For All The Pretty People Lyrics

"God damn I wanna rock!"

"Are you ready to rock, man"

"Yeah!"

(Chuckling followed by loud drum banging)
"Hey, quit fucking around I wanna rock, okay?"

(Laughing in background)

"One, two, one two three!"

(Short attempt to begin song)

"Man, I am serious."

(More background laughter)

"I am not fucking around, now I'm three inches taller than this little fucking mic, and it sucks!"

(laughter...)

"I wanna rock! I'm not bullshitting you mother fuckers, lets go! One, two, one two three four!"

(another failed song attempt)

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Two, three, four!"

(loud blaring sound)

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"One, two, three four!"

(they get it right and a great instrumental ensues)

I got this song off of a file sharing program, and since the conversation at the beginning is pretty entertaining, I thought I'd submit it. I'm not sure who's guy talking is, but if I had to guess, I'd say Robert Sledge, since as the bassist, he'd be the only who'd have the problem of being taller than the mic. (The other two would be sitting down.)

Anyone else think of Sonic the Hedgehog when they listen to this song? That's what instantly popped into my head: Saturday mornings, as a kid, playing Sonic. Heh. Great song, though.

Actually Ben was playing bass on this one with robert on piano. Ben was the one apparently too tall for the mic. But it's actually Ben and Robert talking back and forth, as far as I cna tell. Mostly Ben.
