about

Strange New World: You are an alien visiting the Earth. Write about what you found.
----------------
Song Bio: I had a German friend/instructor who said her brother was an exchange student in Texas and when he returned none of his English teachers in his home school (in Germany, obviously) could understand him. As a youngster I would spend many weeks in Texas during the summer. One year I had developed a bit of a noticeable southern drawl. This song was kind of born out of that idea although the result has less to do with it than was intended. And I love the idea that aliens only show up to rural parts of North America based on all the sightings. A redneck trailer park seems the most likely place to find an alien, right?

lyrics

Well, I'm a real live alien
I come from outer space
And I'm here for the barbecue
Because I like the taste

Been coming down for years and years
Though it's quite the trip
There's nothing like that spicy sauce
When it hits my lips

Barbecue
Barbecue
I love that redneck trailer park
And their barbecue

Barbecue
Barbecue
There's nothing like that Texas sauce
On their barbecue

Well, Billy bob did not believe
The story that I told
But I helped him fix his pickup truck
That's more than thirty years old

He invited me to eat
And boy, I'm glad I came
There's nothing like this Texas meat
Nothing quite the same

Barbecue
Barbecue
I love that redneck trailer park
And their barbecue

Barbecue
Barbecue
There's nothing like that Texas sauce
On their barbecue

Well, people think I'm crazy
Back where I come from
'Cause I speak with a southern drawl
From having so much fun

But when I take back chicken legs
Or a slice of beef
it only takes a bite or two
Until they all believe

Barbecue
Barbecue
I love that redneck trailer park
And their barbecue

Barbecue
Barbecue
There's nothing like that Texas sauce
On their barbecue

Barbecue
Barbecue
I love that redneck trailer park
And their barbecue

Barbecue
Barbecue
There's nothing like that Texas sauce
On their barbecue
