This is actually a Halo Benders song. Halo Benders were a project with Doug from BTS and Calvin from Beat Happenning and half a dozen other cool bands. He's the founder of K Records, too.
This was the first HB song I ever heard. I was working the summer in Denali National Park in Alaska and I went to the employee cafeteria for lunch, while I was in line i heard this song playing and asked the remarkably cute girl behind the counter who it was. She said Halo Benders and I said it sounded like Doug Martsch from BTS. She said Halo Benders were from Idaho like her and was I from Idaho, I said no but BTS was from Idaho as well. So we introduced each other to new music and made eyes at each other the rest of the season. I never saw her after that summer.
Strangely all the lyrics Calvin sang are excluded in your lyrics here. I guess (probably wrongly) that this is from some live version of BTS doing it without Calvin so there aren't any lyrics from his side?
I always found the charm in Halo Benders to be Doug's yearning, high, plaintive, slow, emotional, almost whining lyrics that were this great canvas for Calvin's deep, more rapid sort of flippant nonsense lyrics.
In the original version Calvin keeps going off about predestination and laizzes-faire with lyrics like "Dance around on the kitchen table, Rub your tummy and show your navel". Brilliant. The self titled HB album isn't as stunning but The Rebel's Not In is great and God Don't Make No Junk is AMAZING. If you like BTS I DEFY you to dislike that album.
Alright let's get this straight geoffingeorgia. Calvin Johnson, of Beat Happening, sucks. It is a travesty that he would ever share the same stage with Doug Martsch. Watch how he dances while Doug leads the show: youtube.com/watch Yeah, this guy is truly laughable. He can't sing, he simply talks in the background, and dances like he's half retarded. And the Built to Spill version of the song is much better. There is nothing brilliant about the lyric "rub your tummy and show your navel." I could make any song...

I could make any song Calvin has made in half an hour in garageband and have the same result.

This was from the "Live" album as far as BTS is concerned. I'll have to check out the Halo Benders version.
