The Big Sleazy

(album: Metaphysical Graffiti - 1990)

Well, it's a long way to Anchorage
But that's where I'll go with you
And we'll travel so far, dear
To escape that morning zoo

Cause I hate MMR and I hate YSP
I do not like the Grateful Dead
So, just don't talk to me
I said I hate MMR and I hate YSP
And you know that classic rock
Does not interest me

People are getting angry
Maybe just they should
Cause some of us can still remember
Back when XPN was good

And I hate what they've done, to XPN
Bunch a' folk nazis ruined my favourite station
Said I hate what they've done, to XPN
If you hear it now, it's just a pale imitation

Well, it's brunch with The Beatles
And a tribute to Billy Joel
Four hours of Doobie Brothers
And they call that radio

It's a long way to Anchorage
But that's where I'll go with you
And we'll travel so far, dear
To escape that morning zoo

Cause I hate MMR, I can't stand YSP
I do not like the Grateful Dead
You'd better stay away from me
I said I loathe MMR, and I despise YSP
Well, friends there ain't no radio
Here in our city

-OK, we've got a call on the request line and who am I speaking to?
-My name's Will Junior
-And what do you do Will Junior?
-Well, I unclog the toilets at the head shop [?]
-And what can I play for ya?
-Well, how about a block a' the Blahs dude?
-Sorry, just played a block of the Blahs for the guys at the sandal
Store
-Aw, man, well, how about a block a' Fleetwood Mac?
-Oh, just played a block of Fleetwood Mac for the guys at the granola
Factory
-Oh man...
-But I'll tell ya what, How 'bout if I send you a $20,000 gift
Certificate from Bob and Jerry's world of wicker?
-Hey that's wicker! Dude, thanks a lot!
