bury me in this dress

I was channel surfing the telly when I saw Ratz on Kids Co. I enjoyed that movie so I watched it again. It’s a teeny bopper direct-to-tv movie about a ring which grants wishes. I like it because of the cute rat boys (Spike and Scooter) and the soundtrack. I like Candypants’ “Dishy” in particular. It’s the song played during the end credits.

Boys, like chicken, hard to eat
But I think boys are awfully sweet
Tender like a baby ham
Sticky with pineapple jam
Sniff the heady pink perfume
Clear your plate to make some room

Boys a super crunchy treat
Make a cookie hard to beat
Butter up and bake ’em through
Like a chewy macaroon
Tease the palate with a kiss
Then the kettle starts to hiss

I’m so hungry when I see
a juicy boy in front of me
Give me three square meals a day
with boy as side dish and entree

Some boys quick like Sugar Pops
Pour the milk and scoop it up
Others simmer all day long
Bubble up and burn your tongue
Any way they’re done is right
Smack your lips and take a bite

I’m so hungry when I see a
dishy boy in front of me
Give me three hot meals a day
of boy fondue and boy fillet

I don’t want a sirloin steak
Don’t give me a chocolate cake
What my tummy needs the most
Is creamy boy spread on my toast
When he’s nibbled to the core
Please, sir, may I have some more?

I don’t know much about the band Candypants. I’m not even sure if the band still exists. Their myspace page isn’t much help but I read that they’re from Los Angeles and their self-titled album was released by Sympathy for the Record Industry. If I’m not mistaken, I’ve been to their store when I was in Olympia, Washington and bought tons of CDs and zines. Anyhoo, “Dishy” is so fun to listen to and the lyric is perfect.
