Mr. David Letterman.mp3 Track

"I think this is the only song the Primal Scream aka Primal Consumers recorded live but never in the studio. It was recorded at a gig at Madam Wong's West, not sure which show. This version is the newly created AI version. It sounds nothing like the original; only my lyrics stay the same. There's a story behind this song, involving seeing Letterman in Los Angeles summer 1985. Bo Derek was the guest, and I was trying to spread a crowd meme. Like the wave, but instead ape ooks and grunts. Imagine a crowded stadium all making monkey/ape sounds in unison. The David Letterman Show seemed a good forum to spread the ook meme. A national audience! Anyway, Bo Derek had recently made her Tarzan movie and... well, it's how I got my David Letterman sponge. We were bribed to not promote my communal meme while Bo was present."

Lyrics:

Mr. David Letterman
Used to be a weatherman
Who can show me a better man
To run for president

Mr. David Letterman
Used to be a weatherman
If you want real comedy
Run for president.

It would be real nice
with Paul as your vice
What policies would your administration bring?
Some kind of kooky kooky crazy thing?

Mr. David Letterman
Used to be a weatherman
Who can show me a better man
To run for president

Mr. David Letterman
Used to be a weatherman
Who can show me a better man
To run for president
