C: "Now, we're up to our long-distance
Dedication. And this one is about kids
And pets, and a situation that we can all
Understand, whether we have kids, or pets
Or neither. It's from a man in Cincinatti
Ohio. And here's what he writes:
"'Dear Casey, This may seem to be a strange
Dedication request, but I'm quite sincere
And it'll mean a lot if you play it
Recently, there was a d**h in our family
He was a little dog named Snuggles
But he was most certainly a part of...'"

The four-man band features Adam Clayton
On ba**, Larry Mullen on drums, Dave Evans
Nicknamed 'The Edge', on..." ...this is bullsh**

V1: I think that people read
More into the music than
Is really there...
C: Will somebody find out
The goddamn answer?
V1: In the 50's, they considered
It vulgar and despicable to have songs
Like "Teach Me Tonight," "Let's Do It"
By Cole Porter, "All of You" by Cole
Porter--those were considered
Euphemisms for something dirty
C: Who gives a sh**?
V1: Some vulgar, dirty act
C: Diddly sh**, diddly sh**!
V1: The Kingston Trio sang a song
That used the word "damn". It was
Banned on the radio
C: Goddammit!
V1: In the 60's, there was a song
Called "Louie Louie"...
C: Goddammit!
V1: ...it was played upside
Backwards...
C: Goddammit!
V1: ...every way they could play it
Looking for the dirty message
C: Goddammit!
V1: They never found the dirty message;
The FCC was brought in
C: Oh, f**!
V1: Uhh, in the 70's, people went
Through the same period, looking for
The dirtiness of the song
S (Coven): SATAN!...HAIL, SATAN!
V1: I...waaat?
S: HAIL!...[Whssshhh]
V1: I...
S: HAIL!...[Whssshhh]
V1: I.. I really don't think that
The Satanic message is there...

C: Snuggles
CB2: ...I'll be wearin' a red
And white baseball cap, says "ABC
Auto Parts" on it
C: OK...

C: OK...
CBJ: Oh, he sounds like a real
Fancy dresser now, doesn't he, ha, ha?
C: OK...
CB2: I'm gonna whup your f**in' a**
C: OK, I want a goddamn concerted effort
To come out of a record that isn't a
f**ing up-tempo record everytime I do a
Goddamn d**h dedication! It's the last
Goddamn time, I want SOMEBODY to use his
f**in' brain, to not come out of a
Goddamn record that is, uh, that, that's
Up-tempo and I gotta talk about a f**in'
Dog dying!!!
CB3: That guy gets himself
Into so much sh**!
CB1: ...stupid sh**head again...

Straightest kid in town

Ponderous, f**in' ponderous
