SQUISH - BIG RED VAN ORIGINATION: Well, it's like the first verse says: my best friend and I were walking down the school parking lot, and -- via my super-ADDness -- my glance wandered to see a big red van parked, followed soon by my mind, away from the conversation to the van, thinking "hey, wouldn't it be cool to have a big red van?" So i my friend that, and he picked up on the rhythm of the phrase, and said it would be cool to have a song with two guys just going "wouldn't it be cool to have a big red van?" Wo we figured we'd be those guys. And here's the song, cept with only me. Verse: C walkin down the parkin lot, G talkin with my C friend, (3x) ...I Dm turned to him and G7 said /...somethin Dm really big and G7 tall Chorus: C wouldn't it be cool to have a G big red C van etc Walkin down the parkin lot, talkin with my friend Strollin tween a stream of cars headin for the end I was about to say a word but looked aside instead To see right there a big red van; i turned to him and said: Oh wouldn't it be cool to have a big red van And drive all over town, cause then you'd be the man Yeah wouldn't it be cool to have a big red van Take it to the beach, pick up chicks in the sand I guess it would be cool, but a van's still kinda small What if you could ride on somethin really big and tall Not a truck or army tank but even somethin more Oh what if you could ride a big gigantic dinosour Take it into boston, and stomp down storough drive Traffic's now a breeze, just keep pedestrians alive You can smash the parking meters, don't even need a dime And if the dino needs a snack, he can eat the citgo sign Oh wouldn't it be cool to have a big t rex And stomp all over boston, and really make a mess Oh wouldn't it be cool to have a big t rex Cause then the girls would love ya, and you'd get lots of sex Oh i want to be wild I don't want to ride no automobile I don't want to ride no car But a dino's on the ground with the chickens and the cows I'd rather ride the air, ride a creature through the clouds I know of just the thing, and i'll give ya just one hint It's big and grey and bubbly and it's called the good year blimp Yeah wouldn't it be cool, yeah, to be above it all Look down on your whole town, just be careful not to fall You could take all of your friends up for a party in the sky Don't need the marijuana, cause you're already high Yeah wouldn't it be cool to have a good year blimp Grey of course but with a purple polka-dotted tint Yeah wouldn't it be cool to have a good year blimp Just wish i had the money, i have pockets full of lint! Oh i want to be wild I don't want to ride no automobile I don't want to drive no car Walkin down the parkin lot, talkin with my freind Strollin tween a stream of cars headin for the end I was about to say a word but looked aside instead To see right there a big red van; i turned to him and said: Oh wouldn't it be cool to have a big red van Wouldn't it be cool to have a big red van Wouldn't it be cool to have a big red van Yeah wouldn't it be wouldn't it be wouldn't it be cool Wouldn't it be wouldn't it be wouldn't it be cool Wouldn't it be wouldn't it be wouldn't it be wouldn't it be cool FRIEND, PLEASE CONSIDER : Every day hundreds of big red vans are neglected and abused. They get thrown into junkyards because they're old and not wanted or loved anymore. Our song may be funny, but the seriousness of this growing problem is not.
