Seattle Suxxx

A cover of a song by my good friend Dan Huff. This is from back when I played with a band called I Need Sleep.

My apologies to anyone from Seattle. I've never actually been there, and I didn't write this song. I just sang it.

That being said, here are the lyrics as originally penned by Mr. Huff:

In Seattle, there's a DJ
Who will never give us airplay
Even though she said she would, she wouldn't
Even if she could

And that's why Seattle sucks
And that phallic needle sucks
And everybody sucks
If you live there, then you suck

Well, they have the highest rate of suicide
And it isn't because it rains
And it isn't because it's gray
It's just because they suck

And that's why Seattle sucks (damn right)
And that phallic needle sucks (woo woo)
And everybody sucks
If you live there, then you suck

Well, some things, they grow better with age
And other things just grow bitter with age
But the people in Seattle never change
They suck no matter what

And that's why Seattle sucks (damn right)
And that phallic needle sucks (all right)
And everybody sucks
If you live there, then you suck
...live there, then you suck
...live there, then you suck
If you live there, then you suck

That was effing hilarious! I love the background vocals and the ending cowbell. This song could have sucked were it not for your awesome arrangement of it!

Haven't been to Seattle, so I can't agree or disagree, but I like the song a lot. It was perfect to get the week started at a proper pace. Thx for posting it, man.

self, wife, and friends excepted, why yes, that's right!

(actually, self-deprecation and/or civic deprecation is the national sport hereabouts, I think)

we suck.

I know that you mean that in a good way. Even tho Aquaman took it to heart too much!

Well, she won't give you airplay because you gave your money to Cube 93.
