Styx - As Bad As This Lyrics

Divertente plexiglass toilet il finale di as bad as This non vi sembra che ricordi un po' banana boat ?

I must admit that I usually skip past A Bad as This to get to Plexiglass Toilet. Boy was I missing out. As Bad is a great time !

Just getting into early Styx.. Is that a Mellotron at 2:35?? Out of the 4 Wooden Nickle albums This is my least favorite but still better then anything post 1981..

If JC had stayed in the band and lived, they would have become a full-on prog rock band. RIP JC.

Plexiglas Toilet needs to be a meme.

Leave it nice for everyone...
Seems like back then everyone was taught common courtesies.
Today, we got public education,

Should this song be considered as the first copro-grind ever made?

have this album love this song , especially the 2nd part.

Should have kept JC and fired DeYoung

DDY and Curulewski must've been high when they wrote plexiglass toilet. As Bas As This is pretty good though

Did you ever in your life before
feel as bad as this?
Did you ever in good time think
my life had gone amiss?
Now I feel I've been unfair
'cause I catch you hanging there.
Did you ever in your life before
feel as bad as this?

God knows I tried a half a year
but it didn't do no good.
My damnedest try to make it work,
I knew it never would.
Now there's nothin' wrong with you,
and there's nothing you could ever do.
God knows I tried a half a year
but it didn't do no good.

The times were good,
but over now,
a pleasant memory.
I'm sorry, there's another face
one that's close to me.
You know 'bout what I learned
and there's no stone left unturned.
The times were good,
but over now,
a pleasant memory. (Sigh)

Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah




A boy of 5 stands close to the toilet
Holds the lid up with one hand
Won't let go the lid for fear that
On his banana it will land
Don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah




Boy goes up he eats the enchilada
With the sauce that burns the heart
Family comes to visit family
Momma says don't belch and fart




Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah




Everybody Sing!




Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah




Don't sit on the Plexiglas toilet
Said the momma to her son
Wipe the butt clean with the paper
Make it nice for everyone
But don't sit down on the Plexiglas toilet yeah

grew up with this album!

grew up with this album!

This is without one of the wierdest things i've ever heard. I f*cking love it.

When I was a kid, a buddy of mine had this on 33 vinyl, 1972/73 I think. I thought "plexiglass toilet" was ridiculous at first but I grey to love it & the entire album, we'd listen to it stoned, playing pool...

Who was the one who decided to add that retarded ending in? I would love this song if they didn't add that.

Plexiglass Toilet is brilliant. Nobody has ever heard of it though. I can see Guns N' Roses playing it in an acoustic set and people loving it.

Wow! Geotubest....You hold a special place in STYX music history. I have my own history with the band so Im sure we could share some STYX history

I love this song and early STYX as I was raised on this. I came to appreciate this more than my mom did that introduced me to it..How weird is that? He he he... STYX...early and later... RULES!

Love John Curulewski's voice.  His accent and inflections make the song.

His last lead vocal contribution was "Mother Dear," which he shared with Dennis, who co-wrote that song.

@ClassicTVMan1981X was that from Equinox

@Jake Roberts
Yes, "Mother Dear" was from that album you mention.

Love PT!!! What a sense of humor!!!!!

Plexiglas toilet was John C giving Dennis DeYoung the big middle finger.

PALADIN ~ 😁 Which is probably why Dennis says this is the worst album Styx ever did. Not that I concer mind you. I'm just stating what DDY says...✌

I didn't know this band before 1977 or 75 or so, everyone gives all the credit to Tommy Shaw, but I think Dennis still deserves a big part as he was before Shaw.

I love how this track goes from super serious (As Bad As This) to something incredibly ridiculous and hilarious (Plexiglas Toilet) XD

LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM WITH THE HEAD PHONES. IT IS SO F-ING AWESOME.

RIP JC.

Love the Plexiglass Toilet! Obviously they had fun recording that one.

or they were just high

@ST3V How about they had said "Don't let anyone see your shit."? Because people have the tendency to idolize others until they see the human being within. The human filth is what we are really.

Dennis hates this song to this day.
feel free to comment back if you want to know the whole story behind the song

Uh.. "As Bad as This" is a great song and should have not been followed by "PT." Yuck. Ruins the effect.

trfesok That was John Curulewski...he had a twisted sense of humor. Only he could've done something like this...serious and moody to ridiculous and funny; I'm sure a lot of people were scratching their heads at this and saying "what the fuck?" LOL

Ridiculous??? How about fun and and, oh, by the way, diverse? Who would have thunk these guys were capable of such a sound. That's called talent. These guys proved with their Bang Masters album they can do classic rock, folk, blues, etc...Would have been nice to cover a reggae song, as they have shown they have the ability. It's pretty RIDICULOUS someone would think that small minded when a band branches out and has a little fun! Truly a band that has NEVER been given the credit they deserve...

Plexiglass toilet rules.

Don't forget the hidden track, Plexiglass Toilet, a classic.

LOL Legend has it that band member John P. brother Chuck P and John C are the only ones on the plexigla toilet song and that it is a kind of a middle finger to Denns De Young because of a disput of where the songwriting was going. They felt De Young was getting too pretentious....legend anyways

Your are pretty much correct.

By the way, just what is a Plexiglas toilet? And whatever it is, how do I get one?

man! this track rocks! thanks for sharing it! :) I am amazed at how limited corporate polluted radio stations kept great bands from the past where actual talent was in the band.... Today with the advent of x factor and american idol talent is simply not as in wide spread abundance as it was in the 70's etc!

この頃のＳＴＹＸのsoundはどんな感じだったのだろうか？この頃は洋楽すら何も知らなかった。でもこのアルバムを買って聴いて、かなり変化に富んでいるとは感じましたが癒されます。
70年代というのはそんな時代だったのだろう、と思います。
（隙があってよいのでしょう。現代のように息の抜けない時代とは違って！）

I like the actual "As Bad As This" track, but the plexiglass toilet song is just plain ridiculous...

First time I heard the 'bonus' track, after I almost missed it because I thought the side of the cassette was over, I thought 'WTF'????, but laughed my a** off as I still do. It took years for my friends to finally believe that I didn't record it at the end of the tape somehow, as they insisted STYX would never do such a zany song.

The "bonus" is why I'm here! I love Plexiglass toilet.

Also John Panozzo shines with all of the great percussion! The original (and RCA reissue) liner notes credit him with "boom bams". check out the great steel drum parts too...

...and Styx have said before that it was some of JC's friends who came over to the studio, but I have long suspected that it is mostly Styx multi-tracked several times over, just as they brilliantly did on "Hallelujiah Chorus" with magnificent results (from the same album).
John Curulewski is sorely missed! His creativity shone through on every Styx album!

I've loved this whole album since I first heard it back in 1982.
The verse that says "...enchilada..." sounds almost like it's being sung by DDY, as it sounds somewhat like some of his characature voices he did later on. Also, they did the sped up voice technique about midway through the song, that sounds like the muppets came in. :-) The "ahhs" in the background behind that are genius! It gives the *appearance* of quite a few various ethnic families gathered around, and ...

I took guitar lessons from John Curulewski. Coolest cat around. Miss him.

i felt like looking up some of early Styx stuff, and i find this.... O.o

Make sure to clean that butt with clean paper, and make it nice for everyone.

"On his banana it will land" lol

JC had a different style of music. It sounds good. Also had a great voice. RIP JC.

DeYoung may have suffered from depression but this was a Curulewski number.

@thatOtherDude100 What is so depressing about being told to not sit on the plexiglass toilet?
