SONG NAME: Old People
CREDITS: Austin Aeschliman: Lead vocals, back-up vocals, producer. Patrick White- Back-up vocals. Ted Wilson: Engineer.
COOL STUFF: Played on the legendary nationally syndicated radio program The Dr. Demento Show! Featured as #1 on the Mad Music Dementia Top 20 twice. There is another parody of Teenagers with the exact same name and subject by Nuclear Bubble Wrap there's is pretty awesome too, great minds DO think alike! Go check there's out now!
WORLD PREMIERE: Bofore Radio
RELEASED ON: Austin's MySpace Page
ORIGIN: I wrote this song in 2007 shortly after the release of The Black Parade, I bought the album and realized it was uber amazing. So while listening to Teenagers for the 800th time I thought up this idea. I thought it'd be funny to have a song with the opposite subject of the original. I recorded two demos through out the year and finally in early 2008 I recorded it in the studio for the Wrong Side of the Bed album.
LYRICS: New lyrics by Austin Aeschliman
They never update their looks
And have to eat food that’s smooshed
You know their skin is all stretched out too
Taking a nap is their dream
And no one cares what they think
You never know what they’re up to
'Cause they got more pills than shirts
Whenever they move, it hurts
And they get tired from just eating
'Cause none of them have real hair,
Always are in a wheelchair
Well at least they don’t have to brush their teeth
You know that old people scare the living crap out of me
Got 401(k) and always drive recklessly
Put them in a home, and they’ll watch Murder She Wrote
They just might leave you alone, but not me
The boys and girls look the same
When they start to reach old age
There’s just so many that they’ve outlived
Their body’s falling apart
And they got jobs at Wal-Mart
Their childhood toys are in a museum.
You know the elderly scare the living crap out of me
Their eyesight is gone so it’s hard for them to read
They're senile old fools, don’t believe me well dude
Then just ask the guy from “The King of Queens”
Ohhh yeah!
(Turn down that racket! Darn kids and your wild hootenannies! Don’t make me come over there, that’s it! My hip! Help me, Life Alert! GAAAR!!!)
Old people scare the living crap out of me
Knowledge of pop culture’s unsurprisingly bleak
Nurses steal their clothes, and their nose hair grows and grows
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me
All together now!
Old people scare the living crap out of me
They're tired and sad, crazy, weird, bitter and weak
Put them in a home, and they’ll watch Murder She Wrote
Perhaps they’ll leave you alone, but not me
(When I was your age, I saw Bach in concert!)
Old people scare the living crap out of me
Years of tooth decay has stuck them with some false teeth
Put them in a home, and they’ll watch Murder She Wrote
I see they’ve left you alone but not me
