Gibbs' State of Mind

Starring Edward Gibbs (Jacob Knapp) and Jenni Potts. Video by Micah Knapp. Song recorded and mixed by Christopher Newton. Edited by Jacob Knapp. Written by Jacob Knapp, co-written by Micah Knapp.

Lyrics:

Yeah, Yeah I'm in downtown B'ham, watching Vaudevillingham
Next to Dan Anderson, Worldwide Tetris champ
I'm the new Mike Harris, those Idiots made it here
Now they love them everywhere (I got them on my underwear!)

I kick it at the Cop Hog, with My Dad Bruce and your mom
Bellingham Hip Hop, on the 'Real', they don't stop
This is where I fine dine, 3-3-1 State Street
Their Whiskey Crab soup & halibut's so tasty!

Crusin' down Holly Street, red V-W
Got my GPS, on my way to Railroad Avenue!
Boycott the Library, cell phones get to me
They made it their policy, which makes it really hard to read!

Say what up to Kreestoe, rockin' that sweet 'stash
Hilary Swank lived here when she was trailer trash
Glenn Beck got tea-bagged when he went to Sehome
The key to the city was a no-go!

(Chorus):

In Bellingham, city of precipitation
When you need a vacation, come to B-ham
The rain will make you feel brand new
Baker will perspire you, let's hear it for B-ham
B-ham, B-ham

Catch me at Ladyfest, join me for a protest
Take a pink cab and help support healthy breasts
Pan Pan, Rooftops, Yogoman Burning Band
Lumpkins, Polecat, Snug Harbor I'm a fan!

Horseshoe, Pita Pit, I'm all over it
Mallard Ice Cream, I think I'll have a Banana Split
At Chuckanut Ridge I enjoy sipping Red Bordeaux
Dance away the night to Techno down at Glow!

There's lots of places you can go to get a tattoo
But there's only one place with a dong-looking statue
Death Cab For Cutie started right here in B-town
Now that they're big-time, they claim that they're from C-town!

What's up Brent Cole, got no mention in your magazine
Downtown Starbuck's, that's where I get my caffeine
Check out the Thriller Dance every year on Halloween
When you live in Bellingham, you don't ever need Sunscreen!

(Chorus)

Karaoke Thursday's, singing in perfect pitch
Dancing at Glynn's Pub, white-girl sandwich
Drag-queen Wednesday's, Betty Desire show
Foam Party Saturday's, covered from head to toe!

A dozen bars in Bellingham, most of which are run-down
Didn't pay their taxes so most of them shut down
Don't be a Netflix whore, support your local movie store
Film Is Truth, Crazy Mike's, Hollywood take a hike!

Big shot, hot shot, REALLY hot, Jenni Potts
Would you go on a date with me? I know that it's a long-shot
Give it up for Nathan Cox, B-town celebrity,
Viral video gained recent popularity!

To all my homies at the Pickford, I'd like to give a shout-out
Fantastic Stan Goes To Hell, what the hell's it all about?
Bellingham Indie films, what's all the commotion?
This is for the Knapp Bros, shameless self-promotion!

(Chorus)

One hand in the air for the growing city
Come and visit, just don't overrun my city
There's not enough room in this town to share
But your signs in the air, everybody say "No! Go No Go!"

(Chorus)

Think about it!

We don't expect everyone to get all the references - some are definitely more well-known than others...just giving bands/friends a plug. And as far as Starbuck's goes, we are poking fun at the fact that there's at least 10 of them in Bellingham! Hopefully people see this video as a light-hearted joke, as opposed to trying to "one-up" the Bh'am State of Mind. Thanks for the comments!

[MrBradswanson]

[KnappBrothers]

@MrDread423 Thanks. Most of the references are for bands/friends, and are more "underground" shout outs.

Not impressed at all. What good is a parody of a parody?? Really?? Your schtick has been done a thousand times before....at least my Irish parents were original and named me Shamus....oh wait....no they didn't, I legally had my named changed from Cletus, but that's not the point here dammit!! Where's your argument now Gibbs?? The ball is in your court ;-)
