Brandon Johnson Welcomes You To The Battle Of The Century
T.J. Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're doing anything right now, I would stop
Go ahead and get yourself something you can sit in
Some headphones, somebody you love
Get yourself a splitter, 'cause you probably don't have two different jacks
I haven't seen anything yet that has two jacks in it
So you want to go to your local Radioshack
Go back to the section marked '1983' and pick up a splitter
You and your girl can sit, side by side on the couch as you listen to...
The Extended Play EP!
T.J. Miller, so many beautiful guests
Insert that splitter in, and get 'er in
If you're playing Twister right now,
Do not listen to this album and play Twister at the same time
'Matter of fact, don't play Twister anymore, it's never been a good game
If you are currently enjoying something with gravy on it
And you're in a G4, or a G5, or whatever new plane they're flying
Well then you keep doing what you're doing
And that's what we're about to do
Get ready to bear witness to the most epic battle
This ain't for nobody short, or with a bad heart.
The song "Brandon Johnson Welcomes You To The Battle Of The Century" by T.J.

Johnson goes as far as giving advice to his listeners on where they can find the splitter. He also advises against listening to the album while playing Twister, because it may not be a good idea.
