The Big Ol' Bug Is the New Baby Now (Stereo Remix)

The Big Ol' Bug Is The New Baby Now (Stereo Remix) - The Flaming Lips (烈焰紅脣)

We have three dogs that love to chew stuff up

So we're always gettin' them some toys

And stuffed animals and stuff

So they can destroy them

And usually whatever we get

Is shred to pieces within a couple of days

And one day I noticed that this stuffed animal

That we had gotten

They had had it for about a week

Had remained relatively unharmed

A little bit dirty but it really didn't have any damage

So I was kind of watchin' them for the next couple of days

And I noticed that for some weird reason

This little stuffed animal seemed like

They all liked it for some weird reason

It was special to them and not only did they not chew it up

They sort of made it seem like it was their baby

They treated as though it was their own baby

So I thought "this is weird "

How strange this is

Of all the toys and things that we get for them

For some weird reason this one

It wasn't really any different from the rest

This one is picked to be special

So there you go

So some time passed and one day

I noticed that this box of "big plastic insects "

That I had been keeping on a shelf in the bathroom

Had some how fallen down

And unfortunately it looked as though

The dogs had already chewed up most of the stuff in it

The big giant spiders ants

And cockroaches and stuff that were in it

And as I walked around the house

Picking up the shredded pieces of these plastic insects

I can across the baby you know

Their stuffed animal baby

And there it was just torn to shreds

Like everything else - all the other stuff

Finally this one was torn to shreds

So later on I came across one of the giant grasshoppers

That for some reason hadn't been chewed up at all

Not even as much as a small tooth mark

So I watch and it occurs to me

That for some reason their affections have changed

And I can plainly see that instead of the stuffed animal

The big ol' bug is the new baby now

The big ol' bug is the new baby now

The big ol' bug is the new baby now

The big ol' bug is the new baby now

The big ol' bug is the new baby now

The big ol' bug is the new baby now
