Subject: 7 5 8 Bouncing Music Go??!

Written By: 7CW on 03/22/05 at 2:33 pm

In the Chevy Trailblazer commercial, there is a song by The Friggs called "Bad Word for a Good Thing".  I've got the song.  The song is easy to find; it's also on the "Jawbreaker" soundtrack.  The lyrics, however, are not.   :(

If someone could help me out with the lyrics, I'd be ever so grateful.  I'm pretty sure that "Nana go hachi, bouncing music go" aren't in the words to the song, but that's the best I could get from hearing the song.

Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi.  You're my only hope.

That's weird - sounds like the half-Japanese stuff could be difficult to figure out just by listening...

Well, it's not that I think those are the words... that's just what that part of the song sounds like to me.  Of course, you have to take into account the amount of Japanese I hear on a daily basis.  I don't think there's actually any Japanese in the song.

I listened to it over and over and over and.... Some of the words are hard to make out.  I put a question mark next to the ones I'm not sure about.  Anyway, this is my best guess.

Down on lover's lane, about 10 years ago,
I was looking for a thing(?) I didn't know.
I asked a friend about it.  She said, "You must be strange."
She say, "You know about, but by a different name."

It's just a bad (bad) word (word)
for a good (good) thing.
It's just a bad (bad) word (word)
for a good (good) thing.
For a good, good thing.

Saw the fortune-teller up on 4th and Vine,
She wouldn't sell me a dose of potion number nine
I went to see the Gypsy, had my fortune read,
She looked in to her crystal ball and this is what she said..

I see a bad (bad) word (word)
for a good (good) thing.
I see a bad (bad) word (word)
for a good (good) thing.
For a good, good thing.

Climbed the highest mountain,
Walked the wildest(?) street (?),
Won't somebody tell me, can't somebody see?
Going through the valley, going through the swamp,
Won't somebody tell me where I can get me some?

I need a bad (bad) word (word)
for a good (good) thing.
I need a bad (bad) bad (word)
for a good (good) thing.
For a good, good thing.

Bad, bad word
for a good, good thing

Bad, bad word
for a good, good thing
