Is Dexter ill, Is Dexter ill, Is Dexter ill
Is Dexter ill today, Mr Kirk, Dexter's in school
I'm afraid he's not, Miss Fishpaw
Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand
The Baltimore County school board have decided to expel
Dexter from the entire public school system
Oh Mr Kirk, I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter's truancy
But surely, expulsion is not the answer!
I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer
It's the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane
That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic,
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch! What does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Ranagazoo, let's have a tune
Now I'll count three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth
Avalanches is above, business continues below
Did I ever tell you the story about
Cowboys! M-M-midgets, the Indians and Fron, Frontier Psychiatrist
I... I felt strangely hypnotized
I was in another world, a world of 20.000 girls
And milk! Rectangles, to an optometrist, the man with the golden eyeball
And tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin
I promise my girlfriend I'd, the violin, violin, violin ...
Frontier Psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier Psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier Psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier Psychiatrist
That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch, what does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Ranagazoo, let's have a tune
Now I'll count three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth
Frontier Psychiatrist
Can you think of anything that talks, other than a person?
A-a a-a-a-a, a bird? Yeah!
Sometimes a parrot talks
Hello hello hello hello
Ha ha ha ha ha !!!!
Yes, some birds are funny when they talk
Can you think of anything else?
Um, a record, record, record !

I agree that rap sucks (and drum & bass sucks too for that matter) but I never even considered that this is AT ALL like rap. I think of this in the same category of Portishead or Massive Attack or older groups like Enigma or Art of Noise. There is a lot that RP plays that sometimes makes me turn to another station (country, hick rock, CCR, Van Morrison, John Fogerty, Bob Dylan, etc), but then I appreciate the eclectic mix of RP and so I usually tolerate it for one or two "bad" songs. |

| dirtbagpook | Posted: Mar 04, 2013 - 20:26 Yup, entertaining absurdity and refreshingly different. |

It sucks. Now I switch over to Radioio eclectic. Bye. rap? hip hop maybe but more like sample-based electronic boogie-down funkiness. It remains a fine and creative piece of production whatever your personal preferences are. (I get that it's not for everyone though.) oh, and that video is incredible (thanks Geecheeboy.) The vision and complete buy-in from everyone involved harkens of something Wes Anderson might have created. |

| christopherwoods (West Midlands, United Kingdom) | Posted: Aug 28, 2012 - 11:20 From Knights of Cydonia into this, what a segue! I'll be donating again. |
| stf9 | Posted: Jun 26, 2012 - 15:02 More Avalanches, PLEASE. This was the big single but, in my opinion, one of the weakest cuts from a truly great album. |
| kmullinax | Posted: Jun 26, 2012 - 15:02 A masterpiece of an album. Not the best piece on the album but a fantastic one nonetheless. I'm shocked to hear this on RP. |
| Geecheeboy (under a crescent moon and palmetto tree) | Posted: May 25, 2012 - 18:26 Oh My Lord. see the video on the Youtubes. It is almost too much to show my grandchildren. But I LOVE it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLrnkK2YEcE&ob=av2e |
