about

'I had the title for almost six months when I suddenly wrote a song around it on August 14. The mid tempo song deals with a smelly sedan, caused by the presence of a rotting corpse in the trunk of the car. The narrator was in a state of drunkenness when he killed someone some time earlier, and completely forgot that he loaded the corpse in his trunk. In order to capture the egocentric character of the sociopath killer, the lyrics don't pay much attention to the dead person and driving around drunk but instead lament the rotting smell and the flies inside the sedan. I must add that from the wording it is not clear that a DUI was indeed committed, so I have to give him that. However, there is a reference in the lyrics and music to the Lynyrd Skynyrd song That Smell, which deals with (amongst other stuff) drunk driving. My Sedan! was first played live on July 27, 2019.'

lyrics

Chorus:
My sedan smells of decay
There’s a corpse inside
My sedan smells of decay
And ev’rywhere are flies

I shot someone while drunk
And loaded him in my trunk
But then I kinda forgot
And now my sedan smells a lot

Chorus

I must get rid of the stench
Oohoo that smell is pretty intense
I put that dead guy in the ground
And gotta drive with the car windows down

Chorus
