Jeff: Here’s another video of a song from the MCQ gig at the Boulder Fringe Festival last month. This is “Big Dog,” which, if you recall, is song #29 in our countdown of the year’s best 52 songs (All of a sudden, I feel like Kasey Kasem!). Anyway, we took that song and turned it into our 1980s themed song for the show, so any resemblances to Devo, living or dead, are purely on purpose. Actually, it sounds more like a Kraftwerk song, but it looks like a Devo song. And yes, we are wearing bathrobes and showing our Big Dogs to the audience. See what you miss when you skip an MCQ show? Enjoy. Next week, you’ll learn how to properly use Nutella.
Lyrics:
When it’s Friday and you’re lonely and confused
You’re walking the city streets bemused
All you’re wearing is a trench coat London Fog
What you gonna do? You’re gonna show ‘em the Big Dog
When it’s Saturday night and it’s very late
You walking through the mall looking for a date
All you’re wearing is a trench coat London Fog
What you gonna do? You’re gonna show ‘em the Big Dog
Woof woof, woof woof
Keep the Big Dog inside until you see a pretty girl
Then it’s the Big Dog that you should unfurl
I got a feeling she’ll take the Big Dog for a stroll
As long as she doesn’t call animal control
When you’re out with a girl, somebody you just met
You think she might be looking for something to pet
All you’re wearing is a trench coat London Fog
What you gonna do? You’re gonna show her the Big Dog
When you’re at your job and your boss is being a dick
He’s hanging with the guy he promoted over you, he made the wrong pick
All you’re wearing is a trench coat London Fog
What you gonna do? You’re gonna show ‘em the Big Dog
Keep the Dog inside until you see a pretty girl
Then it’s the Big Dog that you should unfurl
I got a feeling she’ll take the Big Dog for a stroll
As long as she doesn’t call animal control
