about

One day, while driving with my mom, Tom Waits’ “The Piano Has Been Drinking” came on WXPN. I loved it but my mom didn’t like it as much, which inspired the first line of “Cow Tipping” on “Return to the Hell Hole Store” with ialive. I looked up the song again much later and came up with the idea to do a present day hip hop version of the song. Playing shows like the ones I’ve done, you develop a distaste for it at times. So I understood where Tom was coming from. Tom Waits also plays the character Dr. Heller from Mystery Men, which is where I get my producer alias from. So me getting into his music during making this album, it felt as if things were coming full circle in a way. Though I didn’t make the beat for this, that was all ialive, which is why it’s so good.

lyrics

The keyboard has been drinking, my DJ is asleep
And the promoter went back to Philly, the turntable had to take a leak
And the opener needs a haircut, and the sound man's watching a movie
And my cellphone's out of service, and the owner wants to sue me
And the SP has been drinking, the SP-404 has been drinking...

And the bartender is wheezing, and the mixer is deaf in one ear
And it can't hear out of the other
And the punk band has a hearing aid, and they showed up with they're mothers
And the keyboard has been drinking, the keyboard has been drinking

As the bouncer is a barbaric hippie Santa seal clubbing bozo
And the booking agent is a mental midget with the I.Q. of a fence post
'Cause the loop pedal has been drinking, the loop pedal has been drinking...

And you can't find your waitress with the attitude of a pouncer
And she hates you and your friends and you just can't get served without her
And the door guy is drooling, and the bar stools are on fire
And the flyer was lying, and the ash-trays have retired
'Cause my laptop has been drinking, my laptop has been drinking
The microphone has been drinking, not me, not me, not me, not me, not me


Where is my iPod?
I left it on the train tracks
Where is my iPod?
I gotta get that thing back
