I originally ripped this song off from Arlo Guthrie way back in 2001, and I’ve been singin’ it for seven long years now. It’s called Loomis’s Restaurant, and it’s about a friend of mine, Mickey Loomis, but Mickey doesn’t own the restaurant, and there’s not really even a restaurant in the song at all. 

If you’ve ever heard me sing this song before… you’re gonna have to explain to me later why you was within earshot of my shower. But in the meantime if you’ve heard the song before you already know that while there’s not a restaurant in the song, Mickey is in the song, and there’s also a massacree.

Back in 2001, the song told the story of the Loomis’s Restaurant Bye Week Massacree, which, oddly enough, went down during the 2001 bye week. But sometime last year I went ahead and decided to update the song to tell the story of a whole separate, distinct, non-consecutive massacree.

Shit, I really need to stop hanging out with Mickey.
