Name: Butter
Duration: P00H01M50S
Description: I wrote the music in February 2008 for The Orange, but I never liked the vocals I put on it. Later in the year, I sent the instrumental version to my friend Thom (singer of The Whiskers) to see if he could help turn it into the weirdo pop hit it was supposed to be. Success!

lyrics

i'm and yook and you're a zook.
together we would make each other vomit butter all over the carpet.

triple-sling jigger at a jigger-rock snatchem'll throw 'em back just as fast as we catch'em! (hey!)

everybody's dancing to the space race.
their plans are falling into place. (place!)
we've got a test we gotta ace. (ace!)
cream pies are flying at my face. (face!)
it's butter side up?
no it's butter side down.
that side of the wall just ain't on ball and the whole town's spreading the same thing around:
that it's butter side up.
but it's butter side down.
