I had visions, I was in them I was looking into the mirror, To see a little bit clearer, The rottenness and evil in me, Fingertips have memories Mine can't forget the curves of your body, And when i feel a bit naughty, I run it up the flagpole and see, Who salutes(But no one ever does)
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell!
Been around the world and found That only stupid people are breeding, The cretins cloning and feeding, And I don't even own a TV Put me in the hospital for nerves And then they had to commit me, You told them all i was crazy, They cut off my legs now i'm an amputee, (God damn you)
I'm not sick but I'm not well, And I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell I'm not sick but I'm not well And it's a sin to live so well
I wanna publish zines, And rage against machines, I wanna pierce my tongue It doesn't hurt, it feels fine, The trivial sublime, I'd like to turn off time And kill my mind, You kill my mind,
Paranoia paranoia! Everybody's coming to get me, Just say you never met me, I'm runnin' underground with the moles, (Digging holes) Hear the voices in my head I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring! But if you're bored then you're boring, The agony and the irony, they're killing me
I'm not sick but I'm not well and I'm so hot cause I'm in hell I'm not sick but I'm not well and it's a sin to live this well
One, two, three, four! (Guitar Solo)

..grunge version of The Association, which is a fine way to define the genius of the track.
so how's that job at GQ going Charles?

Kind of wondering if the arrival of "Peep Show" on Netflix streaming in the US will re-spark interest in this song? I don't quite know how, but I managed to *never* hear it until a few months ago. Catchy. I do remember seeing the first CD in used bins all the time, but that's it.
― dlp9001, Saturday, 25 August 2012 17:05 (eleven years ago) link
the stations that played the song in the '90s still play it all the time, although people don't listen to them as much anymore.

It's really pretty decent. Dandy Warhols were both smarter and stupider at the same time, which is a neat trick to pull off. Semisonic vs. Harvey Danger? Though Semisonic's best album doesn't come out until a few years later.

― formerly EDB (ed.b), Saturday, 25 August 2012 17:45 (eleven years ago) link
it came on the radio while we were driving home like an hour ago and my wife said "i should buy this song for my ipod" and i looked at her with mild horror
― some dude, Sunday, 26 August 2012 00:39 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe it depends on whether you associate the song with late 90's alt rock or with the best sitcom (apparently) in the history of the world? I dunno, but I like it...
― dlp9001, Sunday, 26 August 2012 01:08 (eleven years ago) link
I like it -- the combination of nerdgoof 90s style plus loud distorted guitar and bass noise going on constantly in the background appeals to me. The lyrics might be harder to swallow if the guitars weren't so noisy, but that not being the case, this is a very cool and unique pop song.
― Three Word Username, Sunday, 26 August 2012 09:53 (eleven years ago) link
Never heard it before Peep Show. Was incredibly drunk on my birthday last year and went to a US vs UK 90s night (it was awesome) and they played this and I was in such a state that I couldn't work out why they were playing the theme music to the best sitcom in the history of the world :D
― kinder, Sunday, 26 August 2012 13:51 (eleven years ago) link
There's a feedback/noise solo buried during the last chorus that no one's mentioned yet... prolly my favorite part.

OK I've never actually heard the whole song but ever since Peep Show started up again I've been singing the parts of it that are featured on that programme over and over again. I'm going to go and check out the full version right now
― paolo, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 19:36 (eleven years ago) link
Well that was pretty much what I expected. I imagine it would be a lot of fun to dance drunk to

was gonna say wasn't "Flagpole Sitta" in the trailer for a Rachael Leigh Cook movie but i guess i confused Antitrust with Disturbing Behavior

trendy haters! i actually am ok with the song, just think a slowed down, super sensitive version is hilarious.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 21:22 (eleven years ago) link
It really suffers from not having the "I wanna publish zines and rage against machines" couplet.

My rage was probably directed at self only Tyler. No offence. I returned to their second(?) album recently thanks to a mention upthread. It sounded decent.

i also enjoyed the three seconds of "flagpole sitta" featured in the film disturbing behavior (which i saw at the dollar theater becuz i had a crush on katie holmes).― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, July 4, 2005 8:10 AM (7 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
