Story Behind The Song

Someone's cynically complaining about his very bad roommate.

Song Description

Humorous bouncy pop song with very strong hook. Harkens to 70s pop with a Partridge Family type vocal breakdown midway through song.

My Bad Roommate

VERSE 1:
Bring in the maid to clean up this lousy place
Is the first thing that he ever said directly to my
face

I rue the day I met the man who could never understand
That the way to feed himself is not through my hand

PRECHOR:
One day he might cook a meal
With some food he did not steal
Out of my aquarium

CHORUS:
He?s a very ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
My bad roommate

VERSE 2:
He left his drums in L.A. but he still wanted to play
So he took the attic right above my bedroom

Now it?s 3 a.m., and the banging in my head
Is what I imagine it is underneath nuclear mining

PRECHOR:
One day there will be a saint
Upon his cloud I will vent
Or, I?ll be living in a tent
On my parents? backyard deck
But for now I?m sharing rent

CHORUS:
With a very ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
My bad roommate

BRIDGE:
Maybe I?ve died and gone to hell
Maybe the landlord has a tail
I?m sure that the rent is very cheap
And I will never ever pay for heat
