ReTitled Tune Tuesday; or, In search of Chump

You know how bad I am at keeping with Memes. It's like I've said before, I usually just forget, or else can't be, umm, Wordless , for instance. However, I have toyed with Tuesday Tunes and I have recently decided I will actually do Tuesday Tunes Retitled. And to kick it off I will do more than one because I have been so entertained with recent lyrics.

For Instance, this one I would call The Kind of Song I Can Totally See BoyKid Writing, or How to Live with Sisters and Girl Friends

(formerly known as Mood Rings by Reliant K)

We all know the girls that I am talking about
Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
And the only questions when theyll blow up
And theyll blow up; we know that without a doubt
Cause theyre those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them

And Ive contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Lets get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So well be tipped off to when theyre ticked off
Cause well know just what theyre thinking
Cause what theyre thinking...

Shes so pretty but she but doesnt always act that way
Her moods out swinging on the swing set almost every day
She said to me that shes so happy its depressing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring

If its drama you want then look no further
Theyre like the real world meets boy meets world meets days of our lives
And it just kills me how they get away with murder
Theyll anger you then bat their eyes; those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize

And Ive contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Lets get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So well be tipped off to when theyre ticked off
Cause well know just what theyre thinking
Cause what theyre thinking...

Shes so pretty but she but doesnt always act that way
Her moods out swinging on the swing set almost every day
She said to me that shes so stressed out that its soothing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring

Cause when its black (it) means watch your back because youre probably
The last person in the world right now she wants to see
And when its blue it means that you should call her up immediately
And ask her out because shell most likely agree
And when its green it simply means that she is really stressed
And when its clear it means shes completely emotionless (and thats all right I must confess)

We all know the girls that I am talking about
She liked you wednesday but now its friday and she has to wash her hair
And it just figures that well never figure them out
First shes jekyll and then shes hyde....at least she makes a lovely pair

Mood ring oh mood ring
Oh tell me will you bring
The key to unlock this mystery
Of girls and their emotions
Play it back in slow motion
So I may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind

This one is If Kipluck Wrote a Love Song on One of her Down Days (With Great Apoligies to Fresno But it's One of Those Days)

(Formerly known as You Don't Suck by Chump)

But MORE about this gem. Story #1 - See, it was NOT easy finding. Monday morning I was driving to work and in a yucky mood. And this song came on. It totally made me giggle. I decided I needed the lyrics. It was by Chump, which ALSO made me giggle as they were a little local band when I was in high school and, well, I WAS listening to KOHS 97.1... that's right, boys and girls, I listen to Orem High's little alternative radio station. I think I even SAW Chump a few times, like at Wrapsody when that still existed. I like going to little local shows. Plus, you never know when they will get big, Like The Used used to play there, ooh and remember when Auqabats was semi-local? Or the Killers? Yes, I am a geek. ANYWAY, so when I got home I searched the net for the song. The problem is all it would give me is some rather NOT it lyrics from Eminem.

FINALLY I found the BAND named Chump, Here! Only problem? THAT is not them. Then I realized that SOMEWHERE in this house I owned at least 2 old Chump CDs. (One of which has the Chicken Butt song on it, Mali! Remember that? "NOOOOOOOO!" Hee hee hee hee hee!) So I looked in my CDs. The CDs are there, but with out website info (And I DON'T have the one WITH the song of the day on it.). SO I dug through a box to find CD CASES and... HOORAY!!!! AN ADDY! www.chumpsucka.com!

Story #2 - did you notice how I started that story 1 with an heir of "this is how I found the lyrics?" Well, that was crap because I just wrote that all right as I found the address. Only to find the site defunct. So this could be the STUPIDEST Tune Tuesday I have ever done as it won't even HAVE the lyrics I was desperate to post! Also, it is the ONLY Tune Tuesday I have ever done making it, pretty much, a faliure ALL AROUND possibly. SO this is all I know now after MUCH more research than one SHOULD afford things like this. The song is actually called "I Love you 'Cuz You Don't Suck." It was off the Chump CD Sucka, circa 1998. Their old website is now gone.

However, their label has one listed as www.dcsproductions.cjb.net... and... nope, it's gone too.

So, ummm... does anyone have the lyrics for me?

  1. Um, I looked around too and really couldn't come up with anything. No surprise really as CHUMP has been defunct since I was in High School. HOWEVER, I could get in touch with my brother Allan who might have some information. Not entirely sure but he has several of their albums and that song might be on one of them. At the very least he could send me (or you) the song and I (or you) can transcribe it. I know that's a lot of work but...*shrugs*

    And really, how could I forget about CHUMP? They have the Lawnmower song, Muthahardinyourface, Jack and of course, Chickenbutt! NOOOOOO!!!

  2. Oh so...I did one little search for Muthahardinyourface, Jack and came up with a bunch of websites that had information on CHUMP, but I couldn't look too long. You may want to try that...or if you know the album that it is on, try that album title...I don't think it's on Muthahard...

  3. yeah, the 2 I OWN are Muthahardinyourface, Jack And 2-Bits. The album it's on is Sucka. And I am coming up with dead end after dead end.
