Title: I'm HIgh!
Post by: Tieoptional on Jul 06, 2008, 07:38 PM
On Highly Suspicious, Jim's evil, deranged, hysterical laugh, starts each time after he sings "I'm high..." It fits perfectly and sounds like he is having a great time. I know I do listening to the song.

Peanut butter pudding surprise? Peanut butter pudding would probably taste pretty good if you have ever had the "munchies."

To the so-called sophisticated music critics who panned this song, you just don't get it - and from here on out, your reviews will likewise be "highly suspicious."

Then again, maybe I am way off base, but I find "Highly Suspiscious" to be a highly satirical song, about a whole bunch of stuff...

Thoughts?

Ha, you provided the clue to understand this song! Jim does indeed sing 'I'm high...' so often, he probably was when he wrote that song.

I think it's a cool song, but sequenced at a really bad time. It totally fucks up the mood and the flow of the album, right after the beauty of 'Touch me p.t 1'. Would have been a wicked closer, or bonus track, or b-side. But sucks where it is now.

But hey, what am I babbling about this so late, after hundreds of people have said almost anything you can say about that song here. Oh well, I've never been a downloader, so it's my own fault. Just walk on, nothing to see here! :)
