Lose The Dink
Screeching Weasel · Thank You Very Little [2000]
i hope my babbling is something you'll excuse.
that guy will never be the man his mother was.
so lose the dink and tell me who you love.
he cannot give you anything that you could need.
you must be sick of promises he doesn't keep.
i have no doubts this clown is not the boy for you,
so lose the dink and tell me who you choose.
i'll take you to Niagra falls,
spray paint your name on alley walls. and by the way my chorus blows.
it goes heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy
it seems i'm just planning by numbers all the time,
i can't keep thoughts of you and assface from my mind.
i think you're making such a terrible mistake so lose
the dink and give this boy a break.
i'll take you up to south paris
i'll get you in the zoo for free.
sorry this chorus is so weak.

Lose The Dink
Released on the 2000 album Thank You Very Little, "Lose The Dink" stands as a quintessential track from Screeching Weasel's prolific output during the early 2000s. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of punk energy and experimental noise, characterized by rapid-fire guitar work and the distinctive, often chaotic vocal delivery of frontman Mike Vennelli. As part of the group's broader discography, the recording captures the raw, unpolished aesthetic that defined their career, particularly in the post-punk revival era. The track serves as a dynamic example of how the band utilized speed and intensity to create a unique sonic identity, contributing to their reputation as a key figure in the underground punk scene of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
