Lyrics
I can't believe you've never heard of Henry Cow
Please tell me that's a joke
And you weren't aware of the Strapping Fieldhands until now?
I think my brain just broke
You know I just can't stop naming bands at you
It's a crime you don't know Amon Düül II
No matter what you say or do
I just can't stop naming bands at you
If you like Roxy Music you have got to hear Japan
Get on that right away
If you're into Planxty you should check out Steeleye Span
Don't wait another day
No I just can't stop naming bands at you
As much as you might like me to
Why aren't you listening to The Ocean Blue?
I just can't stop naming bands at you
And please just let me stress
I do this out of kindness
There's no need to pay me back
Years will pass and I'll still be here hyping YMO
As my faculties recede
I'll be on my deathbed recommending Nomeansno
My epitaph will read:
"He couldn't stop naming bands at you
Not even if he had wanted to
There was so much more he was going to do
But you weren't familiar with Pere Ubu"
