Song by Bran Van 3000<br /><br>

Hi, my name is Stereo Mike.<br>

Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert <br>

happening this Monday night at the Pacific Pallisades. <br>

You can all dial in if you want to answer <br>

a couple of questions, namely, <br>

what is Todd's favourite cheese. <br>

Jackie just called up and said it was a form of Roquefort. <br>

We'll see about that...<br>

Give us a ring-ding-ding! It's a beautiful day.<br>

Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-a-dinging, <br>

want those three Bran Van tickets man. Waddya think? <br>

Todd, you there?<br>

I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes,<br>

When Mike came over with a script surprise.<br>

A Mafioso story with a twist,<br>

A "Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar" hitch,<br>

Get your ass out of bed, he said:<br>

I'll explain it on the way.<br>

But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day, and I say:<br>

What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?<br>

I got the fever for the flavour, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.<br>

And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us,<br>

As we rode on the ten down to Venice again.<br>

Flaring out the G-Funk,<br>

Sipping on a juice and gin,<br>

Just me and a friend.<br>

Feeling kinda groovy,<br>

Working on a movie. (Yeah right!)<br>

But we did nothing, absolutely but kiss that day, and I say:<br>

What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?<br>

With my mind on my money and my money on my... Beer, beer!<br>

I know that life is for the taking, so I better wise up, and take it quick.<br>

Yeah, one more time at Trader Vic's.<br>

Some men there wanted to hurt us,<br>

And other men said we weren't worth the fuss.<br>

We could see them all bitching by the bar,<br>

About the fine line, between the rich and the poor.<br>

Then Mike turned to me and said:<br>

"What do you think we got done son?"<br>

We've got a conclusion, and I guess that's something, so I ask you:<br>

What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?<br>

I got the fever for the nectar, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.<br>

We need to fix you up, call me Monday and maybe we'll fix it all up.<br>

Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.! ...<br>

So I ask you:<br>

What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?<br>

Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.<br>

<br>
