Seventies TV Show Theme Song - Sun Kil Moon

I know this song sounds like a 70's TV Show theme

Maybe because me and the guy who are playing it are 49 and 53

Maybe we watched a lot of Welcome Back, Kotter and maybe we watched a lot of

Sanford and Son

Maybe we watched a lot of Three’s Company or Family Ties or maybe a lot of

Brady Bunch or whatever that one was with the re-runs

Aw man, who didn’t want to get down with Marsha Brady?

Suzanne Somers or Valerie Bertinelli

Or Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, or Jaclyn Smith

Nobody watched Charlie’s Angels without having a favorite pick

All I know is this reminds of the theme to Barney Miller

It wasn’t intentional, just adding a song on the record for filler

Maybe this song will cause you to have a wet dream

Maybe this song will cause you to connect with an actual human being

And maybe you’ll hear this song when the sun is up

Maybe you’ll hear it when you’re down in the dumps

Maybe you’ll hear it on a Spotify stream

Your girlfriend’ll say, «Eww, you actually like this shit?»

Break it off with you and leave

Or maybe you’ve already turned this song off

Or maybe you’re playing it and going, «Check this out, boss.»

Maybe you can’t relate to this song

Maybe you’re a millennial and you don’t know the references at all

Maybe you’ll hear it and say, «I prefer your older songs.»

Or maybe the world has changed and I’m not that songwriter anymore

Sitting around, moping about the hardships of being twenty-four (being

twenty-four)

I’ve heard old that stuff, that’s great, and it’s available at the Amazon store

(the Amazon store)

If you like those steel-string guitar sounds and those old slow beats (those

old slow beats)

That’s cool, but be careful when you’re walking across the street (across the

street)

With those headphones in those inner cities (the inner city)

A car might hit you, you might get mugged by a thief and you’ll wish that you

had a clue (you had a clue)

Or you might fall asleep playing this album in the background

Thinking okay (?), this is a pretty nice sound (pretty nice sound)

And then maybe by the time it’s about two or three (two or three)

You’ll find yourself deep asleep, having a trippy dream

Just back from L.A. where I recorded vocals to the «Seventies» track

You can tell I spent a really long time on the lyrics, right?

I spent months on those, thank you

Anyhow, it’s a beautiful spring day in San Francisco

And just as I sat down to take a breath, I heard something crash in my hall

I walked over and part of the ceiling fell off

And I was like, «Jesus fucking Christ, can’t I get a fucking break?»

So I texted my building manager and she said a guy would be over to look at it

He came over to check it out and all of things I ended up hiring him to redo my

bathroom

I’ve been in the building for twenty-two years and it’s time for some new

scenery in there

I told him I wanted a white tile with gray veins

My building manager warned me that he was colorblind

So I pointed to a marble top stand that’s gray and white

He said, «That's brown.»

I said, «No, man, that’s gray

You know?

Like your hair, man.

Gray.»

He laughed and said, «Okay, okay.»

I said, «Hey, I got a little gray too.

I’m not picking on you.

But please just

tell the guy at Home Depot gray and let them pick the color.»

Fingers crossed that he gets it right

It was a long weekend and I went to bed and I just woke up from a long sleep

I dreamed I was invited to Farrah Fawcett’s house

It was a big, beautiful house somewhere in California

There were maybe ten people there, none of whom I knew

Though Farrah was older, she looked just liked she did in Charlie’s Angels

And she was kind and a wonderful host

Her house was enormous with lots of glass and light

And a nice open living room

I took a walk outside and all the land around our house was rolling hills

leading to the Pacific Ocean

The land looked something like a cross between Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur,

and Point Reyes

With beautiful orange flowers for days and days

The ocean was off in the distance a bit but I walked down there

And when I got the ocean, it wasn’t the ocean anymore

But a river

There were two couples fishing who didn’t appear to know what they were doing

One of the girls said she caught a fish but was struggling to reel it in

I offered to help and she gave me the pull and warned me that the gear had been

rented

The line seemed like it was snagged on something

As I was pulling, I noticed a small boat floating towards us

Holy fuck, her hook was caught on a small boat and I was reeling the boat in

I didn’t know why I didn’t think to cut the line

I guess it was sort of fun catching a boat and everyone was laughing

When the boat finally got to the shore

It crashed fairly hard onto a dock

But not too hard

Of all things, a few people were inside

I entered the boat to discuss the damage with them

They laughed and said not to worry about it

That the fishing pole probably took more of a beating than the boat

I thanked them and when I jumped off the boat the girl looked petrified

I said, «Aw, god, I’m really sorry to tell you this but the boat owners want to

sue.

They said there’s quite a lot of damage in there, many of their belongings

as well as the motor and some damage to the back of the boat.»

She began sobbing and I immediately hugged her and said, «Nah, nah,

I’m just kidding.

It’s okay, there’s no damage.

They’re super nice people and

they even offered to give you a new fishing pole if yours was damaged.»

She said, «Aw, god,» she took a deep breath, then she said, «Let's just get the

fuck out of here.»
