about

Pipe Dream is the Jeff Gillooly song, sung by mustachioed supervillain Tim Russell. It features funkiness upon funkiness supplied by Uncle Funky, a sneaky Rhodes solo by James Clark and kneecapping horn punches arranged by Jeff Ostroski.

lyrics

No need to tell me ‘bout original sin
That’s when the first person lied
But now that serpent’s slithered out there again
Gillooly’s on Tonya’s side
A champion needs a companion
Stand on my shoulders and behold
We’ll stick the landing yeah
Cause Harding has an Olympic ring
And we won’t ever have to sweat the small things, no no

I’ve got a friend who knows a person or two
Noone will even know you’re involved
And then the damage that we won’t ever do
Will leave our problem solved
Nancy won’t have a chance, see
A glancing blow will cut her flow
And we’ll be dancing yeah
A pipe dream will be a winning routine
You can’t go dig for gold and keep your hands clean, oh no
 
You wanna be a big shot, gotta go where eagles dare
I’ll help you climb the mountain into rarified air
It’s all on my election, turn my heart into Stone
They won’t make the connection, you don’t have to condone

I got a crowbar
It’s not who we are
Crowbar!
You’re setting such a low bar
Crowbar!
Just wait in the car
Well if you say
It’s the only way
To be a big star . . .
