Dean Ween:
ok, so we lived at the pod. our landlord was a young guy who didn’t deserve the torture of having us a his first ever tenants. him and his new wife had dreams of owning a beautiful horse farm with a nice little carriage house with some nice couple living there. instead he got me and aaron, i was the first one to answer the ad/listing. after one month we were still on time w/the rent money. this would be the last time he got rent for like, the next 8 months. we were recording this “song” at top fucking volume and we caused him to meltdown and bang on our door, rudely interrupting our “art”. i told him we’d have his money next week and he was screaming “DON’T YANK ME MICKEY, JUST DON’T FUCKIN’ YANK ME” and I was so high I thought he said something about pyramids but I was really high. so we resumed recording when he left and Aaron sang “don’t yank me u fucker, i’ll take u back to your pyramids” and it’s even funnier now than it was then. nice find.
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Remember being reborn again?
I was back in the pyramids with you, fucker
Don't yank me
Remember little Frankie?
Frankie?
Frankie always says you were a fucker, don't yank me
Even Jan says you was a fucker
She liked you
Don't yank me, fucker
I'll take you back to the pyramids
Back to when your mama seed wasn't born yet
