Lyrics:Aphid Manure Heist [Version (a)]:
Amanda, light of a man's life
Make sure faith in the light
Made her the greatest woman
The greatest woman, to be the man's greatest wife
I thought it all over, Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful great struggle in any man's life
To look in the mirror in total surprise
At the great hair on her shoulders
And the great big big beautiful beautiful eyes
Aman...
The Song:"Aphid Manure Heist" is a cover of Waylon Jenning's song, "Amanda." Jennings' orginal is not quite so corny as it is presented on
Stereopathetic. Scratch that, it kind of is.
I'm not sure who the singer is on this song. Maybe it's Beck sped up? The music seems to be some generic karoake sounds too, I wonder where it came from.
I also have no idea what "Aphid Manure Heist" could possibly mean or refer. I assume it's just a random surreal phrase used as a title.
So many questions, not enough answers!
Also Beck used a snippet of this recording on one of the versions of
Don't Get Bent Out Of Shape.
