about

Clint:
Born out of a conversation over IM with Ryan about teletubbies and how weird they are. I'd like to say I wasn't an expert on them until after I started researching for this song, but alas, it is not so. Teletubbies are scary, I can't take my eyes off that show.

True story: one time Bob Pep and I were watching and the tummy tv alarm went off and they started watching a show where these little kids were being taught how to dance the lambada. And then they watched it again.

The bridge part of this song is an homage to Logan Whitehurst's song "I Like Pez" - though even he didn't catch it when I showed him the song.

lyrics

i got no mouth but i must scream
and poe himself never felt the horror i'm seeing
on my tv... is it me?
or are strange forces at work underground?

there's a purple guy up on the screen
he's dancing around
his favorites things are:
his handbag
and great big hugs
tinky winky love
i would not want tinky winky love

satan is a baby that lives in the sun
satan is a baby that lives in the sun

a call goes out to an astroturf hut
shooting stars from a windmill
strange men feel it all in their guts
it's us they see
on their tummy tvs
how will i know when they're watching me?

an unhappy man in candyland
does he work for them
or his he starting a new-new world order
where we clean their rooms
and we live in vacuums
we roll our eyes at the happy tunes

satan is a baby that lives in the sun
satan is a baby that lives in the sun
and if that baby gets his way
we'll have new ways to communicate

they hatch their evil plans and then they do it again
they do it again
they do it again
they never go to bed on time
they get up and they do it again
they do it again
they do it again
the british invasion bred a nation of halfwits
what do bunny rabbits have to do with it?

what i do know is:
they love kids
and kids love them
and if kids love them
i fear the kids
so i asked my teacher and my teacher said
satan is a baby that lives in the sun
satan is a baby that lives in the sun
satan is a baby that lives in the sun
satan is a baby that lives in the sun

i got no mouth but i must scream
and poe himself never felt the horror i'm seeing
on my tv... it isn't me
there are strange forces at work underground

satan is a baby that lives in the sun
satan is a baby that lives in the sun
