lyrics

If being clever with words was a national pastime, Dakota Loesch would be everyone’s PE coach. Wait what? Longtime GP Veteran and LA’s weirdest actor, Dakota enters the reunion this year with song that will probably hit home for a few us while we are home for the holidays  The lyrics swirl around family and where everyone ends up, mixed with some childhood nostalgia, and of course a couple of beverages. Dakota always shines over lo-fi Casio sounding drum loops, and the wordsmith hits a new high for me this year with that hook  “Kids kick the can and adults kick the bucket, and kids kick the bucket too”, but even better when that morphs into ““Kids are like damn and adults are like fuck it, so their kids are like fuck it too.” Its perfect Dakota and I fucking love it. 


when her dream home got bombed down
she packed her trophies, moved back to mom’s house
auntie brought all the dogs out
that cousin suzie bought at the dog pound
cream soda and sauerkraut
and powdered milk and “sorry y’all, the power’s out”
after several cocktail hours now:
“we thank you, lord, for table wine and our house”

cuz…

kids kick the can and adults kick the bucket
and kids kick the bucket too

kids are like “damn” and adults are like “fuck it”
so their kids are like “fuck it” too

and the kids say…

when her dream home got bombed down
she packed her trophies, moved back to mom’s house
and auntie brought all the dogs out
that cousin suzie bought at the dog pound
cream soda and sauerkraut
and powdered milk and “sorry y’all, the power’s out”
this’s after several cocktail hours now:
“we thank ye, lord, for table wine and our house”

because…

kids kick the can and adults kick the bucket
and kids kick the bucket too

kids kick the can and kids kick the can and
kids kick the can and kids kick the can and
kids kick the can and kids kick the can and
kids kick the can and kids kick the bucket too
