Rivers Cuomo: The Search for a Wife Tour!

I think it comes down to whether you prefer Rivers Cuomo's vocal style over Thom York's.


Frankly, I'm a huge fan of Cuomo's voice and even prefer it to York's (though I love his, too).

Very high level of difficultly of a cover.

How cool is this? I agree with Herb - I am going to teach myself this song and then wait for Rivers Cuomo to invite me to his next jam session.

Lead singer Rivers Cuomo calls this "A totally insane song about a homosexual transvestite prostitute."

and from the song..

first chorus:

Oh, come on and kick me
Oh, come on and kick me
Come on and kick me
You've got your problems
I've got my eye swipe
You've got your big G's
I've got my hash pipe

second chorus:

Oh, come on and kick me
Oh, come on and kick me
Come on and kick me
You've got your problems
I've got my ass wide
You've got your big G's
I've got my hash pipe

Third chorus reverts back to the "eye swipe" version

other interesting line in the lyrics:

I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
These players come to get me 'cause they'd like my behind

and

I can't help my boogies they get out of control
I know that you don't care but I want you to know
The knee-stocking flavor is a favorite treat
Of men that don't bother with the taste of a teat
