And that's the way I like it

So I was sitting in someone's car on Monday night and Ben Lee's song, "Catch My Disease", came on to the radio. He must have written those lyrics in about 5 minutes. But I have to admit, it was pretty, erm, catchy (no pun intended). Random, repetitive, minimally poetic, and rather meaningless...but very catchy. What songwriting genius.

Catch My Disease - Ben Lee
my head is a box filled with nothing
and that's the way i like it
my garden's a secret compartment
and that's the way i like it
and that's the way i like it
your body's a dream that turns violent
and that's the way i like it
and that's the way i like it
the winter is long in the city
and that's the way i like it

so please
baby please
open your heart
and catch my disease

i was backstage in pomona
and that's the way i like it
she drank beer with coca-cola
and that's the way i like it
and that's the way i like it
she told me about the winds from santa ana
and that's the way i like it
and that's the way i like it
she told me she'd love me like fireworks
and that's the way i like it

so please
baby please
open your eyes
and catch my disease

so please
baby please
cmon
and catch my disease

they play good charlotte on the radio
and that's the way i like it
they play sleepy jackson on the radio
and that's the way i like it
and that's the way i like it
i hear beyonce on the radio
and that's the way i like it
and that's the way i like it
they don't play me on the radio
but that's the way i like it

so please
baby please
open your heart
and catch my disease

so please
baby please
cmon
and catch my disease

Did I mention it was repetitive?

And he also has a blog like everyone else. But I think this bio is more interesting.

Towards the end of the car ride, they also played Green Day on the radio, and I liked it :P
But we arrived at our destination before the end of the song, so didn't get to hear the whole thing.

Wake me up when September ends...
