Liner Notes:

In case it is cut off, the full name is "I'm an abject sniveling pale fifth-rate imitation of a third-rate songwriter seeking to be put out of my misery."

The inspiration (and the entire chorus) comes from a quote by Tim Fatchen (http://fawm.org/fawmers/timfatchen/) in this thread http://fawm.org/forums/thread/519/

"I'm an abject sniveling pale fifth-rate imitation of a third-rate songwriter seeking to be put out of my misery"

Entirely too much fun to do. Thanks, Tim, for the inspiration

Lyrics:

I'm not good with words and I hate English
Grammar and punctuation only serve to confuse
I can't carry a tune in 47 buckets
Even cats try to hit me with their shoes

Looking for a job in the Sunday paper
Only one job appealed to me
"Talent Not Required - Country Emo Performer"
And the rest, as they say is history

(Chorus)
"I'm an abject sniveling
pale fifth-rate
imitation of a third-rate songwriter
seeking to be put
out of my misery"

I've already dated and broke up with the seven women here
Not a full set of teeth even combined
They love to do line dances and they named one for me
They do the Teeny Weenie Singer all the time

I wouldn't know love if I got it on my shoes
Though I've properly stepped in it somewhere
I've been hurt in love so much that it almost feels
Like my heart's been wearing wedgie underwear

Chorus

I don't like my job and the wages are low
But the haters, they make me feel like I belong
The song they hate the most is the one I play
Over and over all night long

Chorus

Chorus

LOL!! I'd say you're first rate at being an "abject sniveling pale fifth-rate imitation of a third-rate songwriter seeking to be put out of my misery." Great sense of humor. Wow, you really held that last note.

D'uh. Oh yes. Yes. LOL. What a pretty, pretty vocal performance. You're a funny man, Beeelly Seelly. And I gotta be agree with my fellow Battlestar fan down there - "I wouldn't know love if I got it on my shoes, Though I've properly stepped in it somewhere" is for the win.

*LAUGH* I love the voice you're using. We should have wailey wailey songs! That would be fun! And country is the perfect for that! Er... not that I'm trying to peg a whole genre.

Anyway, I realized I haven't commented on any of your songs. I think. I thought I did one. But I can't remember which one. And you have WACKS of them.

And the sad thing is, I'm not up on my commenting powers this year. So you will have to forgive me because I won't be able to... "Wedgie Underwear". Hah.

Er, where was I. Oh yes, I won't be able to comment on all your songs this year. I will try and listen and comment to what I can. "Over and Over". Oh... you should have done that part for like a minute. I would have laughed.

This reminds me of another challenge. I should post this on the forum. Sing in the style of another FAWMER! How much fun would that be? Oh dear, I have to try it. Maybe I'll sing in the style of Billy Sea! That would be so much fun! Except I can't play the guitar. Darn it.

This is hilarious. And the line "I wouldn't know love if I got it on my shoes, and I probably stepped on it somewhere" is fracking awesome.

This is killer. The chorus makes me laugh so hard I hurt. Just the way I was feeling today
The deadpan delivery is so much fun!

first-rate job at entertaining the masses with misery. awesome.

Billy, this is so good it'd be like stealing for me to claim any part of it. Stick the chorus in inverted commas and you can get away with anything. I won't mention it to my PRO!

WOW. I only just saw your comment in the forums a few minutes ago on this.

These lines crack me up:
"I wouldn't know love if I got it on my shoes
Though I've properly stepped in it somewhere
I've been hurt in love so much that it almost feels
Like my heart's been wearing wedgie underwear"

Nice.
