What the Stink was all about in Washington DC
What the Stink was all about in Washington DC
Hexagon performs Stink during Midterm Madness
Hexagon is a musical comedy political satire troupe in Washington DC who puts on original variety shows every year. Doxter S was working with Hexagon in 2013 – 2014 writing some original songs, including Stink and Mr. ED. Stink was included in Hexagon’s show Midterm Madness in 2014. Stink was performed as a dance number, although I envisioned a giant Stink Bug singing a solo with the vocal character of Barry White.
I was certainly pleased to have my song selected for performance by Hexagon in 2014, and I understood the importance of allowing the director and producer to use my material as they saw fit. I never envisioned a dance number. Maybe Stink bugs flying around the auditorium, like they do in my bedroom at night.
Here are the lyrics:
UP ON CAPITOL HILL THEY GOT INTO A FIGHT, TRIED TO DEFUND OBAMA THEY FOUGHT THROUGH THE NIGHT
MISTERS BOEHNER AND REED THOUGHT THE OTHER WOULD BLINK, NEITHER SIDE WOULD CONCEDE AND IT STARTED TO STINK
LIKE A STINK BUG I’M HANGING AROUND YOUR DOOR, SO DON’T GIVE ME NO TROUBLE OR I’LL JUST STINK SOME MORE
YOU POLITICAL TYPES YOU SEEK POWER AND FAME, WHEN YOU BREAK DOWN THE HYPE YOU’LL SEE WE’RE THE SAME
WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR YOU’LL BE LOOKING AT ME, WE GOT SOMETHING IN COMMON WE BOTH STINK UP DC
I’M AN INVASIVE SPECIES I JUST MOVED TO DC, THE PLACE SMELLED LIKE FECES THAT WAS PERFECT FOR ME
I’M A SPACE INVADER I’M INVADING YOUR SPACE, MOVING INTO YOUR HOMES FROM MCLEAN TO CHEVY CHASE
ADAMS MORGAN DEL RAY SILVER SPRING COLLEGE PARK, I’LL MOVE IN IN THE FALL WHEN IT STARTS GETTING DARK
I’LL BE JOINING DAN SNYDER AND HIS FRIEND RG3, IF THEIR SEASON’S STINKING THEY CAN BLAME IT ON ME
IM ATTRACTED TO LIGHT WHEN I’M FLYING AROUND IN YOUR BEDROOM AT NIGHT MAKING MY BUZZING SOUND
CAN’T CONTROL YOUR TV CAUSE I’M ON THE REMOTE, I’LL BE THERE AT THE POLLS WHEN YOU GO IN TO VOTE
I’M A STINK BUG, I STINK THEREFORE I AM, I JUST MOVED INTO DC RIGHT WERE THE WHOLE STINK BEGAN
