Jim Adams' Song Lyric Sunday gives us the chance to share familiar, and sometimes not so familiar, songs. This week the prompt is to find a song that may include, or reference, one of the following: School, College, Education, Class, Degree.

 If you fancy sharing one of your favourite songs you can find out how to participate, and also listen to all the great entries, here.

So many to choose from, but I think I may have found one that most will not have heard before.  It's fun.  It's slightly rude.  It's very new, and I love it.  

Wet Leg formed in 2019 and they have released two singles, "Chaise Longue" and "Wet Dream", with the first gaining media notice for earning millions of streams and video views. Variety noted, "It's rare that a new group releases two songs and they're both great". The duo has scheduled a US tour to begin in December 2021. They appeared on Later... with Jools Holland on BBC2, on 30 October 2021, a pretty good indicator that they are likely to be successful, and that is the version that follows below.

Sometimes BBC videos are made unavailable outside of the UK so there are some other versions below.  First, the Official video, followed by live performances at Live at Night and Day Manchester 23.10.21, and the Green Man Festival 2021. You don't get much more current than these!  

The performers enjoy what they do even more than the audiences and this song makes me smile every time I see and hear it.  I hope you enjoy it too!

The Official Video

Live at Night & Day Manchester 23 Oct 2021. Pete Eastwood commented: "If you mix Patty Simcox from Grease with Mary out of Coronation St, and throw in some mad crazy lyrics, you end up with hot new band Wet Leg. I don't think I have ever seen Night & Day that rammed before, but when you get signed to Domino and bag a tour of America, after only 4 gigs, you have to start to believe the hype. Also, you have to be impressed when their nail varnish matched their plectrum. (Effort 💚) In first, front row, and proper enjoyed."

Chaise Longue

Wet Leg

Mommy, daddy, look at me
I went to school and I got a degree
All my friends call it "the big D"
I went to school and I got the big D
I got the big D
I got the big D
I got the big D
I went to school and I got the big D

Is your muffin buttered?
Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?
Excuse me (what?)
Excuse me (what?)
Hey you, over there
On the chaise longue in your underwear
What are you doing sitting down?
You should be horizontal now

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue

Is your mother worried?
Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?
Excuse me (what?)
Excuse me (what?)
Hey you, in the front row
Are you coming backstage after the show?
Because I've got a chaise longue in my dressing room
And a pack of warm beer that we can consume

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue

All day long, all day long, on the chaise longue
All day long, all day long, on the chaise longue
All day long, all day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue
