Story Behind The Song

Inspired by a 'quick' trip to the store to go grab some tooth paste, and encountering a mile-long 10 foot high wall of toothpaste choices got me thinking....

Song Description

Ahhh...so many choices in life, even in the simple every day things. Which one will we choose?

Lyrics

Walking through the grocery store searching for a tube of toothpaste
Finally find the aisle that?ll clean my coffee smile
But I?ll have to stay awhile, cause of all the choices in front of my face (there?s more choices than I have teeth?.)

And which one will I choose?
Cause they all say that 3 outta four dentist recommend I use
(chorus)
This one, not that one. This one, not that one.

Now I got my teeth clean, I?m sucked in like a tractor beam
To check out all the magazines that convince me of what I need to be happy.
I?m looking at the choices there, trying hard not to stare
At all the pretty women there smiling at me w/ their perfect teeth
and I ask myself?

Which one, would I choose
Cause they?re all just sitting out like objects
For some monkey like me to use ? will it be
(chorus)
This one, not that one. The skinny one, not the fat one?.

When I think of all the time we waste deciding on which taste to taste
But never really tasting what's already in our mouths to savor
Sometimes I wish I was a socialist, I?d throw away my grocery list
Then at least I?d waste my time standing in line with my neighbor

Enjoying the breeze, not knowing what they?ll give me
But still saying please, and thank you for

(chorus)
This one and that one. This one and that one.
