With a name based on a Mystery Science Theater 3000 riff, EPP was originally going to mostly house B-movie reviews. Now though, it has become a repository for whatever burrs get under my pop culture saddle on any given day. Seriously, I must be insane; who else voluntarily reads a book on the history of jeans...and enjoys it?

Self-Indulgence: 30 Day Music Meme: Day 13: A Song You Sing in the Shower

We'll just pretend that this applies to me; as if I would sing in the shower.

Day 13: A Song You Sing in the Shower

 A while back, The Simpsons did yet another episode about Marge and Homer's dating days.  This one was bumped up from the 70s/80s to the early 90s, of course, since the show itself has since progressed (with no aging of characters, this being a cartoon).  The Homer of this ep became a Grunge singer and, with his band Sadgasm performed a little song called Margerine.
Like all of the other songs in the ep, it was pretty much a parody of a real Grunge/Post-Grunge song, this time Bush's Glycerine.  I LOVE this song.  If I sang in the shower, this would be what I would sing.




LYRICS (Note: The video above is the "long mix" that includes some versal repetition.  The basic lyrics are what appeared on the show)

Spread yellow gunk
on my pancake heart,
Country churned girl
in my grocery cart.
I paid for her dreams,
she taught me to cry,
Like watery knives,
like rain from my eyes.
I can't believe you're not mine,
I can't believe you're not mine.
Margerine.
Margerine.
Margerine.
MARGERINE.
MARGERINE.
