Originally meant for a CD for PledgeMusic funders, the band changed the release of this acoustic album to be digital due to time and cost limitations. Appropriately titled “First Song”, it includes names of pledgers who funded the “Lunch. Drunk. Love” campaign.
This is the first song on the acoustic album
It was originally supposed to be on a CD
And so a bunch of people got real mad at me
When we shipped "Lunch. Drunk. Love." and announced that we were putting this thing out digitally
I didn't really think it would be that big of a deal
I don't even own a CD player, and I likely never will
Because Steve Jobs invented the iPod, so I vote we blame him
I always wanted a pet German Shepherd
And I would totally name her "Jim"
And I'm happy that you'rе listening because
This is thе acoustic album
That almost never was
[?] folks gave us money
To put your name in this song
[?] and bought this shit for himself
Scott Clementson made me a mini version of my guitar and a [?]
Wrote my name of a bunch and sold them on this pledge
Amy Clem is mentioned in more songs than my brother, so he gets mad
Jaiden & Jagger Smith you have a really really awesome dad
[?] is a Texas girl from a town they call Euless
[?] you want me to call [?]
[?] has the coolest name ever and her dad is named Andrew
Max Harris wants me to give him a Bowling For Soup tattoo
I didn't show him [?]'s living room with my other band
Not sure if I'm pronouncing [?] right but I'm sure she understands
And Jake Barer wanted me to tell his wife Joey "happy anniversary"
And this song doesn't have a chorus, and did you know you can burn a CD, yourself, in a computer
And I think now would be a good time for us to get on with the rest of the album cause this is getting ridiculous
(Enjoy! Thank you pledgers!)
First Song was written by Jaret Ray Reddick.
Bowling for Soup released First Song on Tue Jan 01 2013.
