SotD: The Seatbelts: LIVE in Baghdad

Today's Song of the Day is a track from the Cowboy Bebop! OST, off the disc titled No Disc. The song is heavy and yet sounds like a decidedly odd pot-pourri of speed metal, surf, punk and pop all mixed together in a batter of parody. The result is quite hilarious. However, the clincher is the lyrics (attributed to Gabriela Robin) which are included at the end of this post. They are singularly nonsensical (which is a characteristic shared with many of her other songs) with the rhyme being the only thing holding them together. The lyrics are delivered so masterfully by Endoh Masaaki that it almost seems as if they are in a different tongue altogether.

Ever eaten crabtree?
Missing in the wanting
Any else comb tease?
Missing in the wanting

Chaka Khan, canine
Tell us, cold eel
Can you have an eye out?
Tell us, oh dear

Ever on a phone tree?
Missing since the fourteenth
Annie has cow cheese
Missing in the wanting

Shanghai, canine
Tell us, cold eel
Can you have an eye out?
Tell us, oh dear

On this, by this
Bend this, shin this
I don't intend to be so bold
B&B, if only I had money
