World-O-Morons

I got the Pop-O-Pies Pop-O-Anthology because I needed to make sure I heard this song every day. Consider it the Bat Guano theme.

World-O-Morons
Joe Pop-O-Pie

Don't you know
that it's complicated.
And you're uptight, bummed out,
highly over-rated.

Don't you know
that your mind is broken.
And we think you're kinda groovy
and we think you're outspoken.

And you know
it's a cryin' shame,
why them Coca-Cola girls
ain't got no brains.

I'd like to love ya
'cause you love so deep.
I'm so excited
I could fall asleep.

Don't you know that this world is full of Morons, Morons.
I won't be happy till I find some cash to score on, to score on.

And don't ya know that your life is dull and borin', yeah it's borin'.
And if they called me I would probably just ignore 'em, ignore 'em.

And you know
that you'd like to taste it.
But you're feelin' kinda broke
and you can't afford to waste it.

You're so numb
that I can't believe it.
When it comes to ya baby,
I can take it or leave it.

I used to scream
and I used to shout.
I used to even know
what I was talkin' about.

I couldn't find
somethin' better to do,
so I
guess it's no big problem.

...OK let's go!

(bitchin' guitar solo)

You say you like it
but it's just baloney.
Man, I never met someone
so stupid and phony.

You say you'll do it
but it's soundin' shakey.
And we think you're kinda flakey.
And we think you're kinda flakey.

And you know
it's a cryin' shame,
why them Coca-Cola girls
ain't got no brains.
I'd like to love ya
but you're so darn lame.
And ain't it funny how ya
all look the same.

Don't you know that this world is full of morons, morons.
I won't be happy till I find some cash to score on, to score on.

And don't ya know that this life is dull and borin', yeah it's borin'.
And if they called me I would probably just ignore 'em, ignore 'em.

Headline says it all:

Happy Thanksgiving

"White meat. Dark meat. All will be carved"

Be warned that this is disturbing, and funny. Fake trailer from "Grindhouse." To set the mood for the holiday.

Be sure to tune into Bat Guano's SwaG! when Mr. Guano presents his famous Thanksgiving Day Eve program. This year, Bat gives you the bird!

KICK THEIR ASS!!!!

Real American hero going to kick some torturers' asses.

Mission of Burma in Kalamazoo Nov. 17

They were one of the great loud edgy bands of the '80s along with Husker Du and the Minutemen. Now they're back, and they will play the State Theatre Nov. 17. And it's all for the station that played them way back when, WIDR. This is the Barking Tuna Festival's biggest act. Be there. For more info: WIDR.

No More Hits

No more hit records. The music industry is dying.

One stark sign of the collapse is the new definition of a “hit.” In the old days—that is, seven years ago—an album would have to sell about 500,000 copies to reach No. 1. But Johnny Cash’s posthumous release last June reached the top of the Billboard charts after selling only 88,000 copies. In today’s highly fragmented market, hit records also have far less staying power than when albums such as Michael Jackson’s Thriller held the top spot for months at a time. “Almost every core operating principle in the recorded-music business has been shaken or challenged,” said Edgar Bronfman, chairman of Warner Music Group.

Sun Ra's Planet

It is a fitting ending for the second SwaG!TV! playlist. It's like TV, but smaller, more grainy, and more SwaG!.
