about

Today I got a seven year old guitar off craigslist. It's a copy of one of the old Sears Catalogue guitars, which in this case was a copy of a Fender Strat. For all the generations of change, it sounds just like the real thing, and even punkier, in my opinion. Thanks so much to the young lady who decided her dusty guitar needed a new home. It's the louder of the two, and I think it gives this track a gritty personality that it really needs. There's just something about single coils pickups...

lyrics

You're really hot!

Hot like hot. Hot like attractive.
The wick burning down to a firecracker. Alright!

You're really hot!

Hot-spiced flame-grilled jalapeno.
Bathwater so hot my feet feel cold. Yeah!

I want to feel everything you feel. I want some proof that you are real. I want to be the man in your dreams, but I'm afraid they'd burn me. Oh!

You're really hot!

Blowtorch. H-bomb. Solar plasma.
Sunshine. Summer. Desert asthma.

I think sometimes our society gets fixated on looks, and we forget about so many more important things.

At the time I wrote it, I thought the bassline sounded like the kind of repetition with slight variation that Mark Sandman would have written, but years later I was listening to John Henry, and realized it's also a lot like the bassline for They Might Be Giants', "Spy." Thank you, John, John, and Hugo! You inspired me! Listeners, if you like this song, check theirs out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su1GPbkFEiw

Do I feel bad for nearly copying something from memory that I hadn't heard in ten years? Not really. But even if I did, yesterday I gave $5 more to TMBG's road crew COVID relief fund than I've made off this album. Also, given the amount of material they reference in their work, I'm confident they'd pay this forward. But I'll ask nicely, just in case.
