(c) 2004 by Lewis D'Aubin Labcoat mp3 If you're feeling out of place Experiment blows up in your face Just put on your lab coat and hit the town Boss man looking quite annoyed Thinks you should be unemployed So put on your lab coat and hit the town It's a wonder what a good lab coat will do Keeps you warm, fits your form And makes you feel slightly smarter too Now you're feeling not so great Could be the arsenic that you ate So take off your lab coat, and hit the ground Take it! (guitar solo) It's amazing what a good lab coat will do Keeps you warm, fits your form And makes you feel slightly smarter too They don't write songs like this no more We did it cause we got bored So purchase a lab coat I said go get a lab coat And put on that lab coat And hit the town! |
This funny little ditty about our preferred mode of fashion was dreamed up in 2003 and solidified in my sleep-deprived haze on the way back from taping an appearance on the WWL morning news in November of 2004. We recorded a crude demo of it and put it aside until the more jazz-astute Dr. A Rachnid joined the group, then dusted it off and gussied it up with a beautifully corny jazz guitar solo. We performed it on the WWL morning news in 2007 and in 2008, this became Lab Girl Trixie's feature solo song, as its 1920's style perfectly suited her old-school vibe. When Dr. Formelda Hyde-Pinkerton joined the group in 2010, she took over lead vocal duties and made this song her own. For the official album version, we enlisted the help of New Leviathan Oriental Foxtrot Orchestra drummer Carl Mack to play the skins, and recorded the whole thing live with bass, vocals, guitar and piano. Icing on the cake was provided by Carl's historically significant set of tuned cowbells, purchased from the original Spike Jones orchestra!
