The Style Selection

thatcrystal This EP has a song that feels like it's straight out of a Radiohead album, one of the catchiest pop songs I've ever heard (which doubles as an outlet for all of our Santa-banging related desires), actually good hyperpop, and one of the best musical-style songs I've ever heard. I love this podcast so much. Favorite track: Mr. 1981 & the Monolith Man.

I told you
that I was not horny for Santa
But I lied

Even things
That flail around in 1981
Can be dead inside Favorite track: Iridescent All Over.

shyguy_neo i absolutely LOVE the Saturday morning cartoon vibe the Mr. 1981 exudes, close second being Iridescent All Over with just THE MOST catchiest of chorus's. Favorite track: Mr. 1981 & the Monolith Man.

Hours go by There’s no one in sight My arms scrape the sky In the dwindling light The breath in my lungs Keeps rushing away It’s right on my tongue The words I can’t say Wish I knew Does fate have a plan for me? Flailing around on the side of the road Does God have a flan for me? Hungry for something that I’ve never known Just down the street A man twirls a sign The vision’s so fleeting Like what once was mine Across the four lanes We wiggled as one As much as it pains me I know that it’s done Wish I knew Does fate have a plan for me? Flailing around on the side of the road Does God have a flan for me? Hungry for something that I’ve never known

You know it’s hard to look at you The way you’re shining Cause your hair and your smile and your eyes Are sparkling, babe Going blind every time You look my way See you like starlings do Iridescent all over babe You’re my Christmas gift this year So deck the halls and spread the cheer And you know, I lose my cool, and my heart begins to race When I see you comb that snow-white beard When you’re done with all the gifts Deliver me a Christmas kiss I’ve been so nice, but don’t think twice, I think you’ll find after tonight I belong right on your naughty list Sleighbells ring, are you listenin’? Cause you certainly are glistenin' Tell the elves to go on home Cause tonight you’re mine alone You know it’s hard to look at you The way you’re shining Cause your hair and your smile and your eyes Are sparkling, babe Going blind every time You look my way See you like starlings do Iridescent all over babe Iridescent all over Don’t you think that suit’s a little tight? Why not slip out of that red and white? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, take the night off, cause I’m fixin’ To be Santa’s only ride tonight And it helps to know that you’re not broke Because you just signed a deal with Coke Buy me rings and jewels from Cartier, you'll be my Sugar Claus And I’ll make sure that your fire’s stoked Gotta tell you, Mr. Kringle I’m longing to make your bells jingle And if I play this hand just right This won’t be a silent night You know it’s hard to look at you The way you’re shining Cause your hair and your smile and your eyes Are sparkling, babe Going blind every time You look my way See you like starlings do Iridescent all over babe Iridescent all over

I’m CCing my boss on every email that I send I put a kiss emoji in the sign off at the end They can be about my work or just playing pretend I don’t mean to be mean but I do mean to condescend Just can’t wait to crack open a hot one with the boys Throwing back a lava lamp is one of life’s great joys I really hate that people only think of them as toys Feel the glow, tetrachlo', then we make a lot of noise. I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied Even things that look like boogers are complex inside I didn’t do the homework but I had a special plan I told my teacher that I spent all morning on the can The best thing you can do if you don’t want to go to school Is make up an excuse about a problematic stool I’m gonna do the things I want in 2021 I’ll watch Fern Gully thirty times on TNT reruns Leave 2020 in the dust and have a lot of fun I’ll finally become cool in the eyes of my stepson I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied Even things that look like boogers are complex inside

Rowdy Rita, Rowdy Rita’s late again Her time is almost gone Minutes fly by, clouds roll on, I see the end Of a day kept from the sun Rowdy Rita, Rowdy Rita’s on the trail She’s famed as the rambling queen In the classroom, someone asks, to no avail “Can we leave if it hits two fifteen?” Rita's rambling on Eating her shrimp cocktails out in the sun Tried to reach her, but if teacher doesn’t show It is safe to say our day is done Like the north wind, Rita storms in, books in hand She’s got a lesson in mind We see our shot, “Say, teach, a thought: We don’t understand How’d you end up so behind?” Rowdy Rita, Rowdy Rita, can’t resist Spinning a wondrous thread Bus cuisine, the sights she’s seen, we get the gist But she’s rambling full steam ahead Rita's rambling on The hands of the clock show the day is near gone Then the bell rings, packing our things, we give thanks For ol’ Rita, the best substitute Ol’ Rita, the best substitute

Mr. 1981 A hero so tall, he could block out the sun His lats spread wide like wings, so watch him fly He’s a daddy to all, but a father to one Strives to be great in the eyes of his son But Monolith Man won’t stop, cause he’s a bad guy Just watch him try Just watch him try! It’s time for Mr. 1981 To face off against foes of every size There will be a great fight before we’re done But will he win? That’s a surprise! From the rings of the circus, he arose Boasting physical strength and also brains How to be a great dad is what he knows But the rest of his story still remains 1981 1981 This clash of titans determines the fate Of the world as we know it, as nineteen-eight- -y-two approaches, now the year’s going by Both dad-ing and fighting, there’s a lot on his plate Then Mom appears to help carry the weight When they’re together, nothing can go awry Just watch ‘em try Just watch ‘em try! Mr. and Mrs. 1981 They face off against foes of every size There will be a great fight before we’re done But will they win? That’s a surprise! From the rings of the circus, they arose Boasting physical strength and also brains Parenting skills are what they know But the rest of their story still remains 1981 1981
