Let’s play a game here. How about Vapid Insufferable Poltroon?
Venal Incompetent Potatohead? Vainglorious & Intransigent Panjandrum? Viscous & Inescapable Purulence? Dance to this one, folks. Make it a big hit. There’s a VVIP in each of us, just waiting to be
set free. Very Interesting Problem. Featuring Jane D’Cruz on clarinet,
Rafique Rashid on rhythm guitar & beatbox.

lyrics

My teacher said now that you’ve finished school
What are you gonna do, boy – play the fool?
I said oh no no no, I know what I wanna be
What’s that? she said – I said a VIP
I’m not gonna waste my life waiting in line
I’m just gonna go out and grab what’s mine
So watch out, you ordinary folks out there
I’m a VIP, you see, and I don’t care

VIP, I’m a VIP
Hey everybody now just look at me
I’m a VIP, a big fat VIP
You gotta pay through your bleeding nose
Just so that I & I can get in free

VIP, VIP – make way for the VIP
VIP, VIP – better watch what you say
He’s a VIP

VIP, I’m a VIP
That’s a Very Impressive Phenomenon, can’t you see?
I’m a Vonderful Impeccable Personality
Heh heh heh, I’ve got you hypnotized
But don’t look now, I’m just gonna pull the wool
Over your eyes, you stupid fools

VIP, I’m a VIP
Every time I speak I appear in Newsweek
I’m a VIP, a goddamn VIP
Who rules the earth – well, it sure ain’t the meek
Now some of you might wanna know how it’s done
Just how did you get to be such a VVVIP?
Well, it’s no secret, there’s no catch
First you gotta be a PIG
And I was born a natural PIG
PIG, PIG – just messing around with the GNP
And that’s the way, according to me
That’s the way you get to be a VIP

I’m not gonna waste my life waiting in line
I’m just gonna go out and grab what’s mine
So watch out, you ordinary folks out there
I’m a VIP, you see, and I don’t care

VIP, I’m a VIP
Hey everybody now just look at me
I’m a VIP, a big fat VIP
You gotta pay through your bleeding nose
So me and my cronies can go scot-free

about

Guano Breath Malaysia

My output mostly dates back to the 1980s and has been heard by a mere handful. This isn't what I'm into now but at least I'm not too embarrassed about it.

Collaborations with others & freestyle choreographic works form an integral part of my archive.

I enjoy being the world's least ambitious musician.
