Shopping Spree Lyrics
Flagstaff, Arizona. Two weeks on the road with sean na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na. One day before we did play, we penned a song by us, for us (b.u.f.u?) we didn’t write the verse, but we wrote the chorus: I can’t take it no more so I’m going on a shopping spree. I cant save no money, cause I spent it on a shopping spree. After the show, there’s nowhere to go. Everywhere’s packed with white baseball hat-ed frat boys. So we wend up at this empty place, got a flaming doc. The dali llamas were the band scheduled to rock. Benny na na looks at me. I think I hear what he’s saying. “Atom do you hear what they’re playing?! They’re going shopping. So Dali Llams…whatever. Spelled Salvador Dali, and the animal…how clever. You have a five string fretless bass. You stole our song, NOW WE ROCK YOUR FACE!

this song is about a band that atom and his friends went on tour with shanana. they were playing a show with another band called the dali llamas. and the dali llamas, were terrible, but they had one song that was really catchy. it went"i cant take it no more, cuz im going on a shopping spree." so atom and his friends went and danced for it, and then they started cheering "shopping spree! shopping spree!" untill they played the song again. so they played the song again, and again, atom and his friends cheered so they would play it one more time. they ended up playing the song 5 times. then atom decided he would do the song shopping spree, but he would make it about how the dali llamas stole his song. so thats how this song came about, if you see him live, he will tell the story, or you can just download the live version of this song.
yes this song rules is hilarious live! atom fucking rules and thats it.
no, see him live. it's much more enthralling than sitting at your computer listening to people having fun at a live show
I had no idea who Atom was up until recently. I was going to a Mindless Self Indulgence concert, and he happened to be one of the opening acts, and i loved his stuff so much I bought 4 cds right after his set ended. Atom is my hero, not just because he writes awesome songs, but also because he uses my catch phrase, "Rock your Face" in this song.
um, its Sean Na Na. not shanana. two different bands. read the cd insert...
"theres nowhere to go. Everywheres packed with white baseball hat-ed frat boys." how fucking true in my town
Great song and a hilarious back story. Har Mar Superstar does a version of this song too. It's on a split 7" with Atom where they both do the song.
