Crazy As Hell Can't Ya Tell
© words and music by C. Stewart Jan. 5, 2007 )
A floating room without a door
Insanity is near
Lots of time to figure out
How I got in here
Perhaps I floated through the vent
Magically got thin
In smokey rings of lavender
Each episoide begins
Chorus..
I'm crazy as hell, can't ya tell that I'm nuts
Three legged pigeons fly out of my butt
My brain cells fell into the wishing well
I'm crazy as hell, can't ya tell
I'm crazy as hell, can't ya tell
Nineteen and a half of my
Twenty screws are loose
Somewhere back in time I must have
Drank electric juice
Crystal dream that never ends
Eyeballs poppin' out
I've got Mr.Microphone, but
No one hears me shout
Chorus..
I'm crazy as hell, can't ya tell that I'm nuts
Three legged pigeons fly out of my butt
My brain cells fell into the wishing well
I'm crazy as hell, can't ya tell
I'm crazy as hell, can't ya tell
Bridge..
If you get thin, come on in
You can be just like me
Chorus..
I'm crazy as hell, can't ya tell that I'm nuts
Three legged pigeons fly out of my butt
My brain cells fell into the wishing well
I'm crazy as hell, can't ya tell
I'm crazy as hell, can't ya tell

Calvin, This is nothing short of brilliant. I think we all have this edge of insanity lurking within, we simply choose to share it sporadically & only in certain company.  My favorite line is I've got Mr.Microphone, but No one hears me shout I feel like this all the time. Like I'm just not being heard, no matter how insane what I say sounds. Nicely done. Bree

Seems like I've been in a place just like that - it really brings back flashs from the past. A very well written journey into insanity. I think I'm too not thin to get back there now.

Hello Bree, It's very hard to respond to the word brilliant. But thank you for your kind words. Glad you like the microphone line, this was a REAL fun song to write. You said-----I feel like this all the time. Like I'm just not being heard...JPF hears you. Have a great weekend.

"Is crazy man crazy."  This one is so very different I do not know what to say Calvin. Would be interested in hearing how you sing this one. Flowed well and there were no stumbles that I could find. Do a soundclip and send her my way. Douglas

This is stupid.... and I mean that in the best way possible. Nicely done. This reminds me of one of the "original songs" Weird Al puts on his albums. Fun stuff!

Don't you just love John Voorpostel's avatar? I don't care how nuts I am or how nuts I get, I don't pigeons flying out of my butt. I don't want to see them flying out of yours, either, Calvin. Lord, you're nuts.
"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek

Calvin - I'm never gonna get that stupid pigeon line out of my head today ... That is definitely an unforgettable hook. The delivery on the version you have posted on soundclick is way too straightforward. This needs a lunatic delivery ala Robin Williams, Jim Carey, Steve Martin. At least doubletime it for some frenetic energy!

Funny write, Cal. Thoroughly enjoyed it, though oddly, the line that seems most popular was the only one I was gonna proffer a change. The pigeons-butt line sounds too much like the , "When monkeys fly outta my butt" line that's been around for ages...or at least since "Wayne's World". I bet this was fun to write, and it comes through! Ben PS I'm crazy as hell, I'm truly looney tunes I share my cell with a purple baboon

HiDee Neighbor!
Glad t'see this Year's Hurricane Season has not affected ya much, Mentally, & you've had a Fun Christmas Shoppin' Season, too! ;-)>
I've heard "Preparation P" is good fer them Pigeons, yet never tried it.
Lots more Fun than "They're Coming to Take Me Away..Ha-ha"...& here's a New Year's "KUDOS" to start ya on The Road to Recovery.
Good Luck. With It, Amigo!
