Story Behind The Song
The basic track of rhythm guitar, bass and drums was recorded live and improvised. Listening to the playback, David started singing, "Smear me with porridge," Artie answered, "Lick it up." Bob added, "And play that strange chord again." All three contributed to the spoken parts. Then, massive over dubbing: all three + Michael MacFall singing, with Bob and Artie contributing spoken parts, Artie added steel drums and sitar-synth.
So, these three friends ... who never worked together in a band before -- but worked had paired-up in seperate projects over the years -- had a fist full of improvised songs, but no name for the band.
Artie noticed that one could spell BAD several ways from the credits:
Bob / Artie / Dave = BAD
Brown / Amm / DeMonte = BAD
Bass / Axe / Drums = BAD
3BAD
Song Description
Ignore the "genre" from above. This is full blown comedy-rock, which is not an option to choose from in Broadjam's long list of choices. This track will give a listener "laugh-face," that medical condition when one's face becomes achy from laughing.

Smear me with porridge, smear me with porridge
Smear me with porridge, smear me with porridge
Lick it up, lick it up, lick it up, lick it up
Play that strange chord again, play that strange chord again
(Repeat constantly) Spoken part:
Up and down & lick it all around, in and out, just lick it all about! / It's so strange, weirdness & strange! / Smear it in my hair, smear it in my underwear. / Around my eyes and in my mind / Round and around make it upside down / Back and forth and south to north / It's so strange, it's so strange / Smelly and funky strange / Play it upside down / I gotta funk that beauty lip / Ah, them lips / Long wet lips / Up and down lick it all around / In and out then swirl it all about, now / It's so strange / It's sit down strange / So weird and funky / I got a pot of porridge for you, baby / Round and round and upside down / Back and forth and south and north / Lick it all, lick it all / Here it goes again / That's weird and gooey, babe / A quad-dexterous bar-pinkie thingie thongie / Smear me with porridge / Smear me with porridge / Smear me with porridge / Smear me, baby / It's not perverted ... it's ... it's ... charming ... that's all ... how sweet ... and loving ... yup.
