What In The Hell Are You Talking About, Rich Cronin?

I am not a doctor (I just play one on this blog) but I am confident that Rich Cronin, the lead singer of LFO, has a mad case of Tourette Syndrome.

The song Summertime Girls is suppose to be a story about some girl that he met somewhere one summer. I don't know any more details than that because it is a difficult tale to follow in light of the fact that Rich keeps interrupting himself - spitting out random words and observations for no apparent reason. My favorite being:

Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
My mind takes me back there oh so quick
Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Lipit
Think about that summer and I bug, cause I miss it
Like the color purple, macaroni and cheese
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees

A BUNCH OF TREES!!! What in the hell? Well, at least it rhymes....


Enjoy:
New Kids On The Block, had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer..Since that summer

Hip Hop, marmalade, spic and span
Met you one summer and it all began
You’re the best girl that I ever did see
The great Larry Bird Jersey 33

When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby
Somthing in your eyes went and drove me crazy
Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad
Left one day and never came back

Stayed all summer then went back home
Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone
Fell deep in love, but now we ain't speaking
Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

Cheery Pez, cold crush, rock star boogie
Used to hate school so I had to play hookie
Always been hip to the B-boy Style
Known to act wild and make girls smile
Love New Edition and the Candy Girl
Remind me of you because you rock my world

You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
They drink lemonade and speak real slow
You love hip hop and rock n roll
Dad took off when you were 4 years old

There was a good man named Paul Revere
I feel much better baby when you're near
You love fun dip and cherry Coke
I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

In the summertime girls got it goin on
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
My mind takes me back there oh so quick
Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Lipit
Think about that summer and I bug, cause I miss it
Like the color purple, macaroni and cheese
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees

Call you up but what’s the use
I like Kevin Bacon, but I hate Footloose
Came in the door said it before
I think I'm over youbut I'm really not sure
In the summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worth while and some are so so
Summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worth while and some are so so
Summertime girls got it going on
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
