Figure 1 is played over this:
A long time ago, me and my brother Kyle here, we were hitchhiking
Down a long and lonesome road, all of a sudden there shined a
Shiny demon in the middle of the road. And he said
Play the best song in the world or I’ll eat your soul (soul)

Well needless to say, the beast was stunned
Whip crack with your swampy tail, and the beast was done
He asks us (snort) be you angels
And we said nay, we are but men. Rock
