Live and Very Attractive

0

[Spoken: Chris Burney, Jaret Reddick]
But we're good!
She'll be alright...
Ladies and gentlemen, we leave you tonight with the greatest song ever
This song is called 1985, we'll see you guys next time
[Verse 1]
Here we go!
Debbie just hit the wall, she never had it all
One Prozac a day, husband's a CPA
Her dreams went out the door when she turned twenty-four
Only been with one man, what happened to her plan?
[Pre-Chorus]
Shе was gonna be an actress, she was gonna bе a star
She was gonna shake her ass on the hood of Whitesnake's car
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy
Looks at her average life, and nothing has been alright
[Chorus]
Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school, they tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19, 19, 1985
(1985)
[Verse 2]
She's seen all the classics, she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, even Saint Elmo's Fire
She rocked out to Wham!, not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she'd get a hand on a member of Duran Duran
[Pre-Chorus]
Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin?
Who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen?
When did reality become TV?
Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows?
[Chorus]
On the radio was Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school, tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19, 19, 1985
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
She hates time, make it stop
When did Mötley Crüe become classic rock? (Classic rock)
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop, stop, STOP!
[Spoken: Jaret Reddick]
Okay, who knows the words to this song?
Let's sing it together, everybody act like you really really like it for the DVD, are you ready?
[Chorus: Jaret Reddick, Concert Crowd]
And bring back Springsteen
Madonna, way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school, they tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19, 19, 1985
[Spoken: Jaret Reddick, Erik Chandler, Chris Burney]
Oh shit, it's in my hand
What did you get?
These are- these seem to be-
Woah, hey! Edible panties!
They're edible knickers!
I thought I might put em there, and later on
Somebody gonna try em on?
No, I think we should eat em!
What, those are from you? The shirtless guy with the fake guitar that messed up earlier has a friend who wears edible underpants
That's a good friend!
You wanna- should we try em on? Hey Erik, try these on, good for the DVD
This is, okay, thanks
I'm gonna have a drink!
This guy's good! He's- you've had some of these on before! Here do you want some help or?
It already looks nice on you, I like it
It's good, oh that's gonna be good
What? No you're not too fat for the edible-
Hold on, hahahahahaha!
Wait, don't put it on to the side! You're gonna put it under!
Turn around and show everybody!
Those look delicious!
This is the best
Those look tasty!
No, leave em on for the rest of the song, and then after this, we're gonna split those with the Bloodhound Gang after their show
They're gonna think those are delicious, they like vomit for christ sake!
Alright, you eat it now
[Chorus]
And bring back Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school, they tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied, 1985
Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana (1985)
There was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV (1985)
Her two kids in high school tell her that she's uncool (1985)
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19, 19, 1985
[Outro: Jaret Reddick, Chris Burney]
Thank you guys so very much!
We love you guys more than you'll ever know
Someone just farted on this stage, I think it was you
It wasn't me that farted, it was you!
[Spoken: Concert Crowd]

[Improv: Chris Burney, Erik Chandler, Jaret Reddick, Gary Wiseman]
Hello! I'm Erik Chandler, I play bass in Bowling For Soup, and I'm a total wanker!
My name is Jaret Reddick, and I am the uh, crap singer for Bowling For Soup and I love the ladies!
My name is Chris Burney of Bowling For Soup, join my diet program and you will grow hair!
You guys just all said yourselves, so I'm Gary Wiseman, I'm glad you're all here tonight! Thank you very much!
[Spoken: Jaret Reddick, Chris Burney]
That was the coolest instrument switch ever! We never even rehearsed that, just made that shit up just now
How many people wanna come over and visit?
We'll take you to an amusement park, we can all get on the roller coaster and vomit on each other
I'll take the shoot guns fishing and you can all play with my dog Sherman! He's a good boy
Chris, you just snuck him into the DVD! Good job!
