about

The song is about a medical condition known as ‘The GeeBeeVeeBees,’ which describes the feeling that comes over someone when they are excited about the prospect of listening to the music of the Dayton, Ohio rock and roll group Guided By Voices. Although there is no cure, many people do live comfortably with this disease. Side effects include: a thirst for Miller Lite, sweaty hugs, compulsive record shopping. Long live Workbook Studios!

lyrics

I woke up this morning and I felt kinda strange
I had all these great melodies rattling around in my brain
And I don’t know what to do to get ’em outta my head
So I got out my computer and went on WebMD
It did not have the answer as to what’s wrong with me
So I went and saw a doctor, you’ll never believe what he said!

I’ve got the GeeBeeVeeBees and I’ll never be the same
Then he gave me a pamphlet that went on to explain
How a band from Dayton, OH is the only way to ease my pain

I tried to buy up all their albums but the challenge was tough
At first my wife she was supportive, but then she said “Enough!
Their discography’s too large and you’ll never find all of their stuff!”
I can live with this condition it’s really not so bad
At least the clubs are open and the girls are glad
Of all the ailments out there, I guess there are worse ones to have

I’ve got the GeeBeeVeeBees and I knew it all along
Because everywhere I go I keep on humming their songs
Fifty million Robert Pollard fans cannot be wrong
