Bill sang and played guitar, bass, hand claps, stainless steel colander, the back of a mandolin, and banged his fist on the side of a wooden desk.

Story behind the song
From bad idea to recorded to first mix in just a few hours, though I did go back and tweak the mix a bit.
Lyrics
It's hard being so brilliant when everyone's so dumb I'm up here spouting knowledge while you're suckin' on your thumbs Being near you morons well it makes my head hurt That's why I'm so famous while you're living in a yurt But if you work real hard and drive a Beemer like me I'll still be better than you just because I'm on TV Baaaa They gave me a reality show 'bout all the ass I kick Being nice doesn't pay the bills so I'm the worlds biggest prick It's too bad you're so ugly and such a loser too I party in my mansion every night while the tabloids come and shoot Now I pay some guy to tell me I'm the best there's ever been And these chicks don't even mind I'm sleeping with all of their friends Baaaaa So keep on buying all my crap I'll sell you anything ugly shirts and a custom yurt and mp3s where I try to sing So hard being so damn brilliant You'll never be cool as me Just empty headed bimbos chasing fads from MTV But it's YOU that says I matter and your fault I'm so ubiquitous And when you finally do get bored I'll still have all your cash and... stuff Be sure to watch the next episode

Amazing how we can find some great sounds by banging or plucking various things ;) Reminded me some of The Cars in a humorous way. Cool toon!

I first read the lyrics, then listened to the music Bill!! It was not wrong, because I completely agree with the politic message you meant in your song! Well chosen music to the lyrics ( the focus is in the message ), and the vocals outlined the ironics/sarcastic sense in it! As always so much creativity in the way you played/performed the various instruments ( and even a wooden desk...).... Yeah! :D A smile on my face Bill, well done.
