lyrics

( Wow! Seed & Chillum are bummed out. Joe Chillum starts to imagine a stock portfolio, his wife’s SAAB convertible, 3 VCRs, “Dallas”, DINNER WITH THE BOSS. But Seed manages to bring him back from the edge of bland professionalism just as a paisley-painted VW Bus pulls up. It’s the van from Moishe’s Psychadelicatessen, in the Land of Wacko, just down the road.
They are invited in for some cheese and onions. Like man, everyone there was GONE man…real GONE. The counter was open in the front so the guy that worked there didn’t have to do anything. A real union shop.
From the back of the store our heroes hear music being played – sounding like a 14 year old wrote it…..and they were right…..)

11- THOROUGHSIN’S HIGH SPEED VACUUM SHOPPE
Trip McHeadband:
If you ever thought of jumping on a horse in a balloon
If you ever wanted television built into a pill
There’s room for you at Thoroughsin’s High Speed
Vacuum Shoppe,
Thoroughsin’s High Speed Vacuum Shoppe

We see people talking to a sheet into a dive
To only learn that the secret’s been withheld
beside the blinds
We’ll make room for you at Thoroughsin’s High Speed
Vacuum Shoppe

There’s a world for you if you come inside
We do everything with High Speed Mind
We’ll accommodate you at Thoroughsin’s High Speed
Vacuum Shoppe
We’ll commiserate with you at, Thoroughsin’s High Speed
Vacuum Shoppe,
Thoroughsin’s High Speed Vacuum Shoppe

( After a pleasant but uneventful 18 months of drug enforced hilarity, 100 pounds thinner, and desiring of public office, Seed & Chillum once again decide to hit the road. Every high seems soooooo good at the time, it’s really hard to pick the best.

Our travelers soon come to a different sort of high, a little town where it’s Christmastime all year round. And everyone knows what kind of high Christmas is. As they enter Town, snow is lightly falling; the children are singing Christmas carols through the streets….)

They have been described as the illegitimate flower-child of The Who, The Beatles, XTC, The Kinks, Mrs. Miller and Cheap Trick. Power-pop, cleverly-stupid, quiet is the new loud. ... more
