#427. Bad Playstation

As a little kid, I played Pong, Atari and some crap space landing simulation on a Commodore Vic 20.  And as a teenager, I used to play the arcade games.  All the classics.  Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Joust.  And my favorites --- Asteroids, Frogger, Birdie King.  So glad I grew out of that phase and replaced it with a more "manly" selection of arcade games.  That being foosball and dome hockey.

I don't have much sympathy for the video gaming lifestyle.  Seriously, get a fucking life and go outdoors.  Even maybe head to Bed Bath & Beyond and buy a loofah or something.  Smoke a cigarette.  Get tortured and killed by a cop.  Anything.

Just don't sit there in a recliner pressing buttons.  Wow, you made it to level 17 and nearly acquired the platinum goblet... armed with only a super soaker and a tree branch.  Wow, you totally obliterated some 14 year old Mormon kid named Gavin in Provo, Utah... and then trash talked him to the point of tears.  Yeah, the whole video gaming industry just doesn't do it for me.

Bad PlayStation

I-I hate the cultural lack of care
And the way it interferes with Christian prayer
You can’t get with the pretty girls
Masturbate and shoot your semen anywhere

I'm playin’ the bad PlayStation
It’s lowering expectations (Oom bop bop)
I'm playin’ the bad PlayStation (oom bop bop, bad PlayStation)
It’s lowering expectations (oom bop, bop expectations)
Bad, bad, bad, baaad PlayStation (oom bop, bop)
It’s lowering expectations (oom bop, bop expectations)
Bad, bad, bad, baaad PlayStation (oom bop, bop)
It’s lowering expectations (ooh bop, bop, expectations)

Humanize, go outside anyhow
All the while, you’re losing your own mind
When a part of you dies
You don’t see it in your gaming world

I'm playin’ the bad PlayStation
It’s lowering expectations (Oom bop bop)
I'm playin’ the bad PlayStation (oom bop bop, bad PlayStation)
It’s lowering expectations (oom bop, bop expectations)
Bad, bad, bad, baaad PlayStation (oom bop, bop)
It’s lowering expectations (oom bop, bop expectations)
Bad, bad, bad, baaad PlayStation (oom bop, bop)
It’s lowering expectations (ooh bop, bop, expectations)

(Butt)
(Butt, more more, a sensation)
And I don’t care but it’s truth or dare
(Butt more, more, the information)
(Butt more, more, the sensation)
(Butt, more, more, fuck)

Gotta play that hatin’ bad PlayStation
Gotta play that hatin’ bad PlayStation the fattening’s impure
Gotta play that hatin’ bad PlayStation the fattening’s

(Ahh)

Bad, bad, bad, baaad PlayStation (Oom bop, bop)
(I'm playin’ the bad PlayStation) (Oom bop bop)
It’s lowering expectations (Expectations, oom bop bop)
Bad, bad, bad, baaad PlayStation

Do do do do do, do do do (Bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do do do do do, do do do (Bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)

Good Vibrations
The Beach Boys

I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations)

Close my eyes, she's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations)

(Ahh)
(Ah, my my, what elation)
I don't know where but she sends me there
(Oh, my my, what a sensation)
(Oh, my my, what elation)
(Oh, my my, what)

Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin'

(Ahh)

Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
(I'm pickin' up good vibrations) (Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations

Na na na na na, na na na
Na na na na na, na na na (Bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do do do do do, do do do (Bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do do do do do, do do do (Bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)

The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

In terms of national recording artists, The Beach Boys have played Pittsburgh more often than any band I know of.  49 times.  Whew!  I think I saw them open for Chicago at Star Lake one time back in the late 90's.  But I may have been on acid and it was probably some kind of cabana wearing Jimmy Buffett crowd along with a Sha Na Na cover band in the parking lot.  Please forgive the confusion.
