A less than profound message from Mr Sumner...
Hey, mighty brontosaurus
Don't you have a lesson for us?

Not sure this is an example of one of their best, but worth noting that they produced something else. The chorus almost sounds like "Walking in Your Food Stamps" - a sign of the times???

Intriguing tune...and somewhat risky. Not many songs hold your interest by staying on the same chord throughout the entire song. I personally find it a bit dull. There are a handful of tunes, that have charted, that only have ONE chord that never change. "Coconut" by Harry Nillsson is a good example. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson I think qualifies. Can anyone else think of one?

Don't know why, but this really makes me want to hear We'll Make Great Pets. The dinosaur reference, maybe.

The lyrics aside, ahem, the tune itself is a toe-tapper!

I dont know why, but I never hear footsteps, whenever he says it I just hear foodstamps. I know makes no sense but I cant unhear it. |

The brontosaurus was named "Dino"; Pluto was a dog, silly. |

How is that bad? You want to create a law against using near rhymes? Every artist on the RP playlist would be doing hard time. |

Shark jump was done quite a while ago.
Went to a concert of his a while back when he mailed it in. Last stop on his tour, but apparently my $90 per ticket wasn't worth him putting in the effort.

Sheesh, I dunno. How would you rhyme with the word Brontosaurus, when you're not being utterly pedantic? Forgiving the Police for the Brontosaurus thing is like forgiving, oh, any astronomer for calling it Pluto.
