This song is about the Irish band The Thrills, who write 60’s-style Beach Boys inspired indie rock, with many songs about California, including this great song “Big Sur”
Dustin is making fun of their California fetish, since they’re actually from an area south of Dublin, just inland of Dún Laoghair...
[Chorus]
They're from Stillorgan and they call themselves The Thrills
They seem to think they're from the Hollywood Hills
They say boulevard when they know it's a road
Stillorgan 90210 is their postcode
[Verse 1]
They got their good vibrations on the 46A
And now they drive to Venice Beach in their shiny Chevrolet
They used to go to Stillorgan Park and Leisureplex
But now they hang with LA chicks who wear shells around their necks
When they come back to Ireland they ask for a soda in Supermac's
And walk around like tourists wearing bright red fanny packs
They call O'Connell Street downtown and drive on the freeway
Come on, lads, you know full well it's a dual carriageway
[Chorus]
They're from Stillorgan and they call themselves The Thrills
They seem to think they're from the Hollywood Hills
They say boulevard when they know it's a road
Stillorgan 90210 is their postcode
[Verse 2]
They used to bring their surfboards down to Dollymount Strand
But now them days are gone and they're a Californian band
They sing about Santa Cruz and American shopping malls
What's wrong with Stillorgan shopping centre? Sure it's got it all
Lads you're bound to know you're from the Emerald Isle
You should think about the shamrocks and the leprechauny style
You dress like you're in the OC and your name is Brad or Chuck
And even when you're in Bewley's you're still trying to pay in bucks
[Chorus]
They're from Stillorgan and they call themselves The Thrills
They seem to think they're from those Hollywood Hills
They say boulevard when they know it's a road
Stillorgan 90210 is their postcode
[Bridge: Spoken]
C'mon fellas will ya leave it to the Beach Boys
Here! Any chance you could do a duet with me for me new album
It's called Burpin' USA! Heh heh!
The Thrills? What? Where'd ye get that name?
There's more thrills in an episode of Fair City than there is in one of your songs
I bet I get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame before you do
[Chorus]
They're from Stillorgan and they call themselves The Thrills
They seem to think they're from the Hollywood Hills
They say boulevard when they know it's a road
Stillorgan 90210 is their postcode
They're from Stillorgan and they call themselves The Thrills
They seem to think they're from those Hollywood Hills
They say boulevard when they know it's a road
Stillorgan 90210 is their postcode
[Outro: Spoken]
Ah the Irish Beach Boys, eh?
Could you not get decent jobs like work in a pet shop? Or Pet Sounds? Heh heh heh!
Are Tallafornia girls not good enough for ya? Tallafornia!
Get your hair cut! Have ye never heard of a barber? Ye southsiders
"Oh Daddy will get me a job" "Daddy paid for the record"
"Daddy has a studio"
I'll tell ya what. Come over to the Northside and I'll give ye your car back. Heh heh heh!
Soda and bucks and slacks
What're ya like?
