Dumber than Bricks | An Appalachian Novelty Pop Stomp — Sasperela Rue

“Dumber Than Bricks” is a tongue-in-cheek Appalachian novelty-pop stomp about the modern luxury of not thinking too hard — featuring Charlie, the pet rock who may still be the smartest one in the room. Get your Charlie the Pet Rock Mug here: https://sasperela-rue-shop.fourthwall... Driven by banjo, honky-tonk piano, and an aggressively catchy four-letter chorus, Sasperela Rue delivers a deadpan satire of empty pop hooks, borrowed opinions, and our collective urge to nod along. Songs by Elizabeth Ola Belle Fontaine. Every word written by hand — the grief (and humor) is real. Listen on Spotify. ============================== DUMBER THAN BRICKS Nobody likes the songs these days, The kind that make you stop and think. If I must use what’s ’tween my ears, I’ll need a pill and then a drink. What if I have to say big words With syllables in groups of three? That’s far too much to memorize— A “sylla-what”? Don’t look at me. And so I wrote this song for you. If I ain’t falling into love, Or watching love walk out the door, Or hanging somewhere in between, What would I need those feelings for? I’m not accustomed to such things; They make me fidget in my chair. What if a thought should wander in And make itself at home in there? And so I wrote this song for me. I like a crowd that nods along, The kind that never breaks the spell. A thought that only one man has Ain't worth the breath it takes to tell. I like to know each singer is at least as dumb and slow as me, So when they tell me how to vote, Then we’ll both completely agree. And so I wrote this song for us. And it goes— Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, Only one word: Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. And it’s so— Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, Four little letters: Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. D–U–M–B... Was that four, or was that three? Never mind—don’t make me think. Someone go and get my drink. — These recordings involve generative AI. #SasperelaRue #DumberThanBricks #AppalachianMusic #ComedySong #americana #folk
