Diamond rings and lipstick stains
Popcorn movie shows
Hollywood makes it look so good
So look out here I go
Look out here I go

Squeaky Black blonde hair slicked back
White whale corduroy
Boo fondu Baby I love you
You sexy side burn boy
Sexy side burn boy

Shake me if I'm dreamin'
Run run run screamin'
Oh love, love makes me stupid

Teenage dream you're so James Dean,
When you make your cameo
Hey look at me I'm on MTV
I feel like Marilyn Monroe
Fries and shakes and New York steaks
I thought I had kissed a prince
Mr Right one LA night an I Haven't seen you since

Shake me if I'm dreamin'
Run run run screamin'
Oh love, love makes me stupid

Oh love may be comin' round the bend
Oh love may be this is it
Oh love make me feel like sugar

Shake me if I'm dreamin'
Run run run screamin'
Oh love love makes me...
Shake me if I'm dreamin'
Run run run screamin'
Oh love, love makes me stupid

La la la la la la, la la la la la oh love love makes me
La la la la la la, la la la la la oh love love makes me stupid
La la la la la la, la la la la la oh love
Love makes me stupid

Yeh--shoulda done "Driving On 9" before this, instead. That'd've worked. {*double contraction apostrophe alert*}
Man, this sounds like lyrics and stylings ala Old 97's!!! Any truth to this? Me likes me Old 97's. Me likes me this too!
tequilla also makes me stupid.

I'm pretty sure this predates Aimee Mann's CD. Amazon's release date for this is wrong (as is often the case). It came out in 1993, I think.
Mann's I'm With Stupid came out in 1995. Mumbo Gumbo in 1998. But so what? The Clash's London Calling aped Elvis's first album cover; ditto Joe Jackson's Body and Soul Coltrane's original.
Yep.

Hey, another album cover that uses fridge magnets! (cf. Aimee Mann a few songs ago). How original!

I think I love this one, although it could just be the stupidity. Needs another listen.

The CD cover artist must have been the same one as Aimee Mann's I'm with Stupid..... Creativity, Coicidence or just stupidity ??
Maybe they were at the same photoshoot that day?
How is this song a 6? What a catchy jam..

kinda sounds like kd lang
I do hear it....maybe she's channelling? I think kd lang's voice is a touch better, smoother. purer without even trying...maybe. This is a pleasant enough song.

Bill, you're on a roll this afternoon!
Sounds like an inferior knock-off of the Breeder's "Drivin' on 9."
"You sexy sideburn boy" That'd be me! :D
