UNDERNEATH THIS BUS
THIS DRIVER SAID, “YOU GOTTA PAY THE FARE, SON
IF YOU’RE GONNA RIDE, ZAT SO LUDICROUS?
SIT RIGHT DOWN, I’M TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING
AND I’LL NEVER THROW YOU UNDERNEATH THIS BUS
YEAH, I’LL NEVER THROW YOU UNDERNEATH THIS BUS”
CLICKING ON THE MIKE, HE THANKED THE RIDERS
FOR PICKING US, AND PAYING UP YOUR TRUST
BUT AS I HEARD HIM TALK, I GOT TO THINKING
SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN TO THROW US ALL BENEATH THIS BUS
HE HAD A PLAN TO THROW US UNDERNEATH THIS BUS
BIG OL’ PLAN TO THROW US ALL BENEATH THIS BUS
FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD I YANKED THE BUZZER
BUT HE SPEEDED UP AND YELLED, “JUST CUT THE FUSS
I’LL LET YOU OFF, WHEN I’M GOOD AND READY
AND IT’S TIME TO THROW YOU ALL BENEATH THIS BUS
YEAH, IT’S TIME TO THROW YOU ALL BENEATH THIS BUS
I AM THROWING YOU ALL UNDERNEATH THIS BUS”
BOOM BOOM
WE ALL LIKE SPEED BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY
RIDER ROADKILL
WE JUST LIKE SPEED BUMPS IN THE ROADWAY
RIDER ROADKILL
IF YOU’RE GONNA RIDE / PAY THE FARE SON
RIDER ROADKILL
THANKING ALL YOU RIDERS / FOR PAYING UP YOUR TRUST
RIDER ROADKILL

Great to finally hear the art that has matured from those loops and fragments we listened to in the car.

To Joe and Patrick,
Yeah, you both heard snippets and early formations in my car. Tons more to come. Thank You.

In order to be thrown under the bus in this organization you must fill out FORM BUS101. At which point we will evaluate multiple points of merits of the minimal requirements of being thrown under a bus. All decisions are final. Love the song.

Corlene, Thank You.
Mike, Can I get the forms online? For free? Glad you love the song.

Hey, Tom. I wasn’t sure about any of these the first time around. Then I remembered to turn my subwoofer on :-).
My favorites are Underneath the Bus (I love all the do-do in the middle) and American Rhumba (very clever rhymes). Either could be a hit single (is there still such a thing as a hit single? Something tells me NOT).

Hey Bob,
There are still hit singles, and the only thing we know for sure is that all singles sound better with a subwoofer.
Thank you. Now we have a smiley yellow face at the site.

Need to get this one out on the web before 2012. I’m not sure I bought a ticket to ride, but I got stuffed in the baggage compt. Maybe you need to do a music video with look alikes and all. I can come up with a bus to use. I feel like “Rider Road Kill” every time I watch CNN.
Another one that I catch myself listening to when I want to have fun.

Hey Da,
Glad you’re having fun with it, despite all the violent imagery. Boom, boom.
As far as video ideas, you and I both look a little bit like roadkill, so I don’t think we’ll need stand-ins or look alikes; we can play ourselves.
