Lyrics:

The Song:

First a note on the title: there are no "official" titles on Don't Get Bent Out Of Shape, but somewhere along the way someone added them. When the tape began circulating, these names went with it. Most of them are perfectly fine and accurate, but this track was referred to as "Big Stompin' Mama." Since this title is already taken by a song on Fresh Meat, and the line does not actually occur here, I'll use "Don't Shit Me, Mama" instead.

Anyway, I dig this recording. There's a lot of lo-fi percussion and crazy guitar, and Beck's falsetto is very amusing. I just get this insane image in my head of him sitting in a room, banging drums and guitars, and singing "Make me breakfast while I'm waiting" at the top of his lungs. What fun!
