I cannot fall in love You'll never see my eyes I will not call you back I cannot do the smurf

Artist- Rilo Kiley
Song of the day- The Frug

So we've all gotten asked who are favorite band is. And though some say every band I mention is my favorite, the actual title goes to the perhaps dead band Rilo Kiley. Now this band has many parts, side projects, and added obsessions as my dear loyal LA friends know all too well and seen my love of music explode first hand because of this band. They are why I became a music journalist, why I started writing songs and why I know the best place to stand in the Echo, where my name might be carved in the Troubadour, and where the echoey spot at Spaceland to hear everyone's secrets are. And as my excitement builds to finally again see the loves of my musical life first hand next month in whatever side project form I can get, let me start to give some taste of what my favorite sounds like. Sure it might seem like a cheezy rock song on the surface, but with Jenny Lewis' song writer, there's always more lurking underneath. And on certain days I'm still pretty confident this entire list of a song is about me, and we all know how much I love lists. Must haves- songs starting mid sentence, clapping, wit, mention of food, brutal honesty mixed with the mundane, and dancing...there must be dancing. If someone can show me how to do the smurf, I will forever be grateful.



And I can do the frug
I can do the Robocop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf
And I can hate your girl
I can tell you that she's real pretty
I can take my clothes off
I cannot fall in love

And I can do the frug
I can do the Robocop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf

And I can watch TV
I can shuffle off to Buffalo
I can do a backbend
I will not call you back
And I can start a book
I can make some mac and cheese
I can sleep twelve hours
You'll never see my eyes

Chorus


And I can hate your girl
I can tell you that she's real pretty
I can take my clothes off
I cannot fall in love
You'll never see my eyes
I will not call you back
I cannot do the smurf
I cannot fall in love
I'll never fall in love
I cannot fall in love...

Chorus
