Shnate McDuanus Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 We know that they're out there. Songs that are really cool, with subject matter that's a little plain at first, but with proper execution, comes to mean something else entirely for one reason or another.

freak show Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 What about "Where is Bill?" from Camper van Beethoven? Ostensibly this song deals with the drummer (Bill) not showing up for band practice. However, transformed by the poetical alchemy of the Bard, this seemingly trivial incident allows the lyricist to pose questions about man's search for truth and meaning in an absurd universe. But don't take my word for it: "Where, where the Hell is Bill? Where, where the Hell is Bill? Where, where the Hell is Bill? Where, where the Hell is Bill? Well, maybe he went to get a sideways haircut Maybe he went to get a striped shirt Maybe he went to get some plastic shoes Maybe he went to get some funny sunglasses Well, maybe he went to get an Air Force parka Maybe he went to get a Vespa scooter Maybe he went to get a British flag Maybe he went to go Mod Ska dancing Well, maybe he went to get a mohawk And maybe he went to get some gnarly thrash boots Maybe he went to go ride his skateboard Maybe he went to see the Circle Jerks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 How about "25 or 6 to 4". It's about nothing more than sitting up all night trying to write a song. It has one of the all time classic solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
