Gym Class Heroes

I'm I late, or what?

I really do enjoy the whole rap/rock genres intertwining. I wish that was done with more types of music. Like country/pop. Wait, doesn't Taylor Swift already do that? Well, I'm just saying, two is better than one, right?

Anyway, I really enjoyed the song Taxi Driver by GCH. The many references to bands in this song alone is really cool. I was really excited that they mentioned Death Cab for Cutie AND the Postal Service. No wonder Ben Gibbard loves this song. He's all over it.

So I changed the lyrics a bit so I can sing it, or rap it...

I took CUTIE FOR a ride in my DEATH CAB
He tipped me with a hug, I dropped him off at the next cab
Before he left, he made a DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL
And spilled his guts in CURSIVE

But what's worse is
I can still see his BRIGHT EYES like SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE
Oh my, and the funny way the ceiling tastes
So high, but no chance,
MY little CHEMICAL ROMANCE left a BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH

But I approached him like, 'hey Marcus, why the long face
Why you cryin? No need
Just put on this COHEED and FALL OUT...
BOY MEETS GIRL, JIMMY EAT WORLD
But schlep eats pills 'til he's all out

Not once, not twice, he was THRICE times a man
Acting all BRAND NEW but I had to
Bounce over to the POSTAL SERVICES to
Pick up these pills to take care of my nervousness and

On the way I saw PLANES and MISTOOK 'em for STARS
He played games but he took 'em too far
AT THE DRIVE IN eating some corn
And you could tell by the TRAIL OF THE DEAD that there was something in the popcorn

Hopped in my cab destination MIDTOWN
Just to GET UP with some KIDS that like to get down
I made my rounds and that was that
In between the frowns and scraps and heart attacks

And I remember, I seen his face in EARLY NOVEMBER
On a THURSDAY, TAKING BACK SUNDAY for a refund
He shot a wink like 'No hard feelings'
Then he jetted to Brazil, man, them pills had me spun

Yea it's the story of the year right here
This is HOT WATER MUSIC, just rhymin' to it
