Overview

"Popeye" is one of many circulating demos by Supersport 2000. It was included as the fifth track of the Shine Like the Holy Grail (1995-1997) online bootleg. It is unknown how the song initially leaked, so the titles given to these bootleg MP3's are not considered official.

The song's lyrics feature direct references to both 1930's cartoon character Popeye as well as the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

The song "Superbabe 2000" by power pop band Size 14 samples parts of the "Bohemian Rhapsody" inspired verse.

Lyrics

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening
Thunderbolts and lightning

Cross your heart, hope to die
Stick a needle, in your eye
If you pee, change the sheets
If you pee, lift the seat

If you wanna run away I've got a place that you can stay
It's in my head if that's okay
I think about you everyday
If I die, stay away
I got a flower for you babe
I'm a fly and you're a Frogger
I'm a good boy

I don't mind if you die
I wish you would find a seat and cry
If you go, I won't wait
Even though you're a good boy

So you wanna make it go
Turn her down and make it slow
I know I can make it work
A monkey wench you stupid jerk

If you wanna run away I've got a place that you can stay
It's in my head if that's okay
I think about you everyday
If I die, stay away
I got a flower for you babe
I'm a fly and you're a Frogger
I'm a good boy

I don't mind if you die
I wish you would find a seat and cry
If you go, I won't wait
Even though you're a good boy

Popeye was a sailor man
Popeye was a sailor
Popeye was a sailor man
Popeye was
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening
Thunderbolts and lightning
