DAK DAK DAK DAK DAK…
[BOOMPA-DOOMPA]
YAK DAK DAK DAK DAK…
“I walked along the avenue.
I never thought I’d meet a girl like ee-you a-hoo;
Meet a girl like ee-you-a-hoo.
[Thoomp-Cha! Thoomp-Cha!]
“With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through-a-hoo;
Hypnotize me through…”
“And when diplomacy has been exhausted,
The Security Council must become involved so far away.
And when diplomacy has been exhausted,
The Security Council must be involved both night and day.
I couldn’t get away.”

What does it mean?!
I do not know.
I’ll tell you what it means: It means it’s the motherfucking apocalypse.
Stock up on food, water and ammo kids, it’s the end of the world for sure.
ah, you know… drones in 45 minutes, the next whatever-it-was to be a mushroom cloud, yadda yadda yadda. Oh, yes, and mobile weapons labs! Don’t forget them!
Even worse than that! It means another Flock of Seagulls reunion! The horror!
Sorry, who are those “people”?
They are Flock of Seagulls a one-hit-wonder new wave band with fascinating hair.
Unfair! They had, like, 2 1/2 hits!
OK Gavin, I’ll give you 2 3/16 hits but won’t give an inch more.
2 and 5/32nds, and not a fraction more!
Okay wait…
“I Ran”
“Space Age Love Song”
…and that “If I Had a Photograph of You” song.
How does that fraction out?

How does that fraction out?
Like this:
One hit.
(Ooh, snap!)
One and a half hits, plus a wild ‘do on the lead singer. It looked something like a blonde raingutter. IIRC, the lead singer and one other band member were hairstylists. Who woulda thunk?
I love the delay pedal effect, especially when it begins with “yak”.
