Yeah it looks like "fun total Wii"

thanks gianni much appreciated

edit:

wow... the Spaceman verse w/o the lyrics/melody could be from Lillywhite/BTCS no shit. I mean c'mon that is good shit I don't know how you get much more DMB then that. Also the horns in there is perfection! Really loving this song minus the chorus which is baaaaaaaad.

Why I Am has a very Too Much feel to it to me for some reason, but less intense of course. But I am loving that it has that style more then TEH ENERGIEZ sort of fake-it intensity that Stand Up songs had to offer.

I am extremely excited for the rest of this album now. These two songs are much much better then Funny is IMO

I love the "world" part in WIA.

wow I really love Why I Am, and I think Spaceman would beat it out if it didn't have such a corny chorus

and the lyrics sort of get on my nerves in FTWII, i sort of can't get over it... a lot of stuff just doesn't seem to fit the melody or something.

Meh.

There's a lot of simple rhyme so far, but it's not bothering me.

Spaceman is my favorite of the three, i agree w/ Andrew, the instrumentals are just gold.
Not crazy about Why I Am, feels too cheesy AC/DC or something.

And I've come around a bit on the live FtWII, I've listened a few more times and the lvie is much better than studio, imo.

I'm liking Spaceman more as I listen to it more. Why I Am still needs to grow on me a bit, though.

Here's what I got for lyrics for those two.

Spaceman

SPOILER

Probably get it wrong just to get it right, girl
Your probably gonna move but I caught you now
Now I’ll just have to bow down now
'Cause I love the way you move me
I love the way you move me

I like most liquor but I don’t like gin
Don’t always like the skin I’m in
Where we’re gonna go I want to start again
But I love the way you move me, baby
I love the way you move me, babe

Oh ah, ah ah yeah
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn’t everybody deserve to have the good life
But it don’t always work out
Cry, cry baby if you must
Just remember, just remember
I love the way you love me
And I love the way you move me

I’m not all there I’m a faithful sinner
I might get lost but I’ll be home for dinner
If God don’t like me he can hand me to hell
But I love the way you love me girl
And I love the way you move me

I pray to heaven to keep my place
Till I look to the mirror and saw the Devil’s face
And I’d be a dog for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby
I love the way you talk to me
I love the way you talk to me

Oh ah ah ah yeah
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn’t everybody deserve to have the good life
But it don’t always work out
Cry, cry baby if you must
Just remember
The way you move me

(Interlude)

Not coming home till the good day’s gone
Working as hard as the day is long
Working men watch me when I get home
I love the way you talk, baby
I love the way you talk, baby
I love the way you move

Oh ah ah ah yeah
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn’t everybody deserve to have the good life
But it don’t always work out
Cry, cry baby if you must
Just remember, oh remember

All the freaks are on parade
I thought I saw a Spaceman tryin to get laid
Doesn’t everybody deserve to have the good life
But it don’t always work out
Cry, cry baby if you must
Just remember, oh remember
I love the way you love me, girl
I love the way you move

Why I Am

SPOILER

I grew from monkey into a man
Then I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Till I was slave and master
At the same damn time

But it's why I am
But it's why I am
That's why I am

Still here dancing with the Groogrux King
Out of my head
And said, “Hello”

The king of man, it makes no sense
Oh and I bow to the priest, while I worship the witch

But it’s why I am
The only one that made me smile
Why I am
A snake in the woodpile
Why I am

Aww, still here dancing with the Groogrux King

Out of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can’t remember the fool that I am
Don’t cry baby, don’t cry

It’s the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right (just remember?) the world
It’s the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world
It’s the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right (just remember?) the world
It’s the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

That’s why I am
I'm unlikely to agree
That’s why I am
I'm out of my monkey tree
Why I am

Still here dancing with the Groogrux King
Will be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing
Where my story ends is when I get with him
Heaven or hell , I’m going there with the Groogrux King

That’s why I am
The color of your pretty eyes
Why I am
A snake in the woodpile
Why I am
Still here dancing with the Groogrux King

Out of my head and into the room
So when my ghost takes me from you
You can’t remember the fool that I am
Don’t cry, baby, don’t cry

imo spaceman sounds quite a bit like the old pantala intro that they used to perform... i like it though. This band may just recover from Stand Up.

i'm even more excited now - i really like the way cavello spoke in that video, it sounded like he realized that DMB needed a very good album at this stage - very encouraged now

Ya, he really seems on top of things. I remember seeing and hearing interviews of him when he did the goo goo dolls album and I got the same vibe from him.

He produced my favorite goo goo dolls albums (Dizzy up the girl, Gutterflower).
