Tipsy hipster sitting right behind me What’s so goshdarn funny? It’s a comedy but not in every scene Bought my ticket to the movie And I paid with real money Guess I get the constant chitter-chatter free Now I know you think you’re better Than the film we came together On the first night of the festival to see Tipsy hipster, what you think you’re doing? Tipsy hipster, where’d you think you are? Maybe next time stay at home and Hate-watch TikTok on your phone Cause it’s a theater here Not a bar And we all know Just how cool you are Are you that surprised by ‘90s styles You can’t believe your bloodshot eyes And giggle through a cloud of pricey gin? If you thought that was a whisper Bet you think your parents don’t suspect You use their Netflix password to log in Now the running commentary’s Got me feeling kinda wary About going to the theater again Tipsy hipster, you should just get going Tipsy hipster, why’d you have to be In the seat that’s right behind me Now I’m losing my mind Caught between you and the film I came to see Tipsy hipster. Didn’t plan on you And you sure don’t care about me

Everybody knows It’s that time of year When we celebrate All the scary movies That we love And boy do we love them Gather round In the flickering glow Of the TV set Where the DVDs Are stacked Like logs for the fire What to watch? Everyone has a different favorite Don’t talk at once We’ll get To all of them ‘cause Horror fans love everything Every movie has its following Everyone lets out a joyous scream Those horror fans Love everything Monsters big and small Ghosts and zombie creeps Footage lost and found Made on the cheap We eat them up like candy Have you seen This obscure Italian flick That’s banned in Spain And long since out of print? Horror fans love everything Every movie has its following Everyone lets out a joyous scream Those horror fans Love everything And when they don’t I scratch my head Wonder what they’re looking for Why hate BLOOD BUFFET PART 5 When you dug 1 through 4? Horror fans love everything Every movie has its following Made with passion splattered on the screen Those horror fans Horror fans Horror fans Love everything Everybody knows it’s that time of year Everybody knows it’s that time of year

about

I was in Chicago recently for F This Movie Fest, a killer yearly fest that brings movie fans from all over the world together to tweet through a bunch of movies. It's great. As part of the weekend, I went to Chicago's fabled Music Box theater to see the Schwarzenegger cult classic LAST ACTION HERO in 70mm. It was a great show, EXCEPT for the annoying couple behind us who giggle derisively through the entire movie. Constant snickering. It's a comedy, sure, but come on!

From talking to friends, it seems this plague of too-cool hipsters approaching repertory screenings with detached irony is widespread. I wrote this song the next morning, fueled by little sleep and simmering anger. If this jangly anthem speaks to you, let it be the musical armor you carry into theatrical battle. Or just something you put on in the background while you do the dishes. I'm cool either way.
