The Beets (from "Doug")

***YDload*** · 03-01-2004, 07:03 PM

This is a fictional band, but their sound is still so awesome and unique that I can't help but praise them on here. What's the deal with a band made up just for a cartoon show being better than half the modern rock and nu-metal junk that's so popular today?

Songs include "Killer Tofu," "I Need Mo' Allowance," and "Shout Your Lungs Out." The band members include Monroe Yoder and Chap Lipman (great name!)

What are your thoughts on them?

***Zappa*** · 03-01-2004, 07:34 PM

They rock.

***YDload*** · 03-01-2004, 07:43 PM

^ For some reason I can never remember that song. The most obscure thing I can remember is that on the album cover "Beets Me" you can see a microscopic photo of Chap Lipman after his gall bladder surgery. Or at least I think that's what the question was.

I need to go watch Doug now. That show was so great.

Remeber the episode were Doug becomes a trendsetter?

SavestheDay7432 · 03-01-2004, 09:26 PM

haha is this serious?

No other band made yodeling cool before The Beets and no band will make yodeling as cool as The Beets did.

pure nostalgia, i think i spelled that right, but yes, i agree to praise the beets

axeslinga_32 · 03-02-2004, 04:55 AM

ever since disney bought that show it has sucked, and i'll never ever see the old eps again

wheres my socks owned, i remember the ep, where he won the competition on the radio for saying, beats me. hehe. And i remember when they met the band in a diner.

pixiesfanyo · 03-02-2004, 05:40 AM

the best song on doug was the one doug and skeeter made it was like..
bangin' on a trash can
drummin' on a street light..

^^ not sure if that's right..but that song kicked all sorts of *** ^^

-El Hefe- · 03-02-2004, 07:47 AM

I like them. I don't have any of their songs on my computer though.....

Yeah that's right pixiesfanyo. I think.....

Does Nickelodeon still play Doug?
Last time I heard they didn't, they just play reruns of Sponge-painfully stupid and so unfunny you'll throw up-pants.

EDIT: I don't remember 'Where's My Socks'........

EDIT: Hah, that's funny. They're made up and they really are better than a lot of very popular bands....

thetwaz · 03-02-2004, 09:30 AM

I watched a couple of episodes of Doug, but I can't remember any of the Beet's songs

LknChikn · 03-02-2004, 09:51 AM

Doug was a great show. The Beets were a great band, even though they were a cartoon. Funny how a fake band who was making fun of popular culture is actually alot better than it.

Now I've got Killer Tofu stuck in my head.

el doctor · 03-02-2004, 05:36 PM

I was talking to someone in school today about the Beets.

A lot of the lyrics may have been silly and repetitive, but overall they rocked. "I need mo allowance, yodelayeeeeoooooo....why?! becuase I doooooo"

ZEROthirtythree · 03-02-2004, 07:47 PM

The Beet's Lyrics:

"I Need More Allowance"
I need more allowance, yodelayeoo
I need more allowance, yodelayeoo
I need more allowance, yodelayeoo
Why? Because I do
Yodelayeoo, I need more allowance
Yodelayeoo, I need more allowance...

I need to buy some CDs
I need to buy some gum
I mow the grass, I clean the house,
I think I deserve some...
some more allowance

(Repeat chorus twice)

"Shout Your Lungs Out"
Whoa, you gotta whistle
gotta rumble
gotta scream
You gotta scrumble
You gotta sho-o-o-ut your lungs out
You gotta hum
You gotta yum
gotta clap
You gotta roll
You gotta sho-o-o-ut your lungs out

You gotta roll your windows down
You gotta rock your socks, you gotta roll your soul, cause the vocal chords, you gotta lose control
(repeat)

Whoa, you gotta whistle
gotta rumble
gotta scream
You gotta scrumble
You gotta sho-o-o-ut your lungs out
(that's my favorite

)

"Killer Tofu"
Fast food feels fuzzy
Cause it's made from stuff that's scuzzy
I always thought I was such a nerd, I refused to touch that strange bean curd
I wouldn't eat it, WOW!
But it ate you!

Aeeoo, killer tofu
Ooeeoo, killer tofu

I eat my sugar cereal
but it makes my teeth bacterial
Eayeeoh
eeayee
If you're feeling kind of cruddy
just stick right by your buddy
and don't eat, t-t-t-t-too much fried food, yeah

(Repeat chorus)

ColdFire · 03-02-2004, 07:51 PM

Those are some of the greatest words every written. (Not Sarcasm)

You guys are awesome! You're cooler than Dylan Farnum.

Now that I think about it, were the Beets closer to punk than anything else? I don't know for sure.

PDWAB · 03-02-2004, 10:44 PM

Doug made playing the banjo sooooooo cool.
