The cursed song. Recording rottenberry crashed the Orb drive a record eight times.
The actual song was inspired, as stated in the song, from a complaint box note left by a striking young sorority girl.
"We were eating supper together in our dormitory cafeteria one night, and she got upset that there was mold growing on my fruit plate. She tried to write a note of complaint for the suggestion box, but she couldn’t keep it serious and it turned into a joke. I kept the note, and came across it a few years later. The three sentences on that note pretty much summed up our relationship. What else could you expect from a girl named Spaz?" says Ryan.
lyrics
complaint box in a shitty cafeteria
the note she wrote removed all doubt
i should have known if i ate the rottenberries
i’d be up all night puking my guts out
oh oh oh she does it ‘cos she can
intoxicating me oh yeah
oh oh oh she takes me by the hand
the sweetest waste of time
believe me rottenberry makes the world go round
another trip to the body shop
pick up another case to knock me out
money clothes cigarettes and alcohol
my little pi phi girl can never do without
oh oh oh she does it ‘cos she can
intoxicating me oh yeah
oh oh oh she takes me by the hand
the sweetest waste of time
believe me rottenberry makes the world go round
uptight shop right head down to the gap tonight
just like everybody said she would
cold outside and i have died
just like everybody said i would
oh oh oh she does it ‘cos she can
intoxicating me oh yeah
oh oh oh she takes me by the hand
the sweetest waste of time
believe me rottenberry makes the world go round
oh oh oh she does it ‘cos she can
intoxicating me oh yeah
oh oh oh she takes me by the hand
the sweetest waste of time
believe me rottenberry makes the world go round
