Heard this song yesterday in the car -- and although it goes on far too long, there is one portion that I REALLY like singing at the top of my lungs, realizing, the whole time, how ridiculous the lyrics are (fast forward to 5:50 on this youtube video):
Girl : Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it a little less cold?
Boy : I can do that! I can do that!
Girl : Will you hold me sacred?
will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it a little less old?
Boy : I can do that! I can do that!
Girl : Will you make me some magic, with your own two hands?
Can you build an Emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something that I can take home?
Boy : I can do that! I can do that!
Girl : Will you cater to every fantasy that I've got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot?
Will you take me to places that I've never known?
Boy : I can do that! I can do that!
Girl : After a while you'll forget everything,
It was a brief interlude, And a midsummer night's fling,
And you'll see that it's time to move on.
Boy : I wont do that! I won't do that!
Girl : I know the territory - I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down,
And sooner or later you'll be screwing around.
Boy : I won't do that! I won't do that!
My absolute favorite ridiculous lyric/secret (and now not-so-secret) desire is the "hose me down with holy water if I get too hot." Too funny. The video is pretty ridiculous too, and I think the best way to enjoy that is with this literal video version, where some clever person has narrated the video to the tune of the song by describing what is happening in the video rather than singing the original lyrics. It is hilarious! One of my favorite lines from this version: "But I can't watch my TV because fake lesbians are being so loud back there."
Enjoy!
