Forty Years of Relentless Hype

It was forty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper was released to play
They’ve been going in and out of style
But the boomers are guaranteed to smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act I’ve known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

They’re Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,
I knew I couldn’t enjoy the show,
They’re Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and see the truth behind the hype.
Sgt. Pepper’s lonely, Sgt. Pepper’s lonely,
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely tired act.

Not wonderful to hear,
It’s certainly not a thrill.
They’re such a overhyped mess,
I’d like to take an axe to it,
I’d love to crush it dead.

I really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer’s going to sing a song,
And he wants to continue to shill.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only overhyped album
It’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Someone, please, save us from the periodic hosannas to this fucking album and that damned mess Pet Sounds (that forty year anniversary was last year). I swear I’m not going to listen to the fucking radio at all in 2016 and 2017.
