Title: Merge
Post by: Stephengencs on August 19, 2004, 08:25:37 pm
I have always loved the song...  But as with just about every Breakfast tune out there, I am always more entranced by the music and they lyrics always come second, but last night I got to get a good listen to the words for Merge and had such a great moment.   

For years now I have felt the pain of trying to merge with every stupid fuck that wants to get on 95 or 15 or 84 or whathaveyou.   It is truly one of the most aggravating things about driving.  Other than obviously screaming many times in the past "MERGE MOTHERFUCKER",

I also came up with a personal nickname for every stupid fuck that has no right driving on a highway, let alone posessing a drivers license....I would always call these jerks "merge-a-tards".....and sometimes it would be "Merge you fucking merge-a-tard" or "Heavens to Merge-a-tards learn how to drive you old fuck"......

so today I was going over the lyrics to Merge on this site (I always forget about that sweet link on here...thanks Peck), and now I love it even more than just the "bomb ba na na WAH na na Ba na na NA NA NA WAH WAH WAH"

just a thread before I go....

I was thinking the same thing right before I read your post.

After just listening to it, its probably the best merge in 2001

I have to say the best merge ever was on 1-19-2003, its was a slow merge if that counts.

:awwyeah: slow merges most definately count matt....

:bounce5: the first time i was really aware of what merge was was probably one of marcial\'s last elm city shows, if not his last, (prior to last weekend...).  there was a slow merge at a blues cafe show that was unreal, (so unreal that i would love to hear it again). :bounce1:

I will eventually dig it up on the setlist page on thebreakfast.net but not tonight.

whose got my latenight breakfast yasgurs setlist:chin:?

@ MERGE

Merge futhermucker just you merge
You futhermucker merge merge futhermucker now
You sittin\' in your vehicle
So whimsical you should really make your mind up now
Not just in the physical sense like four wheels less and a soul in the hole now
Here is where you realign your spirit to the body and the body to the mind

Instinct like when you don\'t blink and
When you don\'t think you just act like you wanna do
In or in between the time of now where second seems to be like a century
Passin\' by at the speed of light
You\'re havin\' fun and you merged with one
Million motherfuckers bringin\' it to
Me and you just mergein\' on thru

Merge now (x4)

Slow? Fast? What do you prefer?

I just like Merge. This slow Merge is awesome(4-25-08), fast Merges are crazy. I guess it depends on my mood. My vote is slow.

I seem to remember referring to one as a funk Merge, but I can\'t recall what show that was. I guess I\'ll have to go through all of the Merges I can find!

Great Merge and great show galenas! I had a blast at that one.

A slow Merge is much more than a mere novelty. I think it shows the depth of the tune when its played at different tempos and still works, imo. Fast, slow, funk, whatever, just merge!!

Jam > Funk > Merge > Rufus > Taboo Or Not Taboot to open the show. :stoned:

Post by: frolfer on March 09, 2011, 04:43:05 pm
pulled this one off the shelf and its a searing, ripping performance. The jam > Funk-A is tasty and this Merge is demonic!

But, its not the one I am thinking of. Or is it? I am listening now and it just dropped into a definite funky groove. Man, this is sick. Yes, I think this is the one. So maybe its not a funk Merge per se, but it certainly gets a little funky!

booz gets the prize! nice job man.

I would expect the funk to be in the air opening up for Bernie Worrell!!!

Nice run of shows for the PB in late August. Some super ser-ness with Pevar on 8/23, this funky throwdown of a show, then the show on 8/25 which the first half shreds in the \'normal\' PB fashion, then gets super weird(listen to this if you haven\'t already) I think the guys took their medications at setbreak. And then the Meadows show with the sick jam and Tribal on 8/26. What the funk!!! good stuff.
