Lyrics without distraction HERE
In 1993, the Canadian folk-rock band "Crash Test Dummies" released their second album "God Shuffled His Feet", their most successful up to date. Most likely, it's going to stay that way: Roberts have decided not to write more albums; they only result in a loss since streaming became common. It's a pity, but a fact.
This ridiculous song, released as a single - with a meaning deeper than the crazy surface - captured the world. The kids caught that I had a voice as dark and dry as Robert's, and went mmmmmming around me all the time to annoy me ... Jeez! I just *had* to adopt it.
Roberts can seemingly write songs about anything or nothing. Now living in New York, he started up a school for aspiring songwriters. Though nowadays, he prefers collaborating with other musicians, and going on stage. And the Dummies also still do so, every now and then ... now, writing 2024.
