Lyrics

Written last night and recorded this morning. Nothing new here but I did just finish listening to today's podcast and several of these themes repeated themselves. Is anyone surprised?

Lyrics:
I'm not aware of too many things,
I don't know my phone or the Google machine.
Don't talk to me 'bout The Hulu or my Instagram feed,
I don't know how to plug in my TV!

I'm not afraid of too many things
I don't own a plane if you know what I mean. D-do Ya?
Don't ask me to take a ride on your fancy new yacht!
And bridges?! I pray there's no fog.
Screaming, won't look at the water
Cruisin' in the middle lane.

I don't ask for too many things.
Send me your Triscuits and a box of Midgees. For free, yeah. For free, yeah.
Put me on the Americans!
And don't forget the Hall of Fame!

Who I am, hey, who I am.
Don't you know who I am?
Who I am, hey, who I am.
Don't you know who I am? No? What?
That's it, I'm boiling eggs, I'm boiling eggs. I guess I'll boil some eggs.

    Such a great performance, KJ! And your get every theme in there. Is a tour d'horizon. And wasn't somebody just talking about Edie Brickell on the show? Did Howard say she's related to Al Gore? ;-)

    Dang. And here I bought a yacht just hoping I might entice him with a ride. Oh well. I love the tune and performance!

    I always liked this song, and thought it was an interesting outlier when it came out. You absolutely knocked it out of the park, btw. Most excellent.
