DESCRIPTION:
The song is From the British Television show The Young Ones. Buddy Holly is found alive hanging by a parachute in an upstairs bedroom of a rental house. He explains that he's been kept alive for these many years by eating insects, and he wrote a song about his bug diet. Since the song wasn't very long on the show, we added two new verses. The drums were recorded first, using electric drum pads, so there are a few missteps, but I still had to share since it is such a fun song,
Lyrics:
Saturday night
Hanging out for a bite
Find a real cutie with the dust mite blues
Hangnail, high tail, fairy tale, very well
Finding anything that I can chew
Coo coo daddy long legs
Rough it up, rough it up, whoa oh oh oh oh
Rain fly pie with a mosquito side salad
23 years on a meat-free diet
Beetles, crickets, it's gonna get you sick kids
It's here's a little sucker and you ought to try it
Coo coo, daddy long legs
Rough it up, rough it up, whoa oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh oh
Daddy Longlegs
Clear Lake sock hop with Ritchie and Big Bop
Dreaming of corn dogs and maybe some Jiffy Pop
June bugs, potato slugs are juicy bits of protein
Low amounts of calories are keeping me real lean
Coo coo, daddy long legs
Rough it up, rough it up, whoa oh oh oh oh
February fly night, I fell from the dark sky
An eight legged savior's what I need to survive
Millipede, Fly, Tick, I wish I had a toothpick
That's alright, I'll be hangin' round singing
Coo coo, daddy long legs
Rough it up, rough it up, whoa oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh oh
Coo coo, daddy long legs
Coo coo, daddy long legs
Daddy Long legs
Coo coo
Coo coo
