![]() Lunch, Recess, & Detention (2012) [ larger cover art ] |
Mr. Fisheræ¯ Magic Monkey Wrenches
Plumbing Service
Open in the trenches
All the la-de day long
With a la-de-da-de day song
And his girl, Sally Pickwit
Fancied chemistry and
Made some liquid
For her radiator
Now she was on the tele
With a heater full of jelly
mmm
That was not why she called him today
She was missin him so
That was not what she called him to say
She was rarin to go
She said æarry can you hear the rotor callin?Why dont we climb into the old
jalopy?
Ride on down to Abalon
With a picnic basket like old times and have a beer
Like old times and have a beer
Weæ£l disappear into the sunset
And Mr. Fisheræ¯ Magic Monkey Wrenches
Plumbing Service
Closed on holiday and
Somewhere thereæ¯ a gasket
Stuck inside a picnic basket
mmm

I don't get it. Why be so uptight? Why not let go and enjoy being alive? You might then start liking and enjoying songs like this one too. This. And I like this song, so nyaaaa to all the grumpy people. |

| Bacadiar (((Detroit))) | Posted: Aug 17, 2012 - 06:50 Reminds me of Tally Hall. Nice little light-hearted tune. |
| mostling | Posted: Aug 10, 2012 - 14:39 Reminds me of the silliness from "The Shop Vac" song by Jonathan Coulton |
| idiot_wind | Posted: Aug 10, 2012 - 14:37 All right I quit. This music is freakin pathetic and the other stations are playing R n R. See ya. |
| colt4x5 (scree field.) | Posted: Aug 09, 2012 - 20:38 Call me cynical, but this just reminds me of The Little Mermaid. |
| bluecshells | Posted: Jul 25, 2012 - 08:53 Fun lyrics...just makes me think about how much I need a beach vacation. |

Completely different sound that smelling sex and candy... indeed i would have put them on the "forgotten" one-hit-wonder (in my opinion) list. this is...not that impressive, but then again, i'm not often blown away by the reggae sound as most people are. |
