Infinite Glitch - Davis, Verne: Infinite Glitch - the world's longest recorded pop song, by Chris Butler.

Lyrics

Sometimes you can fix something by building a machine
A mean machine to start world domination

Sometimes you can fix something by just eating a peach
The Allman Brothers help cure constipation

Sometimes you can fix something by cutting your band in half
And giving yourself more room for stage gyration

Sometimes you can fix something by putting up yellow tape
Protect the crime scene from contamination

Sometimes you can fix something by banging on a tree
But only in a Sasquatch habitation

Sometimes you can fix something by eating some beef jerky
And rousing up some Sasquatch irritation

Sometimes you can fix something by reading Sigmund Freud
And learning about the future of illusion

Sometimes you can fix something by quoting Sigmund Freud
A cigar says nothing about your protrusion

Sometimes you can fix something by just fetching a stick
When it’s dog-eat-dog a perfect occupation

Sometimes you can fix something by just calling in sick
Keep them guessing about your dedication

Sometimes you can fix something by just fixing a thing
Ain’t no need for crass specification

Sometimes you can fix something by just naming a thing
Some call it nominalization

Sometimes you can fix something by just taking a bath
Some lowly form of self-purification

Sometimes you can fix something by just skinning a cat
BeBop fans are into mutilation

Sometimes you can get fix something by getting a new tattoo
A drunken choice can show your dedication

Sometimes you can fix something by turning to channel two
And Get some gifts for making a donation

Sometimes you can fix something by just wearing a shirt
Slogans are a pure communication

Sometimes you can fix something by just drinking some wort
A brewer’s joke for your edification [Look it up!]

Sometimes you can fix something by just spinning your wheels
A gravel shower will get all their attention

Sometimes you can fix something by just cooling your heels
Give yourself some after-school detention

Sometimes you can fix something by stealing a good riff
Thumb your nose at legal litigation

Sometimes you can fix something by being a knif
And bastardize the real pronunciation

Sometimes you can fix something by being locked up in jail
A good defense in case of accusation

Sometimes you can fix something by getting out on bail
And avoiding any further penetration

Sometimes you can fix something by just being crude
But blame it on a lack of medication

Sometimes you can fix something by just being booed
And avoid all forms of pointless adulation

Sometimes you can fix something by throwing in your hat
As long as you don’t want the nomination

Sometimes you can fix something by just saying you’re fat
Admit your body’s an abomination

Sometimes you can fix something by going back to school
Make your mother proud at graduation

Sometimes you can fix something by stopping being cool
And being part of that de-evolution

Sometimes you can fix something by being too obscure
So join in the post-modern revolution

Sometimes you can fix something by just being a fool
And lowering all senseless expectations

Sometimes you can fix something by making a new rule
Like no stuttering while singing My Generation

Sometimes you can fix something by spanking your own ass
I don’t know why it’s just my own perversion

Sometimes you can fix something by just being an ass
And doing odd things to create a diversion

Sometimes you can fix something by not going on-line
Facebook can become a sad obsession

Sometimes you can fix something by just going on line
And selling all your most precious possessions

Sometimes you can fix something by just having a smoke
And bothering people with your self-destruction

Sometimes you can fix something by joining in a joke
And hoping you make the cut in the production

Sometimes you can fix something by just growing old
But not that cheerleader infatuation

Sometimes you can fix something by doing what you’re told
Restraining orders help resist cheerleader infatuation

Sometimes you can fix something by talking to yourself
But hope you don’t have a self-obsession

Sometimes you fix something by gaining a lot of wealth
A jet ski is a cure for most depression

Sometimes you can fix something by just getting ‘er done
Sleeveless shirts and ball cap fascination

Sometimes you can fix something by being number one
And showing your foam finger digitation

Sometimes you can fix something by eating your head
As long as you have proper marination

Sometimes you can fix something by eating all the dead
Geneva would love that strict regulation

Sometimes you can fix something by growing your own food
Though Organic is a silly designation

Sometimes you fix something by growing you own brood
Though nothing’s worse than reckless procreation

Sometimes you can fix something by writing a good line
But moon in June just lacks imagination

Sometimes you can fix something by just taking your time
Ignore all insults of procrastination

Sometimes you can fix something by just repeating a line
But moon in June just lacks imagination

Sometimes you can fix something by just repeating a line
Redundancy can prove imagination

Sometimes you fix something by just chanting a chant
And slip into a mystic transformation

Sometimes you can fix something by reading Emmanuel Kant
Though those Germans seemed to hate the Jewish nation

Sometimes you can fix something by wearing a spandex suit
A simple form of body modification

Sometimes you can fix something just taking a toot
Cocaine helped Californication

Sometimes you can fix something by just giving a hoot
Pollution is a global degradation

Sometimes you can fix something by taking off your pants
Randy Newman is a fucking genius

Sometimes you can fix something by just refusing to rhyme
Randy Newman is still a fucking genius

Sometimes you can fix something by turning your clocks back
Though DST is such a pointless mission

Sometimes you can fix something by just shutting up
Since DST is such a firm tradition

Sometime you can fix something by carrying all the weight
The world upon your shoulders shows conviction

Sometimes you can fix something by giving in to hate
And buying in to paranoid prediction

Sometimes you can fix something by blessing all the meek
The world will be their promised inheritance

Sometimes you fix something by acting like a geek
A chicken’s head will be make up your sustenance

Sometimes you can fix something by striking up a flame
Encores now will only need a cell phone

Sometimes you can fix something by taking on the blame
Nothing good will ever involve a cell phone

Sometimes you can fix something by driving in your car
Your mileage will predict your destination

Sometimes you can fix something by sleeping in your car
Some people claim it’s their habitation

Sometimes you can fix something by doing it in the road
The truth will help advance your reputation

Sometimes you can fix something by taking it all slow
Unless like me you hate blues-ification

Sometimes you can fix something by staying in 4/4
And saying no to cliché syncopation

Sometimes you can fix something by just seeing a shrink
And getting over all your sad fixations

Sometimes you can fix something by having another think
Why was Freud obsessed with cigars?

Sometimes you can fix something by coming to the end
Admit it’s just a fictionalization

Sometimes you can fix something by seriousing-up your voice
And waiting for some form of validation

Sometimes you fix something by just making a fist
Remembering the Kent assassinations

Sometimes you can fix something by reading off a list
Like all the 9/11 commemorations

Sometimes you can fix something by crying yourself to sleep
And hope you find sort of absolution

Sometimes you can fix something by pampering yourself
Pay attention to your morning abalutions

Sometime you can fix something by sitting on a fence
And hope that gravity will give direction

Sometimes you can fix something by shouting out a name
And hope that name will call up past affections

Sometimes you can fix something by just reading a book
I recommend Swami Vivekanda

Sometimes you can fix something by just getting a pet
Though I don’t recommend an anaconda

Sometimes you can fix something by looking out the window
Write a song without participation

Sometimes you can fix something by locking all your doors
But only if you’re hoping for stagnation

Sometimes you can fix something by staring at the wall
A blank screen can be an inspiration

Sometimes you can fix something by hearing the siren’s call
But only if you ignore their navigation

Sometimes you can fix something by saying enough’s enough
Like I’m saying now………….

The Story

-My goal in this hot mess was simply to try and get the feel of the original 'Devil Glitch' and run it into my own particular ground. I hadn't recorded anything in about two years when I began this, so I kind of went both over- and under-board. Many puns and personal jokes in everything, but nothing that is meant to be taken as anything but a bit of terminal fun with my tongue firmly in my cheek.
