about

An imaginary attempt to impress an academic, throwing out everything from Kandinsky to Ulysses.

lyrics

let’s talk about Kandinsky
let’s talk about De Carte
let’s talk about the value of liberal arts
let’s talk about the problems
with the Russians and their views
baby I’ve just gotta have some social intercourse with you

let’s talk about the Bosnians
the Muslims and the Serbs
the Sunnis and the Shiites
and the Coptics and the Kurds
let’s talk about religion
and the things that god won’t do
baby I’ve just gotta have some social intercourse with you

let’s talk about the situation
you know I love adult education
let’s talk until there’s something else to do

let’s talk about technology
the things that we embrace
you can’t make contact on the web
you have to do it face to face
bandwidth’s overrated
but human touch is true
baby I’ve just gotta have some social intercourse with you

let’s talk about Ulysses
James Joyce was really smart
all that polylingual punning
what was your favorite part?
Molly Bloom’s soliloquy?
fancy that me too
baby I’ve just gotta have some social intercourse with you

let’s talk about the things that matter
I like engaging your grey matter
I like iambic pentameter, too

you’re intrigued by my huge concepts
I’m attracted to your verbs
let’s interact substantially and have a frank and fruitful interchange culminating in meaningful stimulating intercourse on a diverse slate of social economic scientific and artistic issues which showcase the rich complex multifaceted nature of our personalities and highlight that we are so much more than just these vessels
of flesh
in which we are encased

nice dress

but please don’t be suspicious
if the conversation VEERS
I only want to titillate
the stuff between your ears
if it’s mental masturbation
it’s way more fun with two
baby I’ve just gotta have some social intercourse with you

let’s talk about… architecture
the empire state building
the space needle
the Washington monument
the Eiffel tower
last tango in Paris
(god I loved that movie)
and that coffee table book that Madonna did I found it truly intriguing I never fully appreciated her depth as an artist before

uh…

I sense that you’re uneasy
Is it something that I said
why did you dump your fine expensive
meal on my head
I try to interact with women
but they’re such a mystery
why won’t anybody have some social intercourse with me
