Adam:
|
In honour of Lovable Larry who has left us - my Dad - no longer with us. He used to love saying "Get Knotted".
|
|
Wil:
|
So, it's the "Get Knotted" song, and we want from each of the members of Tripod a thing that they would like to get knotted. A thing that pisses them off.
|
|
Adam:
|
Exactly, and there may be an appearance by either Meatloaf and/or Billy Idol - last year and this year's Rugby League Grand Final entertainment.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Okay, I just have to say, this song has a language warning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Meatloaf lived in a tenament in New Orleans,
|
|
|
He used to hump papers for a livin'.
|
|
|
Which papers he humped was up to him.
|
|
|
What I mean by "humpin' papers",
|
|
|
Well, that's up to you.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Scod:
|
Doesn't necessarily mean he had sex with the papers.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Life was hard for Meatloaf, or whatever his name was,
|
|
|
His mother used to work at a truck stop.
|
|
|
Which was also a sweatshop.
|
|
|
It was so hot, you could make a necklace out of the beads of sweat on her face.
|
|
|
It wasn't a very good necklace, no way.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Scod:
|
Meatloaf used to have to sit by,
|
|
|
While the truckies hassled his Mum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
They disrespected her,
|
|
|
And he tried to protect her,
|
|
|
So he pulled out a projector,
|
|
|
And he gave them a lecture,
|
|
|
On how their jokes affected her.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
He told them to "Get Knotted".
|
|
Scod:
|
Yeah!
|
|
Tripod:
|
It means "Get Fucked", but nice.
|
|
Scod:
|
That way you still have the moral high ground.
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
You gotta make the most of the time you're allotted,
|
|
|
You gotta step up and say "Get Knotted".
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Get Knotted, Get Knotted, Get Knotted.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Sure, he got the shit kicked out of him,
|
|
|
But he could hold his head up high.
|
|
|
Well, the truckies held his head up,
|
|
|
It was easier to kick it that way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
Yeah! Now, Billy Idol was a scientist,
|
|
|
In a fairly low-key place.
|
|
|
He was researching the effect of sunlight,
|
|
|
On the human face.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And nothing much happened,
|
|
|
In that there science installation.
|
|
|
But one day, Billy was forced,
|
|
|
Into a nasty confrontation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
With a band of marauding truckies,
|
|
|
They were just passing by, fresh from a kill.
|
|
|
And changed his screensaver,
|
|
|
From the one he liked.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Gatesy:
|
Ooh, it used to be a Dr Who one,
|
|
|
But they changed it to a new one,
|
|
|
I don't need to tell you who won,
|
|
|
Because he just had to do one thing:
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Tell them to "Get Knotted".
|
|
Tripod:
|
It means "Get Fucked", but nice.
|
|
Scod:
|
That way you still have the moral high ground.
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
You gotta make the most of the time you're allotted,
|
|
Gatesy:
|
You gotta step up and say "Get Knotted".
|
|
|
Get Knotted, Get Knotted, Get Knotted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Tripod came down to the Triple J studios,
|
|
|
They'd just come back from holidays.
|
|
|
And they were meant to write a song,
|
|
|
A song about themselves.
|
|
|
They didn't listen to the topic properly,
|
|
|
And they made up some stories about nothing in particular.
|
|
|
And then they just changed the names to "Meatloaf" and "Billy Idol".
|
|
|
It was not Yonny's fault,
|
|
|
Not this time.
|
|
|
Sometimes, Adam and Wil just have to learn...
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
... to "Get Knotted".
|
|
|
It means "Get Fucked", but nice.
|
|
Scod:
|
That way we've got the moral high ground.
|
|
Yon:
|
Got the moral ground.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Yeah!
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
You gotta make the most of the time you're allotted,
|
|
|
You gotta step up and say "Get Knotted".
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Get Knotted, Get Knotted, Get Knotted. Yeah!
