The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: REGGAEpril


Eric Christian Olsen, "Pierce You Are a B." (from Community) via iTunes (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: Completing the trilogy of songs—"Getting Rid of Britta," "Some Worries," & now "Pierce You Are a B."—in which Vaughn Miller (played by Eric Christian Olsen) recruits Piece Hawthorne (played by Chevy Chase) into a never-named reggae band, ends his affair with Britta Perry (played by Gillian Jacobs), recognizes that life is "just not as epic as (he) thought it was," & ultimately kicks Pierce out of the band after Pierce chooses his friendship with Britta over staying in Vaughn's good graces: SKApril '15 & SKApril '16.
"I just want to ask Pierce, maybe grab a pencil, take some notes. I'm about to drop knowledge.

"Pierce, I don't need you in my band,
I don't need your heart or your hand,
Oh, I don't need you in my life,
All you do is cause me some strife.

"I am my own person,
I am my own person,
And Pierce, you're a B.
Yeah, you heard me say it, (Yes, sir!)
Pierce, you're a B.

"This a song for Pierce 'cause him so old,
His body made of wrinkles and folds,
Stupid and ugly, he smell like a fart,
There's poo-poo in his pants and poo-poo in my heart,
Come, selector, bring him down,
When him on a stage him dress like a clown,
The boy a Tom Arnold and we are Rosanne,
That's why we divorce him straight from the band.

"Pierce, I just want you to know,
I'm hip to your tricks and you're not my bro,
You can lie, just wait and see,
The things you did, they just set me free.

"I am my own person,
You know what that means?
I am my own person,
And Pierce, you're a B.
Oh, buddy,
Pierce, you're a B.

"Pierce, Pierce, Pierce, Pierce you're a B.
Pierce, Pierce, Pierce, Pierce you're a B.
Pierce, Pierce, Pierce, Pierce you're a B.
Pierce, Pierce, Pierce, Pierce you're a B."
