Turn, turn the radio low
I've got to talk to you
Turn, turn the radio low
Ooh
Got a half-Armenian girlfriend
She tests me like a Scantron
She'll only tell me what's wrong
When she's hit the bong b-bong bong
Feeling melodramatic and spastic
She ain't made of westcoast plastic
And I lie awake with an achin'
Is it all in my head like she said?
Turn, turn the radio low
I've got to talk to you
Turn turn the radio low
Ooh
Look, I'm in love with the sounds
That you make and the ground
that you walk on, I'm running after you
I'm in love with the way
That you're making me wait
I just want to be catching up to you
Got a half Armenian girlfriend
She's hotter than I am handsome
She'll fuck you up and then some
She'll rock the boat 'til Bedlam
Feeling melodramatic and spastic
She ain't made of West Side plastic
And I lie awake with an achin'
Is it all in my head like she said (said)
Yeah (x9)
I'm in love with the sounds
That you make and the ground
That you walk on, I'm running after you
I'm in love with the way
That you're makin' me wait
I just want to be catching up to you (x4)
Turn, turn the radio low
I've got to talk to you
Turn, turn the radio low
I've got to get through to you
I've got to talk to you
Turn, turn the radio low
Ooh
She tests me like a Scantron
She'll only tell me what's wrong
When she's hit the bong b-bong bong
She ain't made of westcoast plastic
And I lie awake with an achin'
Is it all in my head like she said?
I've got to talk to you
Turn turn the radio low
Ooh
That you make and the ground

"She tests me like a scantron" has to be the worst lyric, like, ever.
Other than that, pretty groovy song.

Sounds like this song's just about how this guy is having difficulty (sexually) keeping up with his girlfriend, coz she's this really hot, confident Armenian chick.
And there's nothing wrong with the lyrics 'She tests me like a scantron'!
What is a scantron, anyway?
A scantron is a form of test, it's a thin rectangular sheet, usually with green markings with questions 1-50 and 50-100 on each side, just the number and letters A-E in rectangles. The sheets are scanned through a machine with the answers (A-E) put in, and it grades the paper, much more time-saving than hand-grading. The lyric is probably in reference to how difficult it is his for Max, since you can't really bullshit past a machine. It's right or wrong, no middle-ground.
The song's not funny, but I laughed the first time I heard it because of the scantron lyric.
i love the line 'She'll only tell me what's wrong When she's hit the bong b-bong bong'
I think it goes... "I'm in love with the sounds that you make when you groan, when you walk off I'm running after you. "
