FAWM: "Soda Jerk"

Soda Jerk

Liner Notes

Just doing what I do best. Real proud of myself for starting with my list of song ideas that I pull together all year round. All I had was the title but it was enough for me to work from. Momentum!

Lyrics

His syrupy words are gonna make you cry
It won't last long it's a sugar high
It tastes so sweet like a candy cane
You gotta slow down he's gonna cause you pain

He's gonna give you what you order
A reliable recipe
The same drink he makes for everyone
No originality

He's a soda jerk and hes using you
He gets around town and he won't stay true
He seems so sweet but he's plastic goo
He's a soda jerk and he don't love you

you melt like ice cream when he looks your way
Just watch him add a cherry to your sundae
He stirs your drink with a wink in his eye
And cuts you a slice of his apple pie

He looks good enough to eat
Right down to the last drop
You'd better take it easy
Or the cavities won't stop

He's a soda jerk and hes using you
He gets around town and he won't stay true
He seems so sweet but he's plastic goo
He's a soda jerk and he don't love you

"He seems so sweet but he's plastic goo” - what an awesome lyric. I feel like this is somehow both pop punk and like… 50s milk bar rock n roll? Either way, rebelliousness and catchy tunes all round, it’s a bop!

Just love the pictures that you paint with your words. Groovy? That dates me. But nice listen and fascinating layers.

@thomdunn 2w

This is the best song the Queers never wrote

@scottmcb 2w

That chorus is so catchy and infectious. Love the solo and the brief slowdown. Really fun

@nkrefting 2w

I read the lyrics first and already loved it. The music took it up a notch - exactly what the lyrics needed. This is awesome.

If Weezer were a punk band, this is what I imagine would happen. Catchy melody and lyrical hooks aplenty. And a shreddy lead guitar solo too.

@danieldeshon 2w

Punk Rock! Fun tune, clever lyric. Nice!

@pornstache 2w

This is fantastic! I dig the lyrics, the music, and the guitar solos especially. Well done!

I love the extended pun on "soda jerk" and the cleverness of the lyrics. Also a really nice composition and performance, with a catchy tune. I really enjoyed it. Great start to FAWM!
