One of the great songsmiths of our time.

Tombot is The Ram.

But not me, must be some other Scorpio.

KICK THAT BUTT
by Harvey Sid Fisher
harveysidfisher.com
IF YOU'RE UNDER EIGHTEEN AND YOU'RE SMOKING
THEN I'M TALKING TO YOU

YOU CAN LAUGH YOU CAN LISTEN YOU CAN LEAVE
DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO

DON'T MEAN TO CAUSE OFFENSE BUT IT DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE
IF YOU THINK THAT TOBACCO IS COOL

THE FRONT END OF THE BUTT IS PLAYIN WITH FIRE
AND THE BACK END OF THE BUTT IS A BUTT HEAD FOOL

I WILL SPELL IT OUT I WILL YELL IT OUT
COMPREHEND THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE

I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW BUT I WILL SAY IT REAL SLOW
CIGARETTES HAS A WARRNIING LABEL

CHORUS:

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP IT
BE SMART DROP DROP DROP DROP DROP IT DON'T START

STAY OUT OF THAT RUT RUT RUT RUT RUT
KICK THAT BUTT KICK THAT BUTT KICK THAT BUTT

YOU MAY THINK THAT TOBACCO IS SAFE AS YOU PUFF PUFF AWAY

CAUSE YOU'RE FEELING OKAY NOTHING'S WRONG
THERE'S NO PROBLEM TODAY

ALL THE MEDICAL TESTIMONY YOU THINK IT'S BALONEY
YOU KNOW IT ALL AND THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT

YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS YOU GOT YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND
YOU'RE BLOWIN SMOKE UP YOUR YOU KNOW WHAT

YOU THINK YOU CAN PUFF THAT TRAGIC DRAG
AND YOU'LL STOP ANYTIME YOU WANT BUT WILL YOU

PUTTING UP MONEY TO BUY CIGARETTES
IS LIKE PAYING SOMEONE TO KILLLLLLLL YOU

CHORUS: STOP STOP STOP.......KICK THAT BUTT......

BRIDGE:
TOBACCO'S A TIME BOMB, IT WILL DO YOU HARM

HERE'S YOUR WAKE UP CALL, HERE'S YOUR SMOKE ALARM

IF YOU FIND IT HARD TO QUIT
DON'T BE BEAT 'N DON'T BE WEAK 'N DON'T SUBMIT

THINK ABOUT THE DAMAGE YOU ARE DOING
BEFORE YOU TAKE ANOTHER HIT

GET SOME HELP MAKE A CALL GET BACK UP IF YOU FALL
GET UP AND GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY

AND IF YOU FAIL MY FRIEND YOU JUST GET BACK UP AGAIN
AND YOU TRY TRY TRY NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER SAY DIE

I WISH YOU ALL GOOD HEALTH AND LONG LONG LIFE
MAY YOUR EVERY LOVING DREAM COME TRUE

SMOKING MAY NOT BE THE END OF THE WORLD
BUT WHY GAMBLE THAT IT COULD BE THE ENNND OF YOU

CHORUS: STOP STOP STOP......KICK THAT BUTT

My friend Malcom got Harvey to go on tour some years back. They came to Philly and rocked the house. The place was packed! And Harvey is a true gent.

I was about to send a check to him for a copy of his CD and DVD of Astrology songs, but then I found I had no stamps. THUS, I am going to send him the check next Monday, along with a CD of me and my drum machine (and other instruments (READ: VOCODER AND GUITARS)) covering the ARIES song. I hope he likes it.

he has a standing engagement at the Taix Lounge in Los Angeles, for anyone visiting. I remember they used to play clips of him on the Daily Show(Craig Kilborne days) hilarious.

HSF played two shows in SF on friday night but i was out of commision.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 00:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i know one of his backup singers

Well, fuck, man. Give us the goddamn story.

Hi gygas!

― why do old people and old users of ILX such bastardos (deangulberry), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 01:15 (twenty-one years ago)

he was perpetually on public access TV when i lived in LA 10 years ago.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 01:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Me and Wifey do a killer "Virgo"

We LOVELOVELOVE him. I actually dismissed astrology my whole life until I heard that album. Now I think there may be a little something to it. True goddamm story. Except for the "saving sprees" part, that Virgo song is me to a T, brothers and sisters.

There's a DVD??

I saw THE THINKING FELLERS UNION LOCAL 282 back Harvey in the mid-late 90s.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 01:52 (twenty-one years ago)

They knew all of the songs (and a lot of the dance moves).

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 01:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I forgot to play the HSF album.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 01:57 (twenty-one years ago)

hold up - what's this about a DVD??

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 02:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I just ordered it. Psytched. Has anyone seen it?

Has anyone heard his "25 Songs" CD? I want it but I'm broke right now.

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 02:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Hstencil you don't deserve that record.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I tried to book him at the Pilot Light and his guarantee/rider was out of control. He was incredibly persistent, though, and emailed me for weeks, every single day. Sheesh.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh ma, I've seen the video collection for the Astrology songs, is that the DVD? I was hoping it was a documentary or something.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember they used to play clips of him on the Daily Show(Craig Kilborne days) hilarious.

Is this true?! If so, Craig Kilborne was more of a knock-off of Greg Kinnear (who used to play clips of HSF on Later all the time) than I ever imagined.

― Vic Funk, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

ouch, that's mean gygax!.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

it's tough love, and it's coming out to get you.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

but the Daily Show use of HSF predates GK's show to the best of my knowledge. I should note that you've called into doubt my recollection of it being definitively the Daily Show where I saw it, though I'm sure it wasn't Later, which I watched all of twice if that.
I have absolutely no vested interest in who's correct,
yet I await resolution with baited breath.
