rich kid, first year of community college, reading bad pseudo-poetry in the basement coffee house, in the vain hopes of getting into a groping session with the barrista at the end of the evening, because he (falsely) believes that he is the shit, when in reality he's just really shitty.

This song totally makes me want to move to L.A.
NOT!!!
Go Giants!!

I think he's channeling Pere Ubu's Dave Thomas.

I was thinking this reminds me of Poe's brother, who narrated "Hey Baby" - Spoken Version.

Like the other narrated song, this blows. Solid "1".

I swear it sounds like Dan. Big time. Dragnet style.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Putting bad writing over music doesn't make the writing any better, more interesting, or more worth listening to.

Wow. It is sort of intense. But if I have to decide whether to love it or hate it...well. God it really is awful, but I guess I like it in a bizarre sort of way. It is unapologetically whatever it is.

Only 87 people gave this a 1.The rest made typos.

Cool

No No don't make me go to Reseda! For a second I thought Dan Ackroyd was doing a William Shatner thing.

Hate it.

You can see from the ratings distribution that this is largely a love-it-or-hate-it kinda song.

I'm on the 8 side of things here :-)

You either love it or hate it. I, for one, love it.

Hey, don't be stingy with that cheese grater! I need it, too!!! This is awful.

Bought it on iTunes. Every time I listen to it (typically on way to workout at 5:00am) I like it more.

I'll gladly pay if it means I don't have to listen to it again.....by the way, that sure does look like Ms. Crabtree!!! good eye Alfalfa!

That'll cost you extra.

holy shite that song really sucks. I think I'd rather take a cheese grater to my fore-head than endure another session....

i will say that this was overplayed on the radio station i listened to when it came out (well before sheep go to heaven as suggested by someone below), but eventually someone i knew bought the album....in the context of the album this song works very well and as a whole the album is excellent. but i can feel for people who think that this one song thrown in the mix is a little weird....

This song is so bad I had to stop lissssssssning, stop lissssssssning, stop lissssssssning, stop lissssssssning, stop lissssssssning, stop lissssssssning, stop lissssssssning, stop lissssssssning,

Shite!

Is that Miss Crabtree in the space helmet?

I'm a BIG fan of really well done spoken-word songs, this being one of them. Solid 8.

Not so much horrible, but as surreal as it really is.

One of my favorite Soul Coughing/M Doughty songs... True Dreams of Wichita followed by this song on Ruby Vroom is a great combo. Thanks for playing this RP! *cheers*

Los Angeles loves, love.

Such a fitting line for the Deathstar.
