MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Released on this day in 1995…

a song about a woman named Lump…

Courtesy of The Presidents of the United States of America.

Lead singer Chris Ballew said the song came from a very strange mix:

a benign tumor he once had…

and a vision of a woman in a swamp.

I agree – that’s a strange mix.

Also, Ballew later became Caspar Babypants —

a children’s musician.

Which honestly feels like

less of a career change than it should.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Lump was limp and lonely and needed a shove
Lump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love.” – The Presidents of the USA
