If I Was A Mekon

no video.  However, you can see more of Too Much Joy here, and you should.  This song is based on their experiences on a tour with the Mekons, and features some Jon Langford talking about TMJ.

Of course, I have seen them live, at Shank Hall.  On the tour for the album in which the liner notes said "thank you to Die Kreuzen, for being our entire audience whenever we play Milwaukee."  Except for me, guys, except for me.  I even had one of their shirts that said "Too Much Fucking Joy".

They grew up.

You all need to go get some of their music.  Right now.

If I was a Mekon
I’d drink pints of beer
If I was a Mekon
And talk about Adorno
If I was a Mekon
I’d have a lot of friends
If I was a Mekon
Everything would be ok
I’d have a lot to say
No one would look at me that way

And a Mekon is a really good thing
A Mekon is a really good thing
A Mekon is a really good thing to be

Let me be a Mekon
If I was a Mekon
I would be from Leeds
If I was a Mekon
Maybe I could sleep with Sally
If I was a Mekon
Or Tommy one night in Chicago
If I was a Mekon
We’d smile a lot the next day
We’d never talk about it again
But we’d be that much closer friends

And a Mekon is a really good thing
A Mekon is a really good thing
A Mekon is a really good thing to be

 Also.  This.  THIS.
