I'm not feeling alright today,
I'm not feeling that great,
I'm not catching on fire today,
Love has started to fade,
I'm not going to smile today,
I'm not gonna laugh,
You're out living it up today,
I've got dues to pay,
When the grave digger puts on the foreceps,
The stonemason does all the work,
The barber can give you a haircut,
The carpenter can take you out to lunch,
Now, I just want to play on my panpipes,
I just want to drink me some wine,
As soon as you're born, you start dying,
So you might as well have a good time,
Sheep go to Heaven,
Goats go to Hell,
Sheep go to Heaven,
Goats go to Hell,
I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip,
I don't wanna feel the emptiness,
Old marquees with stupid band names,
I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip,
I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip,
I don't wanna feel the emptiness,
Old marquees with stupid band names,

The grave digger puts on the forceps,

The carpenter can take you out to lunch,
Now, I just want to play on my panpipes,
I just want to drink me some wine,
As soon as you're born, you start dying,

Same could be said for those who like it. If you love this song listen to it and shut the hell up! There are a lot of differing opinions on everything out there. Who the hell says you are right??

Someone should ask the band about these lyrics …. What the F are they singing about?!!

Love the slideshow of sheep and goats.

They are musical artists! Watch them play their instruments and enjoy the show! It's like having your cake and eating it too!

Forceps are used to deliver babies, so a grave digger delivering a baby means you're born to die? That's what I'm thinking that line means.
And that thought goes along perfectly with the lyric "As soon as you're born you start dying, so you might as well have a good time"
Also this song has a biblical theme, and I've always assumed "The carpenter can take you out to lunch" was a Jesus reference. I'll save everyone from what I think all that means, other than to say it's what I LOVE about CAKE's songs; the lyrics just drip with sarcasm and meaning.
To me, this song is a 9, the album is a 9 and the band is a 9.
Long Live RP and having a good time!!
i had all these same thoughts!
all 9s here, too. i just love these guys. i know lots dislike the delivery of the lead vocalist, but that's what makes it for me.

This song was my introduction to CAKE (back in 1999)
I swear i made this cartoon double-take sound when i heard it... still nothing quite like it.

Written by a three year old by the sound of it. Clicking on Skip today, apols.
Everything by Cake is awful
A "fun song" in the same vein as They Might Be Giants. It's getting to be a lost art. Everything out there is trying to make a serious statement, or is just a parody of something else.

Matthew 25. Jesus separates the sheep from the goats on the day of judgement and the sheep go to Heaven and the goats go to Hell.
Also, the story is that they were not so subtly telling off their production company, Capricorn Records, on the last album they did with them. (Capricorn being a goat)

Despite the ratings I always like a bit of Cake.
A bit of fun, lightens the mood and always end up playing the desk bongos.
Catchy is not necessarily bad. It is just is what it is, a bit of froth.

My daughter just told me a few minutes before this that she wanted to get a herd of fainting goats! Then her little girl can scare them all the time.
With a internet radio station that is put together with so much love, it baffles me there is so much hate here.
A friend of mine just sold the house to buy a place to raise goats. Maybe that's an evil place to be.
PSD its you I love.

There's this one song (maybe another album) about being on a cruise ship with all these Europeans. They have us Americans spot on — what with our velour track suit splendor and gym shoes. Love that whole imagery (so true too).

Goats wear short skirts, sheep: long jackets.

I almost never hit the stop button (I cannot remember the last time I did it for one specific song) .... but Cake is able to perform the trick.
It is something about the guy's voice that pretty much annoys me to no end.

I was shocked when I saw I had given this song a 1. I just don't dislike it that much anymore. I'm sort of in between on this song these days. Up to a 5!

Interesting to me that you use the phrase "crappiness of lyrics" because "Cowboy Mambo" has one of my favorite verses lyrically:
Green grass grows 'round the backyard shit house
That is where the sweetest flowers bloom
We are flowers growing in God's garden
And that is why he spreads the shit around
I think it works musically (i.e., sounds better than it reads), and I love how his simple, evocative imagery speaks to something much deeper.
Thanks for your positive response. I'll give DB a little more slack when I hear "Cowboy Mambo" again. It's easy to be snarky and grouchy, esp. when you're listening to someone with limited singing abilities.
As for Cake...I'll just use the PsD button.

