Cake Thrills

From B-Sides and Rarieties:

Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies...
And it's all Vanity.

And that's about the way it is in the marry-go-round

You get on...
You go around...
Standing in the saddle...

Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies...
And it's all vanity.

He tries thrills.

He said I gave myself to enjoy pleasure.

What are teenagers doing today?

They're trying every thrill there is in the books.

We got color TV,
But it still isn't satisfying.

Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies....
And it's all vanity.

(Shouts-kind of non-understandable)
You can't understand it,
It's going so loud,
And so-forth and they're wiggling and wobbling around
And everything else,
And-and yet they're not satisfied
And these disc jockies,
They hear the tune and it's different!

Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies....

And it's all Vanity.

(Shouts-kind of non-understandable)
You can't understand it,
It's going so loud,
And so-forth and they're wiggling and wobbling around
And everything else,
And-and yet they're not satisfied
And these disc jockies,
They hear the tune and it's different!
Hears the tune and it's different!

Man is Born,
Man Lives,
Man Dies...
And it's all Vanity.

@Coreyhalliwell you don't listen to it for the vocals, you listen to have a musical experience

[icycold3347]

it's like a legal drug trip

[RedShift544]

@AllRiseForDrEvil Fantastic? It's the only song I could listen to until I die.

[TheLatvian76]

Long live theCake! Cannot wait to see them live some day.

[rnrdemon]

Nice remake of a funk classic from the early 70s: It's basically Chakachas' "Stories" with added lyrics.

[joeyc5446]

@thcblockpartyLivinKM Except not... there's some country in there but not a country band

[MrMagneticPelican]

it sounds like oral roberts. one of my favorite songs by them though

[calgram]

This is so weird but I like it. Somehow the chicano beat contrasted with the fundamentalist rant creates something that's more than the sum of it's parts.

[FierySockHat]

@alenest they just came out with a new album and are touring a little, so no.

[thcblockpartyLivinKM]

It's so f-ing awesome that they are a country band.
