Party Of The First Part Lyrics
Who are you?
My card, pretty lady.
Devil May-Care Music Production, Beelzebub Scratch, President.
I like your style! Too bad you're not a singer.
Oh, but I am, I am a singer!
Hmm, no fooling.
No, no listen...
(sound of opera singing)
Fantastic! Different!
I want to be a star, oh please!
You've talked me into it. Contract!
(snaps)
Just our standard contract, nothing fancy.
Fame! Fortune! Fans! Gold records! Concerts! World tours! Your name in lights!
Take your time, read it all.
Oh, I give up. Can I trust you?
Ok, I'll sign.
Write!
Where's the ink?
We always use blood, it's more permanent.
Oh, I don't know, can't we wait for Dad?
Oh, sure, I'll be back next year. Come on, Wheeze!
Next year?! Oh wait, wait, stop. I'll sign.
What about a band...? I know a drummer.
She can't be bothered kid, she's got an interview.
The interview circus is so absurd, and so silly.
How do you feel about your sudden success?
Well, I feel like being a big star is really great, you know.
It's like, fabulous. Lonely, too, sometimes.
Oh, that's nice.
This is the biggest thing ever to hit rock!
You're at the top now, sweetie.
Yeah, but where do I go from here?
Don't worry, I want you, we have a bargain.
No, I didn't mean that, wait!
I've been waiting, now it's my turn.
No.
According to our contract, at precisely midnight, at the moment of her greatest triumph, the party of the first part, that's you, agrees to render up her soul now and forever more
to the party of the second part, that's me.
Shall we go?

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
really cool weird song about selling your soul to the devil
the vocals are lifted off an old cartoon about a mouse (not hundred percent sure though) who wants to be a star and meets the devil who promises to make this happen in return for her soul.
obviously they are comparing this to their own rise to fame
Someone was pissed at their record label...
I love how it sounds like they are all watching the cartoon, especially when who I presume is Peter says that the interview part is so silly. It makes you feel like you're watching it with them. And yeah, it's from an old cartoon called The Devil and Daniel Mouse.
yep, The Devil and Daniel Mouse, and the lyric is Can't we wait for Dan (referring to Daniel), not Dad. In the cartoon Dan and Jan are folk singers. It is also B.L. Zebubb and Weez, as I recall, but that is more obvious in the credits. I haven't watched it in a while, but it is included in the Rock and Rule DVD and Blu Ray (I think).
