The Perfect Cut (Good as Gold)

Oh my gosh!
What a coincidence
This happens to be in style
(Perfect cut)

(No wonder it works so well)
They don't understand the fragmentation
They could be still making a lot of records and a lot of money for the record companies in 1992, that’s what we've been talking about, who is going to be
(Number one)
Another [?], who will be around
(Number one)
Seven years from now
(Number one, number one, number one...)

The top vote-getter, Forbes, to be a superstar in 1992 is Bruce Springsteen, they feel he'll be around and not burn out
Prince, following close behind, although some people wonder whether he will maybe get a win and decide not to be in the record business
Michael Jackson was still the third top vote-getter to be around with us in 1992
(Dean Martin) Lionel Richie is fourth
(KISS) U2, fifth
(Olivia Newton-John) Brian Adams, followed by
(Pink Floyd) Talking Heads
(Police) Sting
(Eurythmics) Eurythmics
(Eurythmics, Eurythmics...)

You know who I mean, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, ZZ Top, Dire Straits, [?] Phil Collins, Wham, Lone Justice, David Boo-wie, John Lennon, and Madonna
(Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, ZZ Top, Michael Sembello, Phil Collins, Wham, Van Halen, [?])

Well, it’s become a very big business and they're a small company, Sue, that's fragmented, but I think that, yes, it's a very big business, listen:
I got permanently pressed hangups over you
Whatcha doin, old-timer?
Singin', can't you tell?
But you're only interested in gold!
That's why I’m singin’, goin' after a gold record!
Try Nucoa Margagine
How’s it go?
Nucoa's good as gold, for very little silver
It'll never sell
Sure will! Nucoa tastes like butter and costs less than the other fancy margarines
Nice tune, but you can't dance to that

(Fragmentation, fragmentation, fragmentation...)
They don’t understand the fragmentation
The record industry alone is twelve billion dollars a year worldwide, and America gets five billion of that
(Perfect cut, perfect cut, perfect cut...)
Another perfect cut
(Standardization, standardization, standardization...)
(Repeated umpteen times before)
(repeated umpteen times before)
(Repeated umpteen times before...)

I mean, it's big, big business
I mean, it's big, big business
