King Kong
05:02
|
|||
Don’t get me wrong,
I love Jack Black
Adrian Brody is great
Naomi Watts is delightful, my friend
But I didn’t come here to see any of them
Get to the fucking monkey
Get to the fucking monkey
Get to the fucking monkey
Monkey
Don’t get me wrong
Don’t get me wrong
I love Lord of the Rings
Meet the Feebles was great
Heavenly Creatures I do recommend
But I didn’t come here to see any of them
Get to the fucking monkey
Get to the fucking monkey
Get to the fucking monkey
Andy Serkis is great in real life,
But he’s not who I paid my twelve bucks for
Don’t get me wrong
I’ve been here so long
And I haven’t seen Kong
It’s not brain surgery, is it? Why can’t it just be something like this? Opening credits, we’re in a boat, there’s an island in the distance. We hear a roar. It’s King Kong! He jumps on the boat and starts smashing stuff. End of Act 1. Act 2, the whole middle section of the film. Goes for about 10 minutes. Naomi Watts doing gymnastics. Act 3, New York. King Kong starts smashing stuff. There’s a short sex scene between King Kong and Naomi Watts. It’s tasteful though, it’s behind a screen. You just see it in silhouette. Suddenly, Roy Scheider appears. He throws a cylinder of oxygen into King Kong’s mouth and he shoots him and he explodes! The end.
Get to the fucking monkey
Get to the fucking monkey
Other films that would benefit from getting to the motherfucking monkey!
Gatesy: Titanic. Opening scene, iceberg! Smash, sinking, sinking, sinking, drown, Leo, drown! Roll credits.
Yon: Boogie nights. Opening credits. We see his cock. The end.
Scod: Star Wars Episode IV, A New Hope, original 1977 cinema release. Perfect, don’t change it.
Get to the fucking monkey
Get to the fucking monkey
Get to the fu
Get to the fu
Get to the fu
King Kong King Kong King Kong King Kong

Tall Man
03:36
|
|||
He’s just a tall man
With small aspirations
All he wants to do
Is see the band
Don’t give him grief
It’s my firm belief
He can stand
Where he wants to stand
He got here
When the doors opened
Found a good spot
Way before you
He doesn’t hate ya,
He’s just a freak of nature
He’s God’s joke
What else can he do
The cruel tentacles
Of the genetic heritage
Have wrapped themselves
Around his life
We shouldn’t despise him
We should just study him
Perhaps there’s a gene we can remove
So future generations
Can see the band
So don’t disrespect the beanpoles
The beanpoles are just like you and me
They mean no harm to others
They’re just music lovers
God made them badly
God made them badly

Too many Remotes
04:24
|
|||
All I wanna do
Is watch TV with you
But I’ve got too many remotes
In my life
Trying to watch a DVD
Which remote’s for the TV?
Do I have to press AV?
Or is the input DVD slash LD TV slash slash something
Oh, fuck!
What order do I have to turn things on
Why am I hearing channel 9
But seeing 31
They can put a man on the moon
But they can’t help me
It’s like I need Houston mission control
Just to watch The Simpsons on TV
When I have a house sitter come to stay
I have to set aside a whole day
To type a four page document
Briefing them on what to do
I’m so tired of all these buttons
Look at how complicated life has gotten
Too many remotes
Too many remotes
De-de-de-doo
Too many remotes
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Too many remotes
In my…
…Life

Lingering Dad
02:20
|

Lingering dad
Half in the doorway
Lingering dad
Awkward and indecisive
Lingering dad
You're just standing there
And I'm doing my homework
You're freaking me out
Lingering dad
D'you have something to say
Either come in or go away
Lingering dad
Just do something
Clean up the garage I don't care
Lingering dad
You always just hover
I think it's mum's fault
She's so decisive
Lingering dad
You're an example of everything sad about men's role in society
Lingering dad
You don't know what your role is
Lingering dad
PISS OFF
Lingering dad you're freaking me out you're freaking me out
Lingering dad you're freaking me out you're freaking me out lingering dad.
Look I know you mean well lingering dad
You're just trying to be a good dad
But you don't know where to start
And I wish I could help you
But I'm just like you
You know we don't have a blueprint
We're completely at sea
Oh! Let's just go and watch M*A*S*H

