High marks for Mr. Jackson, too. I remember a friend who worked at a Record Factory store had to talk me into buying this. So, so glad she did. It got played daily at my house that fall.

Just notice how the Square Pegs theme is built around the melody of Chopsticks. Seriously.

Did Mark Mothersbaugh do that one?

ETA: Nope, it was the Waitresses.

Sorry, catchy tune, but... (and I know Gaz is with me on this one)...among The. Dumbest. Lyrics in a half-decade LOADED with 'em.

Don't need a Roller
Or a Limousine
I don't need my picture
In a magazine
Don't need approval
From a chosen few
I tell you what I do need
I need you.

Don't need no fixtures
Or feelings of home
I'm so unfurnished
I'm on my own
Don't need reminding
When the rent is due
Tell you what I do need
I need you

I need you
Like a fly needs a plane
I need you
Like a ball needs a game
I need you
Like a pool needs a cue
I need you, need you, need you
I need you

I don't need no covered kisses
To comfort me
I don't want no washed up dishes
Soft soaping me (WTF!?)
Don't need no cinderella
In high heeled shoes (I believe they were glass, not high-heeled)
I tell you what I do need
I need you

da da da da
da da da da
da da da da da da da da
ooh lala la la
I need you

I need you
Like a fly needs a plane (redux)
I need you
Like a ball needs a game
I need you
Like a shot needs to shoot (lots of items shoot shot, but not the other way around, afaik)
I need you, need you, need you
I need you

I need you, need you, need you
I need you

Said I want you
I need you

I need you, need you, need you
I need you

Well I want
I want you
I need you

Novelty song lyrics married to blue-eyed soul just does not work for me.

Damn clever wordplay, IMHO. Elvis Costello (or George Jones) would be proud.

P.S. I defy you, Mike(!), to find dumber lyrics in any Rush song.

"Willfully obscure" I grant you.  No question.  But out & out Dumb?  This sets the bar.

I'll have to take your word on George Jones, but I think Elvis never made similes that called into question whether or not* he was a native speaker of English like these lyrics do.

*if y'all have not previously encountered the unintended genius of English As She Is Spoke, please click on the link above.  Don't take my word for it, take Mark Twain's.
