perfect



Today's song is by Macho Man Randy Savage - Perfect Friend

[INTRO]
This one goes out to my real close friend and buddy
Curt Hennig A.K.A. Mr. Perfect just want to
let you know that you're missed but you'll never be forgotten
You've always been an incredible friend and we just want
you to know that we've got your back buddy
system style from Macho Man Randy Savage

This, of course is spoken. We're now ready to pay tribute to Mr. Perfect. He really was my Perfect friend.

[VERSE 1]
Hey Curt we miss you but we know you're in a better place
It's kinda hard as time goes on and I don't see your face
So I'm clinchin' and I'm holdin' on to memories
Remember the times rollin' strong just you and me
It's real hard sometimes to keep it goin' day to day
But I know you wouldn't want it any other way
So I keep it movin' doin' what I gotta do
And as a tribute I'm dedicating this song to you
[CHORUS x2]
You were my perfect friend
Right there until the end
I'm forever missin' you
Until we meet again
Can't explain this pain
Never felt like this
Mr. Perfect don't you know
That you'll be truly missed
Such a great chorus. I hope to meet some of the back up singers.
[VERSE 2]
Mr. Perfect's the name it'll never be forgotten
As long as Macho's around I'm a keep ya spot in
Wrestling history cuz you were all about perfection
It's not a mystery that wrestling was the right selection
Cuz you were one of the best very high on my list
Not just in the ring but outta the ring you're dearly missed
But your name lives on we carry on your legacy
Cuz the passion that you left with us lives on in me

I love how he says "arrrrrrouuuunnnnnd". Was his passion rapping? Having cameos in spiderman* movies?

[CHORUS x2]

[VERSE 3]
We remember Mr. Perfect (you know you'll be truly missed)
He was always in command (you know you'll be truly missed) [x3]
His greatness was so obvious
That all could understand

He brightened up a locker room (you know I'm missin' you (missin' you)
He made the time go by (how much you'll never know (never know)
He had personality (deep in our hearts we'll never ever forget you)
Gregarious, not shy

Seriously, who had to explain 'gregarious' to Macho?

He really was perfection
But now he's gone away
We're lucky to have known him
And we'll miss him everyday
Mr. Perfect


He throws in a final spoken "Mr. Perfect" at the end.

[CHORUS x3]

I hope to go here some day. Yes. This song is fucking amazing. Here is a fact that you probably already know: I listened to this song for 24 hours straight. Yeah, you can bow down to my greatness, as well as Mr. Perfect's. mabeuf said that I wouldn't. I did. I was writing a term paper and needed to stay up all night long. I went and bought a few rockstars and put this song on repeat. Acutally, it wasn't on repeat, it was a playlist that was 24 hours long, that way I could tell how long I had. Not that I ever wanted it to end. Have you ever listened to an album so much that when the first song ends you instinctivly think of the beginning melody/tune/lyrics of the next song? I can't underestimate how much I think of the beginning of THIS song when it ends. I think of the same song after it ends. It feels like a drug. It feels horrible to not listen to it again after I finish it. I think that is called addiction.

You might think I got a little lazy today with the intersplicing of commentary between verses. I didn't this song is too good for me to ruin with too much witty commentary. 


* everytime i mention that pussy spiderman i feel like i should say Batman twice. Batman.
