Album names decided guys!
look for "We'll Never Get Around to Making an" EP in late 2006!(hahahahaaa!!) Yes, we did make that name intentionally.
check the lyrics to all the songs in the "blog" section, along with motives for making them.
album tracks:
1. Checkered Moustache
2. New Kicks
3. GTHT*
4. Let's Make a Racket
*note that GTHT stands for Goodbye Traction Hello Treetrunk, but that the name of the song is actually "GTHT".
Our first full length album will come out later, probably in early 2007. We'll call it Laughing at the Epileptic Dog.
For any copies of lyrics, Email Deadmanswake@yahoo.com, or AIM: RIKxOFxADTF, I'll gladly give you any we have.
Full List of Lyrics so far:
Checkered Moustache, New Kicks, GTHT, Let's Make a Racket, Papa Collar, Little Querks, Click Bang Catastrophe, Por Vous, Everyone Who Ever Ever Wanted to Listen to Ska is in a Ska Band Now, General Gau's Chicken and Duck Sauce do not Bode Well for the Teenage Stomach.

explanation/disclaimer: Thank you Pete (he wrote the majority of this song). I have to say, it's one of my favorites. We all agree, it sounds like something, something familiar, but no one can quite put their finger on it. We may put up a demo version of it soon, but there's a section with some...interesting...off-beat clapping (courtesy of Rik [possibly having a heart attack at the time]) which we have lovingly entitled "the suck". Please, enjoy.

opener (instrumental)
[verse 1]
you strap us down and poke our teeth
with metal pointy things and now
we're gonna' give you a taste of
your own medicine so
[chorus]
kiss that insurance money goodbye
grab your white coats and try to hide
from your patients 'cause we're
pissed and now we've stolen all your drills
you'll need some crowns and then a bridge
since we've lowered your jaw a smidge
looks like you'll need a filling too
'cause we're coming after you
(instrumental)
[verse 2]
no, this office ain't yours anymore
put down your brushes and get on the floor
you didn't like the blood, so you became a dentist
now face the wrath of the toothless menace
[chorus]
breakdown-instrumental (acoustic+swing)
[chorus]
(p.s. to anyone who actually reads these things: what do you think- should the title be as listed, or should it be Revenge of the Dental Patients (From Beyond the Grave)?)

Hiya guys! (again, assuming anyone's actually READING these things) It's Jon, your friendly neighborhood psychopath, letting anyone who cares know the new lineup uf Return of the Sequel. (it is as follows):
Rik - bass guitar (not vocals)
Pete - Trombone (and vocals?)
Tom - Trumpet (and vocals?)
Jon - Drums (and vocals?)
Mike - Vocals (and Master of All Things That Go Into Other Things)
Joe - Tenor Saxophone
Sol - Guitar
Steph - Vocals (and vocals?)
(holy crap; we have eight [8] people!)
*as for "and vocals", we all sort of sing at practice, so it's unclear as to what we do; come see us at our next gig (which we hope to know all the details about shortly) and you'll see what I mean.

Explanation/Disclaimer: so basically, we wrote a ballad about a murder. Inspiration for me comes basically from every Catch 22 song ever, because it's all about the Mafia. We present the bridge in three parts to be sung by three different people, because it's a courtroom scene if you're retarded. Figure it out!
-Rik
The reason why we decided to put both our names on the list is becuz this song is our melded, retarded, five limbed brainchild, that no one really wants, so it's a custody battle over who pays child support.... as Rik so perfectly put it.

Lyrics by Rik of ADTF and Baglow
[chorus]
Click went the hammer
Bang went the gun
Down fell the body
Of someones son
The search for the killer
Has just begun
But I won't stop until
My vengence is done
[verse 1]
A hand full of pills
And some shotgun shells
Some sent him to heaven
The others to hell
But when the day's done
Only one will last
And he finds himself
A thing of the past
Hey!
[chorus]
[verse 2]
Detective Dubois
looked out on the scene
He was a high end cop
And his skills were pretty mean
But the case had no hold
Cause there was no proof
Cause how could someone
Get shot from the roof
[chorus]
[verse 3]
An angle was found
The shot had been placed
There were a few black hats
And an unseen face
The motions were swift
And the damage was raw
But what else can you expect from the mafia?
[chorus]
[verse 4]
The ends were tied up
The criminals were found
The chase scene was nigh
And the feet hit the ground
As the cops and the baddies
In race were betrothed
I sat and laughed cause
I hate them both
[chorus]
[bridge]
So in conclusion I want to state my case
The man that I shot deserved to be erased
He was an asshole and he deserved to die
When they hold his funeral, no one's gonna cry
[bridge 2]
But your honor, his case is a big mess
Nowhere but in jail is where he deserves to rest
It's not who he killed, but how they died that counts
And I don't know about you, but I only see his rounds
[bridge 3]
Unfortunately, for the both of you today
I, the judge, am sick of all the shit you have to say
So instead of verdict, I'll just arrest both of you
Any last words, cause the slammer's right in view

Explanation/Disclaimer: i really can't say anything about this one, except for the fact that we think preps are annoying and with the exception of a few cool ones, most of them suck. it's Baglow's song so i'll let him say stuff about it later.
-Rik
Well, this song was actually a tru story. I was at camp and there was this older kid who i didnt really care to know his name because he was a dick so i just called him Papa Collar becuz he always had prepyy jeans and a Polo on... with the collar "popped." He thought he was badass and I ended up pouring flower and water on him when my cabin pranked his cabin.. so it was an all around good time.
-Baglow
Lyrics by Baglow
Opening]
Papa Collar pop Papa Collar (Papa Collar)
Papa Collar pop Papa Collar (Papa Collar)
Papa Collar pop Papa Collar (Papa Collar)
Papa Collar pop Papa Collar
YEAH!
[Verse One]
There is this kid that I know
Well not really
I know him by his Polo shirt
I never really caught his name
But there's somethin' he does
That drives me insane
[Chorus]
Papa Collar walkin' down the hall
Papa Collar struttin' his stuff
Papa Collar looks so cool
And Papa Collar looks so tough
Walkin' like he just don't care
Collar all up in the air
Papa Collar
I DON"T GET IT!
[Verse Two]
I never really grasped the concept
And I guess it makes me a reject
I think it all goes to show that
I never really flowed with the flow
[Chorus]
[Ending]
Papa Collar pop Papa Collar (Papa Collar)
Papa Collar pop Papa Collar (Papa Collar)
Papa Collar pop Papa Collar (Papa Collar)
Papa Collar pop Papa Collar
