Butts Wigglin' Lyrics
The sweet sound of patent approval
comin' down in a not quite fog
The sweet sound of patent approval
comin' down in powdery sparks
The sweet sound of patent approval
comin' down with holiday concern
The sweet sound of patent approval comin'
down in a world of hurt
In my opinion the drug is ready
The warm hand of abject approval
comin' down with its' ropey veins
The warm hand of abject approval
comin' down to the fingerbowl
In my opinion the drug is ready
The cold eye of constant approval
comin' down to freeze the blood
The cold eye of constant approval
comin' down to look real close
In my opinion the drug is ready
comin' down in a not quite fog
The sweet sound of patent approval
comin' down in powdery sparks
The sweet sound of patent approval
comin' down with holiday concern
The sweet sound of patent approval comin'
down in a world of hurt
comin' down with its' ropey veins
The warm hand of abject approval
comin' down to the fingerbowl
comin' down to freeze the blood
The cold eye of constant approval
comin' down to look real close

Very simple. It was written for and used in the Kids in the Hall movie 'Brain Candy'. Kevin Macdonald says the line 'In my opinion the drug is ready' when questioned about the status of his latest project (under threat of termination). Much hilarity ensues.
I really like the bass intro into this upbeat, off-the-wall tune. Along with the drums, I can see why this song is titled the way it is. I think of big girl wiggling her butt to this simple, subtle sound. Very keen, very original and very underrated. "Brain Candy" was a screwed-up film but very funny, too.
Sure, it may include the line from brain candy, but certainly the metaphor of the verse applies to all pharmaceutical companies. Whether it's MacDonald saying the line, or a researcher at Merck, certainly the "sweet sound of patent approval" means the same to all those who will benefit from it, which may or most likely may NOT be the end user of the drug.
