No Ashley

from 11​:​59 by Tinnitis

/

about

1998 pre-Tinnitis 4-track recording. Reaction to nearly a decade of an overactive trend of naming baby girls "Ashley", which, before 1989, was traditionally a boys' name. Spoofing bubble gum angst that Curt Kobane started. AndySocial of The Sheckies plays guitar on this track, on his request! Note that the vocals\ tracks are sang live and are not the result of any processing or editing tricks. The synths in the last four stanzas are the same melody played at the beginning of "Walk Like A Muppet", written and recorded by AndySocial and MC Tourettes and, mocking their own song first recorded almost a decade earlier!

lyrics

Generation W
always troubles you
Generation X
It's politically correct
For Generation X
TO have a lot o s-eX (allusion to disco band S-Express)
As if the thing protects
while they cash their checks

Generation X
Yields Generation Y
Chromosome of Y
Meets Chromosome of Y
Someone tell me Why
Why Why Why?

1990 baby
1991 baby
1992 baby
1993 baby
All their names are samey
So so cochamamie

Don't you even say it!
I hate the name
I hate the name Ashley!

CHORUS:
No Ashley!
No Ashley!
No Ashley!
No Ashley!
No!

(No Ashley
No Ashley
No Ashley
No Ashley
No! (2x)

VERSE 2, much like the first

Girls with names like boys
Boys with names like girls
It's a mixed-up world
It's a muddled up world
It's an Ashley world

Oh no, I just said it
In the sentence
That word... that word...
Ashley!

CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
