Well the reel big fish said that they got it made, because they signed a record company they're gonna get paid "I said...don't tough that dial" is all right, but the next verse of the rap is pretty damn near impossible to understand

I can't change the levels enough into the second part of the rap, but here's what I could get from the song... Brrrdaah stick ‘em ha ha ha stick ‘em Brrrdaah stick ‘em ha ha ha stick ‘em What every happened to Suburban Rhythm Why did Ed and Scott quit Please don’t go Suburban Rhythm All the other bands are just shit Well the Reel Big Sish said that they got it made Because they signed with a record company they gonna get paid I said they mess up on the lyrics and they got no style Said they gonna get it right but it might take a while (whoo whaa) Don’t touch that dial Huuhh And I’ll never seem to blah blah blung blung gun Say I’ll never never play with those guys again ‘Cause I never showed up So what ever happened to Suburban Rhythm Why did Ed and Scott quit (would you please drop the gangsta shit) Please don’t go suburban rhythm All the other bands are just shit

The version of this song on Our Live Album is Better than Your Live Album is one of the most incredible things I have ever heard.
