Thinking about Gabbard in general, my animal instinct is to flatten my ears against my head, roll my eyes up till the whites show, bare my teeth, and trill like a cicada stuck in a Commodore 64.

This is what happens when you let drummers write lyrics.

So... I wrote this song for my band (download/listen for full effect). I'm at a loss for lyrics, though (I suck at that part). I decided to take suggestions. My drummer said he'd come up with something, so I'm like "Yeah, sure dude whatever. Make it a love song or something like that."

Background on my drummer: he's a Vietnam veteran; he's had his shoulder replaced, and he spent the last 18 months battling some kind of hepatitis. He's also a biker, and he has no qualms about discussing his bowel functions.

Anyway, today he presents me with the lyrics. And, I quote:

Quote
Woman with a 4' clit



There's a mist hanging over the ocean
There's a mist hanging under a tree
There's a gal that I know in the valley
With a clit hanging down to her knee



Chorus- Pour me an ocean of whiskey
              I'll swim there lord till I drowned
              Just show me a chick with a 4 ft clit
              And I'll follow her trail on the ground


She broke the high jumpin record
I've never seen one jump any higher
It happened when we was out camping
And she stood too close to the fire

Chorus


Well she's dead but not forgotten
The pain it cuts like a sword
It happened when we went sky diving
And she reached up and pulled the wrong cord

Chorus twice
Evil and Unfeeling Arse-Flenser From The City of the Damned.

I smell a one hit wonder here.

- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Your friend is bi-curiously living through the subject of the song. He has always regretted being circumcised as a child. Rename the song "Foreskin Blues" and you have an instant hit. Fucking hippies.

"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."

Step 1 - Leave song as it is.
Step 2 - Defuse inevitable criticism with either:

a) It's satire.
b) It's actually a symbolic ode to the 'divine feminine'.
c) It's a reaction to phallo-centric rock music (cf: Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love")
d) Strange mixture of a, b & c.
