WIPE AWAY THE TEARS! IT’S THE SHAGGS!

Whenever the world seems to weigh you down, or when you feel lonely or you’ve got the early morning blues, when life seems bereft of meaning, or people treat you meanly, well, there is a remedy. Listen to The Shaggs. The Shaggs were a sixties American rock band from New Hampshire. Four sisters Dorothy "Dot" Wiggin (vocals and lead guitar), Betty Wiggin (vocals and rhythm guitar), Helen Wiggin (drums) and, later, Rachel Wiggin (bass guitar). Their music has been described as both among the worst of all time and a work of unintentional brilliance. Unintentional brilliance, indeed! Love Susie. x

The Philosophy of the World

Oh, the rich people want what the poor people's got

And the poor people want what the rich people's got

And the skinny people want what the fat people's got

And the fat people want what the skinny people's got

You can never please anybody in this world

The short people want what the tall people's got

And the tall people want what the short people's got

The little kids want what the big kid's got

And the big kids want what the little kid's got

You can never please anybody in this world

Oh, the girls with short hair want long hair

And the girls with long hair want short hair

Oh, the boys with cars want motorcycles

And the boys with motorcycles want cars

You can never please anybody in this world

It doesn't matter what you do

It doesn't matter what you say

There will always be

One who wants things the opposite way

It doesn't matter where you go

It doesn't matter who you see

There will always be

Someone who disagrees

We do our best

We try to please

But we're like the rest

We are never at ease

Oh, the rich people want what the poor people's got

And the poor people want what the rich people's got

And the skinny people want what the fat people's got

And the fat people want what the skinny people's got

You can never please anybody in this world