Theme from MASH Guy
03:45
|
|||
I am the Theme from M*A*S*H Guy
My kids are the theme from M*A*S*H Guy’s kids
My sister is the sister of the guy who wrote
The theme from M*A*S*H
It’s all I ever did
It might be all I ever do
I sit in a room in a house
Built from the proceeds of the theme from M*A*S*H
It’s my legacy
I will always be
To everybody and to me
The guy who wrote the theme
From M*A*S*H
Whenever anybody does a version
Of the theme from M*A*S*H
They are legally required
To send me a copy
Of their version of the theme
From M*A*S*H
I spend all day listening
To recordings of versions of the theme from M*A*S*H
I’m building more shelving
So I can store the tapes of the recordings
Of the versions of the theme from
M*A*S*H
It’s my legacy
I will always be
To everybody and to me
The guy who wrote the theme
From M*A*S*H
And on every spine
Of every tape
On every shelf I see
The actual name
Of the theme from M*A*S*H
Is staring back at me
It’s Suicide is Painless
Maybe in retrospect
I should have called the song
The theme from M*A*S*H

No Daughter of Mine
01:39
|
|||
No daughter of mine
No daughter of mine
No daughter of mine
Is going to be an insatiable sexual dynamo!
No daughter of mine
Is gonna be a machine
No daughter of mine
Is going to make all the boys wildest fantasies come true
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na…
No daughter of mine
No daughter of mine
No daughter of mine
Huh!
Not while I’m alive
Not under my roof
No daughter of mine
Is going to be an electro-legged fuck-bunny from the future whose batteries never run out!
No daughter of mine
Is gonna blow your
Mind

Forgive me Father
03:08
|
|||
Forgive me father for I have sinned
Forgive me father for I have sinned
I think I might actually quite like
Shannon Noll’s new song
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’ve been having impure thoughts
I’ve been having impure thoughts
My mind is going around and round
With Shannon Noll’s new song
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What will they think of me in Fitzroy
No no no
No no no
My son I’ve listened to many sins
My son I’ve listened to many sins
But never have I come face to face with
Pure evil
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Your penance shall be
Lou Reed’s
Transformer
Ten listens
And also David Bowie
Late 70’s,
Berlin years
My laptop is back in the rectory
I’ve got some bootlegs from Glastonbury
I will burn you a new CD
A new CD

Suicide Bomber
03:06
|
|||
They used dogs on me
They used blindfolds
They embarrassed me in the nude
They gave shocks to me with electrodes
They deprived me of my food
They paraded me round the prison
Chained up to other men
And with every task
One question they asked
Over and over and over again
They said
Aren't you the suicide bomber
Who blew up the bus last year
I say No they say Yes
I say You're not thinking it through
But they went off and thought up some new things to do
So they soaked me with cold water
And they left me there overnight
They put outlandish costumes upon me
And took photographs of my plight
They accused me of brutal behaviour
Whilst they kicked me in the balls
And with every task
One question they asked
Echoing off of the cold prison walls
They said
Aren't you the suicide bomber
Who blew up the bus last year
I said No they punched me
I said Think logically,
And they said You think logically
And I said What
Psychological torture
Has cleared things right up for me
There's one thing I know
When they let me go
I will be the man that they want me to be
Yes I'll be the suicide bomber
I'll blow up a bus one day
And so will my son
And his son after that
And then some poor new guy
Will sit where I sat
And he will be forced to wear poo for a hat
And so on and so fucking forth,
Amen

Baby
Gonna make you happy tonight
Oh sugar
Give my love to you
Oh baby
Gonna make you feel so right
Oh sugar
Spend some time with you
Do the things you want me to
Gonna make love
Gonna make some sweet sweet love sugar
So get ready
Oh get ready get ready
Ready for loving tonight
Baby
Before we get down to love
Before we get down
I just gotta finish this level
I gotta high score tonight
I just gotta save my game
I'll be with you in a minute sweet baby
I love how you dance for me
But could you move a little to the left baby
I can't see the TV
Baby I can't wait till we start
Ooh
It's just that the save points are so far apart
In this game baby
But I do love you
Baby this bit's got multiplayer
Maybe you can operate a turret with me baby would you like that?
It's good cause
Games five you hand eye coordination
And spatial intelligence together with map reading skills
Oh sugar
Turn the lights down low
Lower lower
Turn the lights down low
Just a little bit lower
Turn the lights down low
It's just that it helps me feel like I'm in a spaceship
Then we can make some
Sweet sweet love honey
Sugar
Baby
Oo
You look so great to me baby
Have you brushed your teeth yet
Take your time
No hurry
It's just that I'm not tired
Are you tired
I'll see you in the bed then
You might want to take a book
Ooh you so fine baby
I can't stop thinking about you...and all the coins I have to collect
I just gotta find one secret area
Get one more ability point
And I'll make sweet love to you baby
I think this xbox
Is the best present I ever bought for you
Baby
