Band: Cake
Album: Comfort Eagle
Song: Opera Singer
Lyrics: I am an Opera Singer
I stand on painted Tape
It tells me where I'm going
And where to throw my cape

I call my co-star's brother
I call my co-star's name
I play both good and evil parts
I sing to Verdi's play

And every single morning
By 10 AM I'm dressed
My rehearsals last for hours and hours
With diligence I have been blessed

Some people they call me monster
Some people they call me saint
My talent feeds my darker side
Yet no one will complain

I am an opera singer
I sing in foreign lands
I've sung for kings in Europe
And emperors in Japan

And after each performance
People stand around and wait
Just to tell me that they love my voice
Just to tell me that I'm great

I am an opera singer
I will sing when you're all dead
I sing the mountains crumbling apart
I sing what can't be said

I am an opera singer
I sing in foreign lands
Most people seem to know my name
Or at least know who I am

  • After listening to all of your CAKE videos I can't do anyone else's. You are truly a blessing from the gods of awesome music. Thank you from the bottom of my CAKE loving heart. :D

  • @koryakapelinal333 I..... have been waiting for someone to say that, and you are the first. It tears my heart apart seeing people with some cake but not all of it. That is why I did what I did. I'm thinking of putting all the albums into separate playlists after summer break. Thank you for the comment and keep enjoying the cake.

  • it must be hard to sing opera

  • It's hard to sing in general. Sing WELL that is.

  • I commend you for your dedication to CAKE. I won't watch anyone else's CAKE vids cuz I want to give my views to you.

  • I sincerely thank you, I have seen a bunch of cake vids around youtube myself, but there aren't very many, and the people that post them only post a few. I did this so that the world could view cake without having to go through such a great hassle. I'm glad that so many people appreciate it.

  • I am actually an Opera singer... tbh, this is not far from the truth lol xD

  • There's really a lot to this song. It's ironic that not a single note of this hits an operatic style, but it's amazing at how each component of the music seems to be running on its own stand-alone melody, or fall-alone melody; but when combined, they com together quite harmoniously.

  • @Swordmaster10 Nah, you just have to let go of inhibitions, and you have to be able to listen to yourself. ^_^ Most people who don't like singing don't like being heard. Those who are bad at singing, but don't mind being heard, are unaware that they sound bad because they're thinking of what they should sound like. Those who sing well are thinking of how they should sound while also listening to and comparing themselves.

  • This, Long Line of Cars, or Pretty Pink Ribbon is my favorite song off this album; regardless, everything off of Comfort Eagle is gold.

    Just a side note: Does the guy remind anyone else of George Clooney?

  • This should have been in a Daria episode.

  • "clap, clap, clap, clap, clap,clap!!"

  • i wanna marry and raise a family with every single song cake ever made :D

  • My brother straight up sprinted to backstage and used the last of his voice to tell the guitar player he was great(:

  • cake is one of the few bands i can just throw on in the car and not hit the skip button

  • I LOVE this band and this is one of my most favorite songs.
