It's Important to Be Trendy Songtext
von Momus

When the fashion′s to be friendly
When the fashion's to be wild
It′s important to be trendy
Shake your body like a child

Have you been to see The Sandals
Have you been to see The Goats?
They do trippy gigs with candles
Wearing Afghan coats

When the fashion's to be crazy
When the fashion's to be free
It′s important to be trendy
Catch the disease

First I′m going to pierce my penis
Then I'm going to pierce my eye
Get a tattoo on my anus
I′m a trendy guy


It's important to be funky
It′s important to be free
Shake your body like a junky
Me be you and you be me

I've got a woolly hat with pom poms
I′ve got rucksacks too
In the shape of baby pandas
That guzzle real bamboo

Stock your fridge with vodka shots
Keep some candy round your neck
Play The Astronauts
On your 8 track deck

It's important to be trendy
It's important to be cool
Be a trendy not a stinky
Be a funky not a fool

When the fashion′s to be friendly
When the fashion′s to be wild
It's important to be trendy
Shake your body like a child


And I′m switching back to vinyl
I love my analogue synth
Got a nick in my eyebrow
And a diamond in my tooth

Dance around like a gorilla
In a wild and funky
Be a mella yella fella
Walking swanky like a gay

I saw a culture in a hairstyle
Saw an empire in a rave
I'm a connoisseur of trainers
I′m a rubber slave

When the fashion's to be friendly
When the fashion′s to be wild
It's important to be trendy
Shake your body like a child

Shake it now!
