Paul Wilson sings “All Right Guy”"},"content":{"rendered":"

Last night at the Gory Ghoul Ball, F. Paul Wilson sang the Tom Snider song “All Right Guy.” What’s that, you say? You missed it? Too bad. If only there was a way for you to have been there. <\/p>\n

Wait! There is. Unfortunately for Paul, I<\/i> happened to be there.<\/p>\n

The room was dark, so the footage isn’t as clear as I’d wish, and the camera gets a little shaky near the beginning, when I’m moving to avoid letting the dancers drift into the frame. But hey, it’s better than not getting to hear Paul sing and play the guitar at all.<\/p>\n

For those wishing to follow along, here are the lyrics (the official ones, anyway):<\/p>\n

Well just the other day, I was sitting around in my house.
\nI had that new book with pictures of Madonna naked.
\nI was checking it out.
\nWell, just then a friend of mine came through the door,
\nShe said she’d never pegged me for a scumbag before.
\nShe said she didn’t ever want to see me any more,
\nAnd I still don’t know why!
\nI think I’m an all right guy.
\nI think I’m an all right guy.
\nI just want to live until I’ve got to die.
\nI know I ain’t perfect, but God knows I try.
\nI think I’m an all right guy.
\nI think I’m all right.
\nWell maybe I’m dirty and maybe I smoke a little dope.
\nBut it ain’t like I’m going on TV
\ntearing up pictures of the Pope.
\nAnd I know I get wild and I know I get drunk,
\nBut it ain’t like I’ve got a bunch of bodies in my trunk.
\nMy old man used to call me a no-good punk,
\nAnd I still don’t know why!
\nI think I’m an all right guy.
\nI think I’m an all right guy.
\nI just want to live until I’ve got to die.
\nI know I ain’t perfect, but God knows I try.
\nI think I’m an all right guy.
\nI think I’m all right.
\nWell, the other night, The cops pulled me over outside a bar.
\nThey turned on the lights,and ordered me out of my car.
\nWell, I was only kidding when I
\ncalled them a couple of dicks,
\nBut still they made me do the Stupid Human Tricks.
\nNow I’m stuck in this jail with a bunch of dumb hicks,
\nAnd I still don’t know why!
\nI think I’m an all right guy.
\nI think I’m an all right guy.
\nI just want to live until I’ve got to die.
\nI know I ain’t perfect, but God knows I try.
\nI think I’m an all right guy.
\nI think I’m all right.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
