Listen/purchase: Dramamine by Jackass Penguins

I’ve posted this song before. It was based on my experiences at senior prom. This time I’ll include the lyrics:

Never ever say it’s over
Count the hours as they pass
and you are my four-leaf clover
watch you walking in the grass

Eat the food and learn the rules
In the limo, in the pool
In the restaurant on the floor
In the backyard, open doors

3 o’clock and watching movies
making biscuits, open cans
listen to the water moving
taking pictures for the flash
I thank the Lord that you are with me
even if you fall asleep
but you stay and watch the movie
and play piano just for me

Dramamine

Listen/purchase: Break It Down by Jackass Penguins

I will just say this is catchy as hell. The longer you listen to it, the more it will stay in your head.

Listen/purchase: Time by Jackass Penguins

Lyrics:

Move on
if you need someone to lean on
I won’t be around x2
Live on
in your perennial paradise
I’m sure that it will be very nice
Don’t make me have to go and say it twice

I can’t go do everything
I can’t live an old routine

Ramble on
You know I’ve got to find the perfect song
I know it shouldn’t couldn’t take me long
You can’t prove me sue me screw me Snoopy long
Live on
‘cause time’s the only thing that will run me out
The only thing, the thing that this song’s about
I only wish that it didn’t have to shout
oh yeah

I can’t go do everything
I can’t live an old routine

Listen/purchase: Mr. Goo by Jackass Penguins

This song is an ode to the little group I hung out with around lunchtime in high school. Although it’s largely an instrumental, it kind of sums up what it was like. Mr. Goo was a phallic monument we made out of a banana peel and two apple cores on a wall. It was created sometime in October 1996 and it wasn’t cleaned up by the custodian until about May 1997, so it was all dried out by then. Towards the end I was eating a Mr. Goodbar and I cut the wrapper and taped Mr. Goo over it. The whole bowl of rice/pan of rice thing is another story.

Listen/purchase: Go Away by Jackass Penguins

This song was written on the spot for the Fashion Victims album. Based on a single riff, it just shows how sometimes less is more.

Listen/purchase: Hale-Bopp by Jackass Penguins

I actually wrote out sheet music for this song that was published in a bound book of creative works from my high school. I’m not sure if I can remember how to do that, except with tablature.
