THE RADIOACTIVE CHICKEN HEADS: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

At a number of concerts we've seen an opening band announce "this is our last song" which usually results in exclamations of "Finally!" or "Thank God!" from the audience. At more than one occasion, that opening band was us, so this is dedicated to all the struggling, inappropriate, or just plain annoying opening bands out there. In 2006, we played this song on the Tyra Banks Show to the acclaim (or dismay) of millions of television viewers.

THIS IS OUR LAST SONG

THE BAND THEY WANTED PASSED ON

THE SHOW SO THEY TOLD US WE COULD PLAY

BUT WE'VE OUTDONE OUR WELCOME

WE'D PLAY MORE SONGS AND TELL SOME

JOKES BUT HERE COMES THE CANE

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YOU'VE ALL BEEN GREAT

WE SHOULDA BROKE UP IN 1998

WE'D PROBABLY DO BETTER IN SOME OTHER STATE

OR MAYBE IN JAPAN

THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND

THIS IS OUR LAST SONG

I PROMISE YOU THAT SO

SOON WE'RE GETTIN' OUTTA HERE

MR. SOUNDMAN, DON'T BE NERVOUS

E WE KNOW YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS

DAMAGE WE'VE DONE TO YOUR EARS

NOW YOU CAN WATCH THE BANDS THAT YOUR REALLY CAME TO SEE

WE SHOULDA BROKE UP IN 1993

I SHOULDA STAYED HOME AND WATCHED TV

LIKE ONE OF THOSE SHOWS ABOUT UFO'S

THIS IS OUR LAST SONG

OUR "GET THIS OVER FAST" SONG

NOT THE BEST SONG WE EVER WROTE

THIS IS OUR LAST SONG

I PROMISE IT WON'T LAST LONG

'CAUSE THERE'S ONLY TWO MORE NOTES

THE END
