about
In the Catalan city of Vilanova i la Geltrú, when King Carnival dies, townspeople dress in mourning and offer bouquets of phallic vegetables, women and transvestite men lament the loss of sexual pleasure, and everyone gathers in the square to hear the eulogy upon which this song is based while the body of the king-packed with explosives-is burned on a fiery pyre.
lyrics
Eulogy
Brad Erickson 2012
Pray for the body and the eggplant
Which is the calling card
The mighty coat-of-arms
Of our exalted majesty
So gracious
So serene
So majestic
When he got it up
How glorious he was
He can rule like any fool
While he snorkels in your gene pool
Got a scepter with a great big knob
That can handle any job
Baron of lost innocence
Elegantly insolent
Duke of all debauchery
God of voyeurs and delinquency
Now he’s on his death-bed
Could be his liver
Could be the gout
Could be the clap, clap, clap, clap it out
Quack doctors crowd him till he can’t breathe
Denied coverage by his insurance company
Smack doctor shoot him with a giant syringe
That overdose was his last binge
Pray for the body and the eggplant
Which is the calling card
The mighty coat-of-arms
Of our exalted majesty!
