I’m sure many of you have been as frustrated as I’ve been with all those shady Web sites that promise song lyrics and deliver spyware in return. Well, according to today’s WSJ, Yahoo Music is actually serving up publisher-approved, artist-sanctioned lyrics, spyware-free. The trade-off? You can’t copy them! WTF?!
Anyhow, this further bit of the-music-industry-isn’t-being-killed-by-the-internet-it’s-stupid’ing-itself-to-death news isn’t really the point. The point is, I have now read the official lyrics to ZZ Top’s “10 Foot Pole,” and they do not disappoint. In the interest of screwing The Man, I’m transcribing them here for all future generations:
10-Foot Pole
Tidify da, sinmah gough dah hep haing ding fum gogamamo
Stry da fings thadd awondt oont do butt any il thang thad a wondt meeto
Shees my nurirng my nu esit seten’ ra mind at a ros reshoo

Hmm, I wouldn’t touch her with a ten foot pole
I wouldn’t touch her with a ten foot pole
You just don’t know what shape I’m in
