This week the theme is to find a song from an album you had never listened to before suggested by Clive of Take It Easy. 

I found this song because the first thing that came into my head were the words “beautiful mind” so I searched it on youtube, this came up, and I’ve never heard it nor heard of the artist. I actually like it!

Lyrics

Please take a seat
Never really done this before
That’s ok, just tell me the first thing that comes into your head
Ok

Dolphins dressed in monocles
With tiny top hats that cover up their blowholes (aw shit!)
Clouds with faces but they’re upside down
So it looks like their rain is hair (fuck yeah!)
Santa Claus going down a chimney
But the chimney is a cigarette, and the house is a man
Bowling balls made out of peanut butter
But they’re the bubbles in a big rubber Hubba Bubba bubble bath

Oh, my God
You got a beautiful mind

I know
So sit back
And enjoy the show

How did we
Both end up here?
I don’t know
And I don’t care
So come on let’s get it on!

Doctor holding a big bottle of tonic
But the bottle’s full of rings
And the doctor is Sonic
Jimmy Fallon with a hat on (Jimmy Fallon with a hat on)
Man full of jelly but the jelly fully of ham
Baby with two wheels instead of hands

Doctor, doctor
Is there something wrong with me?
Give it to me straight, doc
What do you see?

Doctor!

Beagles eating bugles while a poodle plays the flugelhorn (what?)
Horny foreman foraging for mushrooms in an ice storm (good god!)
Big pies with big eyes and big thighs
Anaconda in a condescending disguise
Sandra Bullock
Specifically from Speed 2
Fighting with my best friend’s aunt at a barbecue
A frog doing his taxes while he sits on a swing

But that’s just what I see
I can see the same thing

Ah-ah-ah-ahh
You’ve got a beautiful mind
I can see my destiny (you’ve got a beautiful mind)
And a bear learning how to water ski

Ah-ah-ah-ahh
You’ve got a beautiful mind
I see the past and the future as one
Also a honey bee holding a gun

Fourteen gerbils in a kiddie pool (yes)
Robot crying softly on a barstool (yes)
Santa’s elves unionise the North Pole (oh yes!)
Gimli locking lips with a cute troll (yes!)
A lawyer and a barber barter bubbles underwater
And the lawyer and the barber disagree on the fee

And that’s a beautiful tree
I don’t see a tree
What do you see?
You and me!

We can see through space and time (we’ve got a beautiful mind)
And a bunch of clowns beating up a mime
(Ah-ah-ah-ahh, we’ve got a beautiful mind)
We see our hearts and minds start to unite
Also a farting guy flying a kite

Oh, my god
We’ve got a beautiful

Mind
