The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Snmnmnm, "Little Buddy" from Snmnmnm (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary:

"Well, he showed up at the house again,
And I knew in that instant it was the end
Because he brought along the Skipper and his navy friends.
(Skipper!)
And they grabbed me by my arms and my legs,
Then they tied me up and shoved me in a beer keg,
And set me out to sea, never to return.

Don't leave me all alone,
Who knows what I'll do?
All this time, I never knew!

My girl's in love with Gilligan,
With Gilligan, yeah, Gilligan,
My girl's in love with Gilligan,
Yeah, Gilligan.
My girl's in love with Gilligan,
With Gilligan, yeah, Gilligan,
My girl's in love with Gilligan,
With Gilligan.

Honey, baby, sugar pie,
Why'd you leave me for the little buddy?
What is it about this guy that you think is so rad?
Is it his white hat? Is it his red shirt?
Or is it his love for coconut cream pies?
Wah-hah-hah!

Don't leave me all alone,
Who knows what I'll do?
All this time, I never never knew!"
