about

A pop song. See if you can spot the Lulu reference and the Honeymooners reference. We used to play this song in Haberland (a more rockified version of course). You'll notice in some of these songs the drums don't sound like... drums. I was going through a phase of being sick of the drum machine, and wanting a more organic sound, so I was playing drums by hitting common household items. I think the "snare" in this recording is a cardboard box.

lyrics

when I saw her
sitting in the street
all adjectives were obsolete
because
you’re the caffeine in my coffee
you’re the color in my TV
you’re me and you and you and me
when I saw her
moving round and round
when I saw her my eyes went up and down
because
you’re the money in my pocket
you’re the gas in my Chevrolet
you’re who I gotta gotta get
if you wanted the sky in the afternoon
if you wanted July, April, May and June
and I hope you like it on the moon
cuz girl someday you’re gonna get it
when I saw her
sitting in the street
til then my life was incomplete
because
you’re the caffeine in my coffee
you’re the color in my TV
you’re me and you and you and me
when I saw her
when I saw her
when I saw her

pseudonym San Francisco, California

Pseudonym is a band consisting of me, Paul Desjarlais, and other real or imaginary people. Back in Boston a long time ago I used to play bass for The Uncalled Four, and then for Haberland. After that I released a cassette album called Pabz, and later a CD called Pig Tail World. Now I live in San Francisco and I record songs when I get a chance and sometimes post albums online. ... more
