This post-FAWM track was a massive headache for me. This is our reaction track to the mini-meme that "Kyle, Are You Ian?" created, imitating Worm Quartet and Devo Spice, our FuMPmates who kicked it off. It came out really, really, really weird. In my attempt to make it not-too-inside-baseball, it became almost entirely inside baseball.

lyrics
I strolled through the arena as the lights were dimming low
I begged the old ringmaster, told him i didn't really want to go
He smiled and he chuckled as he laughed at me and said
"I don't give a rats ass what you want, you're just as frikkin' good as dead"
I begged for my life, offered him all of my money
But he just handed me a chair, covered me with imitation honey
He then handed me a bullwhip, and gave me a salute
He pulled a rope then disappeared down a tiny trap door chute
The crowd began to chant, and much to my surprise
I found that the darkness was adjusting to my eyes
I saw it in the distance, and I began a'cryin'
For towering above me was a giant hungry lion!
The lion looked me over, and then said with a grin
"I really hope you've gone and notified your next of kin"
Startled that it was talking, but hoping that he'd fed
I tried to talk my way out of this, and this is what I said
Chorus:
K: I noticed you noticing me
I: Can't pretend, y'see.
K: That your eyes can't be
I: Far removed from me.
K: I noticed you noticing me
I: I see you hear, y'see.
K: Seems your ears can't be
Both: far removed from me.
K: I noticed you noticing me
I: Can't pretend, y'see.
K: That your eyes can't be
I: Far removed from me.
K: I noticed you noticing me
I: I see you hear, y'see.
K: Seems your ears can't be
Both: far removed from me.
K:
Is that slow enough? I can fit in more words this way.
I can't help but think that all the eyes are on me.
For example, this morning I was at the DMV.
I gotinthedoor about 10 seconds from the scheduled time.
And so they made me stand on the regular line. That's fine
I mean, theregularline was only roughly 20 miles long.
At the end the guy I stood behind was actually wearing a thong
Under his clothes, mind you, but it wasn't muchofa secret
But that wasn't the part that made me feel the ultimate regret
I gottothefrontoftheline about 14 hours later.
I was screamingandlosingmymind when they said I'd have to pay their
crazy fine from back in 1995 in Paducah, Kentucky?
I've never even been there! They're eternally lucky
I'm not the vi-o-lent type who would've broken their noses
But do you know just how many Kyle Carrozzas
there are? Well not many, but there's totally more than one.
But all eyes were on me when I pulled out that toy gun.
Chorus:
K: I noticed you noticing me
I: Can't pretend, y'see.
K: That your eyes can't be
I: Far removed from me.
K: I noticed you noticing me
I: I see you hear, y'see.
K: Seems your ears can't be
Both: far removed from me.
K: I noticed you noticing me
I: Can't pretend, y'see.
K: That your eyes can't be
I: Far removed from me.
K: I noticed you noticing me
I: I see you hear, y'see.
K: Seems your ears can't be
Both: far removed from me.
K: I'm Ian, I mean Kyle. Yes, of Scooter Picnic fame.
Since we wrote a little something, things just haven't been the same.
See we made a bunch of songs in the course of a month
And I know a coupl'a guys who just couldn't get enough.
Now we're being imitated and we couldn't love it more.
Especially Ian. He's a real attention whore.
Was it natural talent or a creative choice?
No, I just listened to my little inner voice. And he says…

Kyle has a gift for creating earworms—catchy tunes that you just cannot get out of your head until they've achieved their purpose. (Which is? That would be telling...) At the moment I'm particularly fond of "I Don't Know Why There's a Bug in Here," which I predict within five years will dominate campfires and school buses. Brother Osric

This album is pretty much "all good" as they say. I like all the tracks, but somehow, "The Games I Used To Play" was my life in the '80s. Ian, you've done it again! roboknight
