D C See Caroline all the guys would say she's mighty fine Bm Am But mighty fine only got you somewhere half the time G F Em D C And the other half either got you cursed out, or coming up short B7 Yeah, now dig this, now Em Even though D C You'd need a golden calculator to divide F Em The time it takes to look inside and realise that D F C B7 Real guys go for real down to Mars girls, yeah!

[Chorus] Em D I know you'd like to thank your shit don't stank C But lean a little bit closer Bm Am See that roses really smell like poo-oo-ooo G F Em D C B7 Yeah, roses really smell like poo-oo-ooo Em D I know you'd like to thank your shit don't stank C But lean a little bit closer F Em See that roses really smell like poo-oo-ooo D F C B7 Yeah, roses really smell like poo-oo-ooo [Verse] Em Well she's got a hotty body, but her attitude is potty D When I met her at a party she was hardly acting naughty C I said "Shorty, would you call me?"

Let’s take a look at something:
It’s 2004,
You come home from school, backpack heavy and folded Razor-scooter in hand.
You carelessly throw them in the closet and head straight to the fridge.
Then, you grab a Capri Sun — Pacific Cooler — and a pack of Little Debbie Nutty Bars from the freezer.
You sit down in the living room, with the big, 32-inch tube TV.
Grab the greasy remote, turn on the TV, change the channel.
Right on time.
TRL with Carson Daily is on, and they’re about to play number 7: Roses by OutKast.
Life is…
===
That was more or less my daily ritual during my formative years.
No wonder I got so fat…
Do you ever think it’s weird when you still like the same songs as when you were a kid?
I remember two of my first CD’s were: Sum 41’s All Killer No Filler and System Of A Down’s Toxicity.
I still go back to those albums every once in a while.
And I can still sing practically every word of Fat Lip and Chop Suey.
To me, they’re still good. Quality doesn’t age.
Unlike me…
Now, get your special, priority access, first-look at my new cover here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl_3jJ1P2EU
Feel free to leave a like or comment or show it to someone you hate named, “Caroline”.
Cheerios,
Dylan
P.S. After this email, I’m going to start emailing from a broadcast using my new address: dylan@dylansantiagomusic.com
Just a heads up to keep an eye out, and you can add the email now to your contacts to prevent it from ever going into the spam folder.
Thanks.
