This is an early version of a song from the up and coming album, "Seamonkey Presents: The Boobles!" which is a project to benefit a breast cancer organization my mom-in-law, a 5 year survivor, is active in called The Smiling Women Project - www.smilingwomen.org - "Buying Brassieres Together" is a parody of "Strawberry Fields Forever" and chronicles the not-so-fresh feeling of being a man having to accompany the significant other to the department store underwear section. Unnnnncomfortable... not to mention it's the Seamonkey's debut on drums! Yikes! Lift your ears and separate your brain: it's The Boobles!!! - Special mention to Spaff for showing me how to spell "brassieres".

Won't you shoot me now 'cos we're going to buy some brassieres to hold up here spheres. So I'll just calmly pace about. Buying brassieres together. I really hate shopping for clothes, 'specially when they're not for me. She grabs my hand and goes to the department store lingerie aisle. I think most men will agree. Someone you shoot me now 'cos we're going to buy some brassieres. They're on sale at Sears. So nothing to get hyped up about. Buying brassieres together. It is so emasculating being the one to hold her purse. The clerk walks buy and asks if I'm finding things alright. "No thanks you've just made things get worse." Would you kill me now 'cos we're going to buy some brassieres. I feel so weird. So I'll just hang my head and pout. Buying brassieres together. "Honey, does this one look alright?" That's what I thought she said to me. Put my head in the dressing room and I must have heard her wrong, but I can't tell over the screams. [Won't] you kill me now 'cos we're going to buy some brassieres. I'm outta here. I'll be in the car while you check out. Buying brassieres together. Can't we find something in leather? Buying brassieres together. Wonderful.

Does that mean one likes the song when they reiterate the lyrics?
DJ Particle, I'd appreciate it being Seamonkey presents The Boobles I suppose. Treat it like one of those women with a hyphenated name, like Meredith Baxter-Birney or something! Thanks e'erbody!
Oh, and Hurricane... it's Ringo. DEFINATELY Ringo.

Bitch, you don't KNOW emasculating until you've had an infant latch onto your nipple and try with a nigh-caffeinated level of impotent frustration to extract milk from your man-boob. Anyhoo, I like this one, dammit. Probably my second favorite Seamonkey joint next to "Anorexiac."

I know which theme playlist this song is being added to. Great song, Seamonkey.

Thankfully my wife does most of her shopping online. :)

*snrk* I was enough of a geek to download this and play it backwards just to hear the backmasking. I will not say what I heard, but it was not a ripping recipe for lentil soup. This song is fab!

Ho.......... Ly......... Shit....................

Curious... when I play this on Revenge tomorrow, do you want the artist credit to say "Seamonkey" or "The Boobles"?
seamonkey - Sep 8, 2007
Thanks Tom! Your desire for a medley (although not across all the artists you mentioned) will have to wait 'til next spring as The Boobles album WILL have a medley on it. As with the rest of the album though, it will be an all-Beatle, all-boob medley :)
Thanks for the kind comments everyone! I'm off to do more backward masking!

I honestly like this one -- literally, been there, done that -- but I feel as if you missed a chance for a medley. The Capital Steps already did "Wonder Bra" to "Wunderbar", but there's Matchbox 20 ("I'm not pasties, I'm just a little underwire..."), Bonnie Tyler ("Totally crossing my heart..."), Simon and Garfunkel ("Do-dn-do-doo-do, sheathin' boobies")....

This is superb, Seamonkey. But what's next, "Victoria's Secret" as a parody of "Octopuses' Garden", or "A Hard Day's Bra"? Sounds like you had fun beating on drums.

Hale & Pace also have done Wonder Bra, to the tune of Wonder Wall by Oasis.

Not as disgusting as usual, but still good.

Also, "It's The Most Wonderful Kind of Brassiere" by Robert Lund.
BathTub - Sep 11, 2007
Heh, you know you have a reputation when people respond "This isn't quite as disgusting as your previous work".

This is one of those songs that make me want to learn the words. Just because of the image I get when I start playing "Strawberry Fields Forever" on karaoke but sing this instead

I know I'm late on the comment, but this is your best sounding song, production-wise.
happyskunk - Apr 20, 2008
I love this one.

*shakes head and chuckles* Wow...just wow. No better way to describe this song except with wow :P And on the more controversial note, we now have a debate on our hands- which is the better drummer doing a Beatles song- Ringo or Seamonkey?
