    I mean, like "Bangs" just fine but WOW I really feel like we missed out by not getting this version. This feels like it'd be right at home on I Like Fun.

    I helped a snapping turtle cross the street earlier this week and this song came to mind. Thanks Johns

    I just want to let everyone know that the SoulSeek boot is noticeably pitched up for some reason, which is why this upload is high pitched. I artificially pitched it down before uploading it. If you want to hear the right pitch, check out the link in Ensenada’s pinned comment. So yeah just throwing that out there

    Apparently, the lyrics are based on a short story called The Man Who Shot Snapping Turtles

      I wonder if this has anything to do with their collab with McSweeney's.

      If I had a pound for every time Linell adapted a 19th century short story into a song, I'd have at least £2.

      Late 90s-early 00s. SoulSeek boot says all of the songs are from 1998, however that is not true, as many of the songs are clearly from later dates. So I’m not really sure.

      Once there was a man named Stryker
      Who had a pond with ducks
      And snapping turtles in it
      Ducks are food for snapping turtles
      They swim around in circles
      Till the turtles get them
      And he vainly tried to
      Save the ducks from snapping turtles
      And as far as he could tell
      Turtles embodied evil
      Then he got some information
      A man who drank too much would
      Help him market snapping turtle soup
      Once there was a man named Stryker
      Who had a pond with only
      Snapping turtles in it
      And in time he changed his mind
      About those snapping turtles
      And he ran his business
      With the turtles as example
      And the drunk who sold the soup
      Beheld the man named Stryker
      And he felt he was a duck
      And Striker was a turtle
      Then the drunk took
      Stryker's rifle
      The one that Stryker used
      To shoot the snapping turtles
      And the drunk who sold the soup
      Beheld the man named Stryker
      And he felt he was a duck
      And Stryker was a turtle
      And he vainly tried to
      Save the ducks from snapping turtles
      And as far as he could tell
      Turtles embodied evil

    Too bad this is SO niche, cause “as far as he could tell, ___ embody evil” is a great meme format, eh?
