Show-Biz Kids!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

Chorus:
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

After closing time
At the Guernsey fair
I detect the El Supremo
From the room at the top of the stairs
Well I've been around the world
And I've been in the Washington Zoo
And in all my travels
As the facts unravel
I've found this to be true

Chorus

They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside
They got the booze they need
All that money can buy
They got the shapely bods
They got the Steely Dan t-shirt
And for the coup-de-gras
They're outrageous

Chorus

Show biz kids making movies
Of themselves you know they
Don't give a fuck about anybody else

Chorus

What an awesome, romping song. "You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else." Great! I absolutely love the background singers, singing "Go to Las Vegas" but pronouncing it "Lost Wages" so that they are not only ironic but also sound like total dipshits. :rofl:

:thumbsup:

3. They mention themselves in their own music?

Who do they think they are, Insane Clown Posse?

4. LOL.

:rofl:

I don't know who or what they consider themselves, but it's damned funny.

:D

5. They are a smooth sound, that's for sure.

I'm obviously not as big a fan as you, but I like 'em.

Do you like other music from their era?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

6. Oh hell, yes.

I love all that stuff from the '70s.

7. I'm a big fan of Jim Croce, Jimmy Buffet, Gordon Lightfoot

It counters my Tool/Soundgarden/RATM ways quite nicely.
