The following may be classified as an example of "good lyrics" or 
"bad lyrics", depending on how sensitive/repressed/random you are.
The song was played a lot about a month ago in Boston.  It is
called "I like them Big and Stupid" by Julie Brown (I went to high
school with someone named Julie Brown... Naah, couldn't be...)
It goes somthing like this (from month-old memory):

	I like them Big and Stupid

When I need something to help me unwind,
I get a six-foot baby with a one-track mind.
Smart guys are nowhere, they make demands,
Give me a moron with talented hands.
When I go bar hopping and they say last call,
I start shopping for a Neanderthal.

chorus:
The bigger they come, the harder I fall,
We make love 'till we're done and then they're out in the hall.
I like them big and stupid.
I like them big and real dumb.


What kind of guy does a lot for me? 
Superman with a lobotomy.
My father went to Harvard, my brother went to Yale,
But the guy I took home last night just got out of jail.
The way he grabbed and threw me, Ooh it got me hot.
But the way he growled and bit me, I hope he had his shots.



I met a guy who drives a truck.
He can't tell time but he sure can drive.  <== Best Line!!!
I asked his name and he had to think.
Could I have found the missing link?
He's so stupid, you know what he said?
Well, I forgot what he said, but it was so stupid.




A lot of the amusement of the song comes from the phrasing
and tone.  As hack songs go, I like it much better than
anything by The Fools (Psycho Chicken, Life Sucks and then
You Die),  The Curly Shuffle, Weird Al's stuff, etc.
See if your favorite local station will play it.
