A Real Revolution

For Independence Day I thought I'd share this little gem (MP3) I discovered years ago on a thrift shop cassette. Apparently recorded as an "aural invite", this re-working of The Beatles Revolution is guaranteed to get John Lennon spinning in his grave.

So you can sing along at home, I've transcribed the lyrics:

You know we have the right solution - well you know -
we all love the Slim-Fast plan.
Guaranteed health & nutrition - well you know -
you can trust the goodness in a can.
And when you talk about weight-reduction
don't you know that you can count us in.

Don't you know we love to be
So slim... (x3)

You know that it's a revolution
have you heard
about the latest Slim-Fast lines
boffo pretzel twists & cheese curls,
frozen entrees - delicious frozen de-lite.
For only thirty-eight dollars & fifty cents a week
you can have all the Slim-Fast that you can eat.

Don't you know we love to be
So slim... (x3)

BOFFO pretzel twists?

I love the jarbled "$38.50 cents a week" trying to fit in a those syllables.

[countrygrrl]

pretty awful...no proper scanning or even in toon...but fab for this reason...what is the name of the band???

[Chris T.]

The band is uncredited on the cassette, for obvious reasons. I've always called them "The Eatles" - but you're welcome to come up with your own name.
