Stuart Lyrics
You know what, Stuart,
I LIKE YOU.
You're not like the other people,
here, in the trailer park.
Oh, don't go get me wrong.
They're fine people,
they're Good Americans.
But they're content to sit back,
maybe watch a little Mork and Mindy on channel 57,
maybe kick back a cool, Coors 16-ouncer.
They're good, fine people, Stuart.
But they don't know
what the queers
are doing
to the soil!
You know that Jonny Wurster kid,
the kid that delivers papers in the neighborhood.
He's a foreign kid.
Some of the neighbors say he smokes crack,
but I don't believe it.
Anyway, for his tenth birthday,
all he wanted was a Burrow Owl.
Kept bugging his old man.
"Dad, get me a burrow owl.
I'll never ask for anything else as long as I live."
So the guy breaks down
and buys him a burrow owl.
Anyway, 10:30 the other night,
I go out in my yard,
and there's the Wurster kid,
looking up in the tree.
I say, "What are you looking for?"
He says "I'm looking for my burrow owl."
I say, "Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick.
Everybody knows
The burrow owl
lives.
In a hole.
In the ground.
Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?"
Now Stuart, do you think a kid like that
is going to know
what the queers are doing to the soil?
I first became aware of this about ten years ago,
the summer my oldest boy, Bill Jr. died.
You know that carnival comes into town every year?
Well this year they came through
with a ride called The Mixer.
The man said,
"Keep your head, and arms,
inside the Mixer at all times."
But Bill Jr, he was a DAAAREDEVIL,
just like his old man.
He was leaning out saying
"Hey everybody, Look at me! Look at me!"
Pow! He was decapitated!
They found his head
over by the snow cone concession.
A few days after that, I open up the mail.
And there's a pamphlet in there.
From Pueblo, Colorado,
and it's addressed to Bill, Jr.
And it's entitled,
"Do you know
what the queers
are doing to our soil?"
Now, Stuart, if you look at the soil
around any large US city,
There's a big underground homosexual population.
Des Moines, Iowa, for an example.
Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart.
You can't build on it; you can't grow anything in it.
The government says it's due to poor farming.
But I know what's really going on, Stuart.
I know it's the queers.
They're in it with the aliens.
They're building landing strips
for gay Martians,
I swear to God.
You know what, Stuart, I like you.
You're not like the other people,
here in this trailer park.
I LIKE YOU.
You're not like the other people,
here, in the trailer park.
They're fine people,
they're Good Americans.
But they're content to sit back,
maybe watch a little Mork and Mindy on channel 57,

This is the greatest satirical song that I have ever heard. This was South Park waaaaaaay before South Park had a voice. I love to play this song to my republican friends/co-workers, and see if they get the joke, or if they just say it sucks. This song does not suck, it is deeper and also more accessible than most of the garbage that you hear on the radio today. Long live the Dead Milkmen, too bad that most of this generation will never know the subtle genius that they were!
Johnny Wurster was the drummer for Superchunk and a friend of the band. Unless he actually did spend his childhood smoking crack and owned a burrow owl, his name was probably just thrown in as a weird kind of \"shout out\".
This song is offensive to gay martians everywhere
HA HA HA! At university (1988-89) this was my drunken theme song. Most of my female mates called me Stuart (not my name obviously). A wonderful 'song' to 'sing' as you wandered home from the pub. It's actually more of a tone poem.
Jumpin Jesus on a pogo stick!" Ya gotta love this song! Not exactoy a song, but it's great anyway. Queers and aliens and queer aliens lol i used to listen to DM when i went out walking because i'd be so intent on the lyrics i woukdnt pay attention to how far i was walking lol. i want a burow owl!
a man has become paranoid and in need for attention after his son dies. his neighbors don't listen to him anymore, but he has found hope in someone else: Stuart
more like a big fat loser. i got about 2 sentences in and figured i'd rather get decapitated by the mixer than waste my time reading such unfunny droll. the dead milkmen never want to meet you bugmenot.
I heard Rodney say in an interview that during the time before the song was recorded every other person they met had the name "Stuart"
The song started out as several silly inside jokes before it became a song.
hahaha!
Quite possibly the greatest song ever written.