Stop taking yourself so damn seriously.
Grab a beer out of the fridge, put your feet up, and listen to how sublimely silly and fun these guys are.
Do I want this song played at my funeral? No. But I think Cake is entertaining as Hell.
The world is turning into such an unforgivable, reprehensible, cold, hateful place that I really appreciate people that have the brass cajones to just be goofy and fun.

Which song is worse: this one or its immediate predecessor, David Byrne's "The Cowboy Mambo" ? Feel free to comment on both singers' lack of ability, crappiness of lyrics and arrangements, etc.

Songs with constant repetition begin to wear thin quickly. I like Cake, but this is not one I care to hear. I turn the volume off while it is playing.

I love me some Cake but this is the only cut I have been hearing on RP lately. Even good cake can get stale ;o) hint hint.
Ugh, how much would we have to collectively donate to get Cake out of the RP rotation forever?

Cake is as absurd as they are amazing. Cake has an absolutely unique sound and style. There is no one like Cake. Sure, they are derivative of themselves, but if you're good, that's no bad thing.
Cake possesses an absolute unique quality of being beyond the norm and challenging, while still being melodic, catchy and poppy.
I think Cake is aptly named... it's good whether you make it from the box or whether you pay a baker a bunch of bucks to make it for you... It just depends on whether you can accept that. Nowhere is it said that interesting worthy music needs to be difficult to listen to or high concept.
Cake. Is. Awesome. No matter the flavor.

A Cardiologist's Funeral
I dunno, this might be kinda COOL at a funeral...
A very prestigious cardiologist died, and was given a very elaborate funeral
by the hospital he worked for most of his life. A huge heart, covered in
flowers, stood behind the casket during the service as all the doctors from
the hospital sat in awe. Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the
casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the
beautiful heart forever.
At that point, one of the mourners just burst into laughter. When all eyes
stared at him, he said, 'I am so sorry, I was just thinking of my own
funeral... I'm a gynecologist.'
Cake is as absurd as they are amazing. Cake has an absolutely unique sound and style. There is no one like Cake. Sure, they are derivative of themselves, but if you're good, that's no bad thing.
Cake possesses an absolute unique quality of being beyond the norm and challenging, while still being melodic, catchy and poppy.
I think Cake is aptly named... it's good whether you make it from the box or whether you pay a baker a bunch of bucks to make it for you... It just depends on whether you can accept that. Nowhere is it said that interesting worthy music needs to be difficult to listen to or high concept.
Cake. Is. Awesome. No matter the flavor.

Personally, I DO want this song played at my funeral. Unless I get cremated, in which case I want my ashes scattered over Disneyland by a low-flying crop-duster with a sheep painted on the underside of one wing and a goat on the other.
Vivé la CAKE!
So many members here love Devo and The B 52s, but they get all butthurt and whargarbl about Cake...
Jesus.
Stop taking yourself so damn seriously.
Grab a beer out of the fridge, put your feet up, and listen to how sublimely silly and fun these guys are.
Do I want this song played at my funeral? No. But I think Cake is entertaining as Hell.
The world is turning into such an unforgivable, reprehensible, cold, hateful place that I really appreciate people that have the brass cajones to just be goofy and fun.
Sue me
Jesus.

The lead singer's detached, bored style is probably due to his limited vocal ability, but this too-cool schtick permeates almost everything the band does. And if the song isn't that strong...then the schtick becomes insufferable.

Okay, the lead singer does not have a great voice but I can understand what he's singing! And it's just different and catchy. Plus I like it when he says, "Go to hell". That's funny!

Yeah, that's interesting. I already knew why I liked this song so much... because it's fun, catchy, and original.

Jeez, I couldn't wait to exit Radio Paradise after hearing that.
