Bagel Opus #1

-opening do do do section-

Does anyone remember in Back To The Future 2  (This is a testament to the fans of the Back To The Future Trilogy who have encountered this dilemma while trying to create one huge movie out of the separate three.)
when Jennifer was replaced by Elizabeth Shue
She didn't know what to do  (, and neither did we.)

da da da da da da da da da da torpedo  (An offhanded nod to Ben's knowledge of theater.  The  da da's represent the hopelessness of more recent works of the stage, such as Waiting For Godot, for example.)
da da da da da da da da da da da da da libido
da da da da da da da Speedo  (We felt that the swimming reference here would fit nicely with the two previous images.)

-do do do-

Freddy and that kid TeeJay
that all had a lot to say
in their presidential way  (Two of our most well spoken friends, who might never have a shot at the presidency, because of the impending doom of George W. Bush, who will surely be the bullet in our country's skull.)

I've always enjoyed a good ROLO!  (We like to boogie to the beat of a different drummer; Mike.  The original drummer for the group, Rolo Johnston, would never have been able to play such outrageous material.  We later found out that ROLO is also the name of a chocolate candy which is about as popular as our band is real.)
but not as much as an outrageous snare solo

-do do do-

It was really hard to write this bridge
but we really felt obliged  (Always pushing the envelope, we felt it necessary to rhyme this formerly "unrhymable" word, and expand the boundaries of the English language itself.)
 

-Aaron's interlude-

-do do do-

I just lost my pick in my guitar
there go my dreams of ever being a star
they didn't get very far  (After much dreaming, Ben is brought back to reality when he once again finds himself plagued by the true-life burdens of the everyday recording artist.)

We've often been compared to the Beatles  (The band has been fighting off Beatles comparisons since its formation in 1999.  Aaron, the 'Ringo' of the group was even mistaken for a member of the Fab Four at a grocery store last January.  Luckily, Mark, the "silent Good Look," was on hand to help him fight off the screaming girls.)
but we play just a little bit better then the Beatles
and we write better songs

Summary: Mainly, Opus #1 serves as a sort of burst into the world by BEN FLASH AND HIS BOYISH GOOD LOOKS.  Including lots of autobiographical insight, this opus is sort of a get to know you piece, much like the little known piece, performed as a side project of Ben, Mark, and Mike's, called, "HI."
