I cant make out the lyrics part out of one part of this wonderful techno song “I wanna be a Hippy” by Technohead. After the singer sings “I wanna be a hippy and i want to get stoned,” what does he say after that? ---

Agh. I’d almost blocked out all memory of that song. Next thing someone will be asking the lyrics to _Poing_ by Rotterdam Termination Source. ---

DAMN you, Crusoe. It took most of 1993 to get **that** horrid tune out of my head. You think it was bad in the UK? Should have tried living in Holland, in a student dorm, in the early to mid 90’s. GAH!! ---

Dammit-it’s spelled “hippie”! “Hippy” refers to woman with big hips. Geez, kids these days…🙂 ---

I was hoping this was a plea for instructions! Here I was all ready to unleash my manifesto! * * * May the mediocrity of several greeting-card salesman inhabit your soul like unmatched buttons in a empty mayonaise jar. ---

Listen to the Beatles bootleg record _Live! At the Star-Club in Hamburg_. You can hear the Beatles performing “Hippy Hippy Shake.” How prescient they were without even knowing it.
