Rush, Rush, Get the Llello?

Not, not Rush Limbaugh. He's more into little white pills.

Krautistan, ca. 1987: There must have been this here "just say no to llello" song, with a nice tune and dumb lyrics.



When I happened across it on YouTube, I thought, why not tweak the lyrics a bit for some added realism.

BTW, according to a kraut website, after her fifteen minutes of fame the singer buried herself in a second-hand store in South Podunk, Shitforbrainistan.

It was just the day
You didn't want to live anymore
But you couldn't die
You thought of paradise
Which made you feel so high
But when you awoke
You found a world awful and cruel
Please go away
Go away, take that trip
It's, like, the way to live oh
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
Say that you're gonna try before McDope goes by
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
You'll get that inner light; it used to shine so bright
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
There is a better way than the straight on that you stay
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
Give it a try and see if you're gonna die
Maybe it's your destiny
To take drugs all night
'Cause you see no light
You got your life as a gift
It ain't worth to fight
So go lose your soul
In the garden of sweetness and death
Please go away
Go away, take that trip
It's, like, the way to live oh
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
Oh, Julian, say that you're gonna try
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
Oh, Julian, it used to shine it used to shine so bright
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
Oh, Julian, give it give it yourself a try
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
Hey, Julian, see if you're gonna die
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
There is a better way than the straight on that you stay
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
Give it a try and see if you're gonna die
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
Oh, oh, oh, hey, Julian
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
Give it give it yourself a try
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh
Oh, come on, Julian
Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh, Julian, oh

And who is that O'Julian, anyway? I do know O'Toole, O'Hara, and O. Henry…

Now, kids, don't try this at home. If you try drugs, you might just as well commit suicide. Oh, I'm giving you ideas.

BTW, here's the titular song:
