Description: recorded live, i started laughing and flubbed but kept going. when listening to playback, i laughed so hard, i nearly fell out of my chair. the engineer said he'd left it in because it fit the song, and i agree completely. it's my favorite part. given the song was written about an absolutely horrid woman, it's nice to have a part that makes me laugh like that.

about

recorded live, i started laughing and flubbed but kept going. when listening to playback, i laughed so hard, i nearly fell out of my chair. the engineer said he'd left it in because it fit the song, and i agree completely. it's my favorite part. given the song was written about an absolutely horrid woman, it's nice to have a part that makes me laugh like that.

lyrics

i was diagnosed with a high i.q.
doc thinks i'd be happier
if i were stupider
you know, stupid like you
but i've been watching
and i wonder if it's true
you don't seem very happy
doing the stupid things you do

stupid, violent, psychotic poo-flinging monkey
stupid, violent, psychotic poo-flinging monkey

there's another aspect to the diagnosis
you suffer from a deeply rooted, dangerous
and dark psychosis
even from a distance
it's impossible not to notice
yet somehow you're the only person
in the whole wide world
who doesn't know this

stupid, violent, psychotic poo-flinging monkey
stupid, violent, psychotic poo-flinging monkey

how do you strut
with that big gut?
everything you say smells like butt
every day you dig a deeper rut
oh well, tut tut

you'd be laughable, pitiable
if you were not so mean
suggesting that you have a conscience
is ridiculous and a bit obscene
contrivance is your only talent
you melodrama queen
crashing all around dressed in greed and envy green

stupid, violent, psychotic poo-flinging monkey
stupid, violent, psychotic poo-flinging monkey

how do you strut
with that big gut?
everything you say smells like butt
every day you dig a deeper rut
oh well, tut tut

i believe i've wasted all i'm going to waste on you
besides i doubt a single word of this has gotten thru
so you go on and do all those stupid things you do
while i apologize to every monkey in the zoo

stupid, violent, psychotic poo-flinging human
stupid, violent, psychotic poo-flinging human
you

i wrote it all, that's me singing and playing.
john casey engineered it live, managing to get a great stereo sound for the piano from a mono output.
lena got it all going and rick got it on here for me.
