Liner Notes
Lyrics
Sad Sonny was watching Bad Bunny On the Halftime Show He was two Bush-Lites in And four tokes over the line Thought it might be a good time To tell Social Media what was on his mind What was on his mind What was on his mind What was on his mind
He giggled to himself as he posted "I should have taken Spanish in school" That's pretty funny The rumor I heard Was that he couldn't even tackle the English But whose to say? Whose to say?
Sad Sonny was watching Bad Bunny On the Halftime Show He put his feelings out there Out on Social Media So we could see exactly how he feel He didn't understand the utility poles The power lines, it didn't make sense to him
He pleaded with the masses "Can you tell me, what does this all mean? "If we would have spoke in American maybe I would had liked it"
Sad Sonny was a motherfucker on that lead guitar I saw him play the Scorpions and Randy Rhoads He was like Michael Schenker meets Randy Rhoads meets Jimmy Page He could crank on that thing
I hadn't seen Sad Sonny for many years And I was putting together a band And I remember he was pretty good He was from the old neighborhood Be kind of fun to meet up again So I said "What kind of music You been listening to lately?"
And he said "Not that much, just the old stuff Ahhh, actually, uh, I heard that new Hagar album was pretty good Have you heard it?
I just got quiet and walked way from the phone And walked away from America for a while And, I just need a break, you know? I just can't stand listening to and reading the comments From the kid in the back of the class Who never knew shit And now, he's got a megaphone

Joe, I LOL'd when i first read these lyrics. but was even better upon listening. It is amazing how ugly the comments can get from some ugly Americans. Especially over cultural things that don't have that much stakes. I like the statement you make here. Sad Sonny sadly is not alone. At least the red necks had their own half time show, but nobody i know had to suffer through it. I love the trippy atmospheric stuff you had going here. It adds to the nonsense in a good way!

There are way too many Sad Sonny's out there. Believing every last conspiracy theory and whatever idiotic lie that comes their way. This was fun to listen to. I was digging the instrumental intro and was trying to take a guess at what you’d do to put a melody to it. Your approach was a total surprise that works really well. Great humorous lyrics that have some bite to them. Love how creative this is. I’m going to be thinking of Sad Sonny and Bad Bunny for a while. Nice Hagar dig too. Just listened to it again on headphones (usually do)….even better! Love the little touches in the mix. And don’t hire him as an extra guitar player unless at one point in the show you make him wear a dunce cap center stage while the rest of the band plays this song.
