about
Nashville, Tennessee’s Steve Goodie is a renowned record producer and prolific producer of funny music. Since his debut record in the 1990s, it is not uncommon for Steve to release more than one album per year. On Twenty-Six and a Half, Steve is the only artist to have two songs included (he’s just that darn awesome), hear his cover of “Everything You Know is Wrong” from Al’s “Bad Hair Day” album and a parody of “Hardware Store” from Al’s “Poodle Hat” album.
lyrics
Nothing ever ever happens in this house
Feeling shut-out, magic tricks are not allowed here
I thought that I would go right out of my mind
Until an owl brought me the news
It said I was already enrolled
In a crazy magic school a thousand years old
So my uncle I told, “I quit this household”
And I laced up both my shoes
But he said “you’re not going anywhere
You nasty little boy with your jacked-up hair
Your aunt and I, well we really don’t care
If you rot away in your room”
But then a whole bunch of letters they arrived
So many that my uncle and aunt were horrified
And they tried to hide me, till Hagrid he surprised
’Em with a motorcycle and a brand new broom
I can't wait, no I can't wait
They say I’m gonna be a sorcerer
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to meet
Goin' to meet (Dumble) dore I'm goin', really goin' to meet
Goin' (Dum-) I'm goin' to meet (-ble) oh yes, I'm goin' to meet
Dumbledore
On the train, I met a guy named Ron
A red-headed kid and we really got along
Making stuff disappear with our magic wands
It was really really really really really really great
Then we met this girl, Hermione
Who knew every spell there is from A to Z
And we had ourselves some lunch, then unfortunately
Old Malfoy showed his face
Mean kid who likes to make trouble
When he spots anybody related to a muggle
And he calls them names, so we’re gonna burst his bubble
Before this year is through
Now the coach has started slowing down
And I’m getting off the train and I’m looking all around
And I get in a boat, and I very nearly drown
Can’t believe it’s coming true
I can't wait, no I can't wait
Hagrid open up that great big door
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to meet
Goin' to meet (Dumble) dore I'm goin', really goin' to meet
Goin' (Dum-) I'm goin' to meet (-ble) oh yes, I'm goin' to meet
Dumbledore
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to be
Goin' to meet (Dumble) dore I'm goin', really goin' to be
Goin' (Dum-) I'm goin' to be (-ble) oh yes, I'm gonna be in
Gryffindor
Would you look at all of Dumbledore’s stuff…
He’s got suits of armor, moving stairs, and ghosts who wander everywhere and
Talking pictures, headless knights, a trouble-making poltergeist and
Maps that know where people are, and fighting trees and flying cars and
Dinner plates that show up full, and cloaks that are invisible and
Magic mirrors, crystal balls, dead girls who live in toilet stalls and
Secret chambers down below where no one is allowed to go and
Giant spiders, unicorns, and chamber pots in every dorm and
Flying dragons, flying brooms, dementors when you’re feeling doomed and
Potions that’ll make you sneeze and vomit frogs incessantly
Exploding snap, cold butterbeer, Professor Snape’s acidic sneer and
Snitches, quaffles, bludgers, wands, loose prisoners from Azkaban and
Hippogriffs and blast-end skrewts and magic frogs and cats and newts and
Every flavor jelly beans, gillyweed for human submarines and
Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws, and animagus rats and dogs and
Dungeons, boggarts, broken rules, patronuses, and magic duels, and
Dirty rotten Slytherin cheaters, keepers, seekers, chasers, beaters
I can't wait, no I can't wait
I’m gonna get that evil Voldemort
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to meet
Goin' to meet (Dumble) dore I'm goin', really goin' to meet
Goin' (Dum-) I'm goin' to meet (-ble) oh yes, I'm goin' to meet
Dumbledore
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to be
Goin' to meet (Dumble) dore I'm goin', really goin' to be
Goin' (Dum-) I'm goin' to be (-ble) oh yes, I'm gonna be in
Gryffindor
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to meet
Goin' to meet (Dumble) dore I'm goin', really goin' to meet
Goin' (Dum-) I'm goin' to meet (-ble) oh yes, I'm goin' to meet
Voldemort

Couldn't have made "BURNER" without the Nerdcore genre this man started. Love this O.G.'s exasperated take on the modern internet, and hope he hasn't given it up entirely! Laurence Warner
