Blah blah blah...a catchy song about creeping intellect, big thoughts, house plants, and other silly things people talk about. From the "Sound the Alarm" EP.

The story behind the song is goofier than the song itself. Really.

Andy is questing for rapture.
Eric says that I’m his favorite houseplant.
Steve agreed that we are parallel.
Mr. Robbins wrote: the good ones do it because they have to.
Alec wants me to say it in my own words

So I say:
We should pour ourselves a little more wine.
And we’ll drink
To my health and your future wealth and the stealth with which the intellect creeps upon our unsuspecting rambling conversations...

Andy says an object is defined by what it isn’t.
My favorite redhead said: three three three.
And the girls agreed it’s way more fun to be uncool.
Alec wants us to get up and dance with our good taste.

So I say
We should pour ourselves a little more wine
And we’ll dance
With the demons we all know as trust and lust and...

And Tommie quoted Zabbadoo!
And Maggie yells at the moon

Andy said something about the paradox of art as its own reality but I didn’t quite follow.
Jimmy, like the others, is getting it together.
Our dear sweet Ian now speaks Russian.
Alec says it’s time to have some fun.

So I say
We should pour ourselves a little more wine
And we’ll enjoy
Each others’ company
We’ll talk about beauty harmony letting things happen naturally

...in other words...

Blah blah blah
Maggie goes la la la
