This song is a cover of one of the best Quebec punk band from the 1990s in our opinion: Sprained Ankle. We recorded this song for the Punk Canada 2 compilation earlier this summer.
lyrics
SHE GOT SHORT BLACK HAIR, A HUGE BIG PAIR
I HOPE THE ONE SHE’S LOOKING AT IS ME
I’LL SHOW HER WHY I’M A PARTY GUY AND WHY I DON’T LIKE BEING ASKED WHY
IN THE BASEMENT WE’LL HIDE WHILE THE BOYFRIEND SAYS HI
WE’LL DRINK A SHOT UNTIL WE GET HOT
YOU’LL TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF WHILE I TAKE OFF MY HAT
AND THEN THERE’LL BE NO TURNING BACK
YOU KNOW THAT GUY HE WAS IN MTX, HE REALLY TURNED ON THE OPPOSITE SEX
I HOPED I WAS HIM TO MAKE YOU SCREAM
YOU AND ALL THE GIRLS FROM OF THE SWIMMING TEAM
J-O-N-V-O-N... I WISH I WAS JON VON
I’M ALONE IN MY BED, I’VE BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD
I DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS A HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP
I’M GONNA GET READY FOR THE TITLE BOUT
LISTENING TO THE SUPERCHARGERS’ KNOCKOUT
ON THE MAIN STREET WE FOUGHT, WHILE THE GIRLFRIEND SCREAMED “STOP!”
I GAVE HIM PUNCHES BEFORE SHE CALLED THE COPS
I SAID “BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY LET GO, IN 2 MINUTES WE’LL MEET IN MY GTO
SHE DIDN’T SEEM TO BOTHER ABOUT ME AND DIDN’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHO I MIGHT BE
ONE THING IS SURE SHE KNEW I WASN’T HIM
LIKE IF BEING SOMEONE ELSE WAS CONSIDERED A SIN
