Letra de Anthony (Live)
Little, little something that's been on my heartAnthony, Anthony Oh, he said that he can't love me But I think he can Yes, I think he can And I told him that, just before he ran Just before he ran Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmmAnd he's not lookin' back He's not lookin' back 'Cause he doesn't want anything I have Or anything I am Anthony, Anthony Oh, he said that he can't love me AnthonyYou know what's hardest about writing instrumentals? Is, uh, naming them Naming them is very hard For instance, that last song, I bet you can guess what it's called I know! What's it called Sara? (I know what is, I know what it's called) It's called, du-du-du-du-du-du No (No?)That's not what it's called, it's called the Anthony (ugh) Um, because of the rather significant amount of times that you say the name Anthony That's the nice thing, that's the easy thing about writing vocal songs Naming them is usually kind of a slam dunk Something is repeated often enough Ah generally it raises it's hand, volunteers to be the name of the song, uhm!So, uh, where is, I don't know if you remember there was, a while back there was a song Where a whole lot of times, this thing happened Happened a lot of times, and yet, that song is not called But rather, "The smoothie song" Which is one of the most god-awful instrumental titles in the history of not singing That's how bad it isSomething's gotta be pretty bad to get a sad bass sound Schatzi's auditioning for the David Letterman show, ah next week So, we've emm, we've been a band for 25 years now, since (thank you) Since we were quite we And, uh, naming instrumental songs was even harder than it is now We were actually pretty good at it, back in the day I feel like there were some pretty okay instrumental titles back then "Simple song for salty the singing seesaw? (That was bad one, that was bad, that was bad) Pretty bad, pretty badSean had a couple good ones, "Dragging on empty," that was nice "For all it's worth," that was a pretty good title (for all it's worth, not bad, not bad, not bad) Let's, let's walk through the instrumental titles tonight We started with, with, "Scotch and chocolate," that's a solidScotch, chocolate, good on their own, better together Uh, yeah That song sounds tasty Well so I, I will give that, let's see if it's good enough to receive a happy bass sound (twice) Um, where is of course the next, the next one, that's like a two thumbs-up 95 point kind of instrumental title in my opinion We came up with it together, it was collaborative(Uhmm) Just as, as, as scotch and chocolate are themselves collaborative Yeah that's right, that's right, maybe that's why we did it Uhmm, but then yeah, as we mentioned, "Smoothie song," just did more, ugh! That's more or less my fault, I wrote the song I didn't come up with the name, nor did anyone on stage It's a long story, and it's boring Even more boring than this oneUhmm, but uh, I suppose I'm ultimately at fault because I approved it As the author of the song The next title, "Ode to a butterfly" ahh The girls like it, the ladies Couple bros out there like it AlrightI feel like it's gaining popularity the longer we stand here The longer we stand here, we can just keep, keep rockin' here See, I'm like, I'm like I gat, I love butterflies, love a damn butterfly, it's great, uhmm My fear is that I was sixteen or seventeen when I wrote that song, uh And, and I named it, uh, thusly Because there was a butterfly banging into the window in front of me As I was writing the songI fear, um, that the innocence and optimism of youth, could have colored my perception of that insect And then it could have been a moth And that's why I have misgivings about the title Could've been "Ode to a frickin' moth" Uhmm, but it's, it's not, "Ode to a butterfly" Emm, one thumb up, one thumb, sort-of sagging Oh, interesting, a rare, a rae sort-of in between, a rare Just, just sort-of hanging out bass soundWhat Chris is trying to say is we have improved over the years (over the years) Steady improvement Steady improvement of our, of our instrumental titles (yeah) And, umSome people ask us why we took six and a half years off And it's because we ran out of instrumental titles We had none left, and the reason we got back together was we found some (two!) We found two, that was enough to carry on (let's get the band back together) Let's get the band back together, y'all! And now we're here And now we're hereAt the beautiful Fox theater in Oakland We are here Y'all are here Wait 'til you here the title we have prepared for you I think you're gonna like it Chris, you've, you've taken us most of the way here, why, why don't you unveil it for them May we present to you, the crown jewel
