LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DRINKING IN L.A./BRAN VAN 3000





Hi, my name is Stereo Mike

Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert happening this Monday night at the Pacific Pallisades
You can all dial in if you want to answer a couple of questions, namely, what is Todd's favourite cheese
Jackie just called up and said it was a form of Roquefort
We'll see about that
Give us a ring-ding-ding! It's a beautiful day
Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-a-dinging, want those three Bran Van tickets man
Waddya think? Todd, you there?

I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes
When Mike came over with a script surprise
A Mafioso story with a twist
A "Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar" hitch
Get your ass out of bed, he said
I'll explain it on the way
But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day, and I say
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the flavour, the payback will be later, still I need a fix

And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us
As we rode on the ten down to Venice again
Flaring out the G-Funk,
Sipping on a juice and gin
Just me and a friend
Feeling kinda groovy
Working on a movie yeah right
But we did nothing, absolutely butkis that day, and I say
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
With my mind on my money and my money on my beer, beer
I know that life is for the taking, so I better wise up, and take it quick
Yeah, one more time at Trader Vic's

Some men there wanted to hurt us
And other men said we weren't worth the fuss
We could see them all bitching by the bar
About the fine line, between the rich and the poor
Then Mike turned to me and said
What do you think we got done son?
We've got a conclusion, and I guess that's something, so I ask you
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the nectar, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
We need to fix you up, call me Monday and maybe we'll fix it all up

Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.
So I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?

Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.
