Eddie Mugavero: music
WE'RE AN ITEM
(Written by Eddie Mugavero-Performed by BadaBing BadaBoom)
The interesting story behind this song is that the basic tracks were recorded, but when we sang the vocals, I hated the melody and verse lyrics I wrote. So I went home with those tracks and entirely re-wrote the melody and lyrics. It was a fun exercise, and I think we saved the song, although we could not perform it again because no one really ever learned the new version after recording it. (That's Chris Enghauser getting slapped in the intro. It still cracks me up.)
WE’RE AN ITEM
(INTRO) LIKE MOM AND DAD UNDER THAT OLD APPLE TREE
I SAID I LOVED YOU AND YOU SAID YOU LOVE ME
BUT TO NAME THIS RELATIONSHIP SEEMS QUITE THE TASK
SO HERE’S WHAT I’LL SAY IF SOMEBODY SHOULD ASK…
WE’RE AN ITEM
A PAIR, A MATCH, A TWO BY TWO-FOR ONE
A DAILY DOUBLE DIP IN UNISON
LIKE A PING AND A PONG A KING AND A KONG
WE GET ALONG LIKE A DING AND A DONG
SIGNIFICANT OTHER, NEVER WANT ANOTHER
WE BELONG LIKE A SINGER AND SONG
WE’RE AN ITEM
PARTNERS IN CAHOOTS IN EVERY WAY
A DUO WHO KNOWS LOVE IS HERE TO STAY
LIKE A SEA AND A SHORE A KEY AND A DOOR
RIGHT TO THE CORE LIKE WINNIE AND EEYORE
MY NEVER SAY NEVER FOREVER AND EVER
BEHIND EACH OTHER LIKE A THREE AND A FOUR
AN ITEM..A SWEET OLD FASHIONED COUPLE
DOUBLED UP IN PASSION
LASHES BATTIN’, FLASHIN’ STARS
TURNIN’ CARTWHEELS BURNIN’ HEARTS
AN ITEM, THAT’S WHAT WE ARE..
A CHICK AND A CHAMP A LICK AND A STAMP
A KICK IN THE PANTS LIKE A DIP IN A DANCE
GIRLFRIEND, BOYFRIEND..PRIDE AND JOY FRIEND
SLICE IT, DICE IT, IT’S ROMANCE…
