About

A sarcastic, fatalistic song in the vein of R.E.M.’s “It’s the End of the World as We Know It,” “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish” laments modern materialism, and using coded lyrical references, the song also pays tribute to pop culture icons who passed away in 2016.

The title is a reference to...

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks, and apps, and flags
And plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom
Ali, and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call in all its atomic pageantry

[Chorus]
Bravissimo, hip, hip, hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

[Post-Chorus]
Ticker-tape parade
Our hair and skin
Like Marilyn Monroe
In an afterwind

[Verse 2]
Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On politicians, fancy water, and guns
And plastic surgery
Like our Prince and Reenie's mom
All the dolphins have moved on
Signaling the final curtain call in all its atomic pageantry

[Chorus]
Bravissimo, hip, hip, hooray
What a glorious display
Melt our joyous hearts away
Under the mushroom cloud confetti
A hip, hip, hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

[Chorus]
Hip, hip, hooray
Hip, hip, hooray
Ticker-tape parade
Our hair and skin
Like Marilyn Monroe
In an afterwind

[Verse 3]
Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks, and apps, and flags
And plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom
Ali, and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call in all its atomic pageantry
