Veruca Salt - Laughing In The Sugar Bowl Lyrics






That day Chinatown burned down
I saw you start the fire
So deep, so sweet, Alphabet street
What a poet what a liar

Gotta spellcheck it
(A) A (B) B (C) C (D) D (E) F G H
I'm the enemy

No way oh way oh
"Whole Lotta Love" is coming on the radio
Oh no here we go
Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl

Confused, not amused
Parlor belle chanteuse
The morning after
First act, no tact,
What a playback
Wasn't that a Good Disaster

Count it up
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 6 7 8
na na na na na

Oh way oh way oh
"Whole Lotta Love" is coming on the radio
Oh no here we go
Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl
Oh way oh way oh
"Dirty Back Road" is playing on the stereo
She's the flame and I'm the glow
It started raining
It's still coming down

Don't look back
Don't look behind you
Don't look back
Don't look behind you

Let's sing it loud
Do re mi fa so la
la la la la la

Oh way oh way oh
"Whole Lotta Love" is coming on the radio
Oh no here we go
Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl
Oh way oh way oh
"Dirty Back Road" is playing on the stereo
She's the flame and I'm the glow
Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl

Veruca Salt Laughing In The Sugar Bowl Comments
  1. R.... M....

    1:23 Just discovered Dirty Back Road by The B-52's today. I kept wondering where I heard "Don't look back. Don't look behind you." Then I was like of course. My favorite band!

  2. R.... B....

    One, two, three, four

    That day chinatown burned down
    I saw you start the fire
    So deep, so sweet, Alphabet street
    What a poet, what a liar

    Gotta spellcheck it
    (A) A (B) B (C) C (D) D (E) F G H
    I'm the enemy

    No way, oh way, oh
    Whole lotta love is coming on the radio
    Oh no here we go
    Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl
    copy paste from aotr sucks
    Confused, not amused
    Parlor belle chanteuse
    The morning after
    First act, no tact
    What a playback
    Wasn't that a good disaster
    Count it up
    (1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 6 7 8
    Na, na, na, na, na

    Oh way, oh way, oh
    Whole lotta love is coming on the radio
    Oh no here we go
    Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl
    Oh way oh way oh
    Dirty backrub is playing on the stereo
    She's the flame and I'm the glow
    It started raining
    It's still coming down

    Don't look back
    Don't look behind you
    Don't look back
    Don't look behind you
    Let's sing it loud

    Do re mi fa so la
    La, la, la, la, la

    Oh way, oh way oh
    Whole lotta love is coming on the radio
    Oh no here we go
    Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl
    Oh way, oh way oh
    Dirty backrub is playing on the stereo
    She's the flame and I'm the glow
    Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl

    She's the flame and I'm the glow
    Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl
    She's the flame and I'm the glow
    Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl

  3. B.... V....

    Eh lol wtv

  4. e.... ....

    Did they just reference the b52s?

    e.... ....

    Absolutely. As well as Led Zeppelin, and one of their own songs off their BIOYAIVS EP.

  5. M.... D....

    Louise Post is smoking hot. Even nicer than in her youth

  6. j.... j....

    Good LORD! Louise looks as good or better than she did in 1997!!! Hot as FUCK!!!

  7. T.... ....

    Every time I stumble across this on my saved playlist, I have to watch it a dozen times. Its just SO Veruca Salt. Everything I hoped for when I first learned the fearsome foursome were back together!

  8. F.... L....

    They look like they are so happy to be together again.

  9. F.... L....

    Good to see them back together, they look great.

  10. S.... S....

    Awesome!!... glad they're back!!....the girls look amazing too!

  11. T.... D....

    Isn't she that spoiled brat who got pushed down the garbage chute?

  12. v.... c....

    Nina was better singing Skrewdriver songs as Saga
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWHOzb_u8Tw

  13. J.... N....

    Buying this album was a huge mistake. Only 1 decent song.

    J.... N....

    Triage?

    J.... N....

    @Alexios K I don't know. This sounds childish and shallow. I wish I never heard of this band. Everything that's wrong with music now.

    J.... N....

    @Alexios K Don't like that either. 40 dollars for something to throw in the air and shoot with a 410. 2 of shite is still shite.

    J.... N....

    @John Nihil Hmm, I wouldn't go that far. Definitely more of a Nina record than a Louise record though, too poppy/soft compared to old Veruca at their best--I miss Louise's guitar solos on this record.

    J.... N....

    @Alexios K I bought the double vinyl because I was bored. The records are nailed to the wall now. Lol

  14. C.... D....

    This is how week the "rockstar scene". Veruca Salt was a b-list band at their height. They've been basically apart for 20 years, make a new album and are now easily A-list for rock band acts. I think sitting on the bench is gonna end up working for them.

  15. A.... ....

    This is one of the standouts from Ghost Notes.

    Really strong album. Ranks up there with their best.

  16. D.... I....

    Hoping for a new album soon, veruca salt was my favourite in college, still is ❤

  17. A.... P....

    The girls still look sexy as fuck.

  18. b.... ....

    Louise and Nina still as beautiful as always...

  19. S.... D....

    Way to keep up the energy level!

  20. D.... I....

    I never knew Nina Gordon was in a band :O I'm so late I know, but I love their sound

  21. M.... W....

    2019 and Ive been there since 96

  22. N.... D....

    I love them even more now 😍

  23. W.... ....

    Epic band! Just found out about new album.. Makin' up for it!

  24. A.... O....

    That day Chinatown burned down I saw you start the fire
    So deep, so sweet, Alphabet Street, what a poet what a liar
    Gotta spell check it
    (A) A, (B) B, (C) C, (D) D, (E) F G H
    I'm the enemy

    No way oh way oh
    Whole Lotta Love is coming on the radio
    Oh no here we go
    Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl

    Confused, not amused, par la belle chanteuse, the morning after
    First act, no tact, what a play back, wasn't that a Good Disaster?
    Count it off
    Na na na na na

    Dirty Back Road is playing on the stereo
    She's the flame and I'm the glow
    It started raining, it's still coming down

    Don't look back, don't look behind you
    Don't look back, don't look behind you

    Let's sing it out
    Do Re, Mi Fa, Sol La
    La la la la la

    Oh way oh way oh
    Whole Lotta Love is coming on the radio
    Oh no here we go
    Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl
    Oh way oh way oh
    Dirty Back Road is playing on the stereo
    She's the flame and I'm the glow
    Ha ha look who's laughing in the sugar bowl
    She's the flame and I'm the glow

  25. p.... e....

    Awesome indeed

  26. P.... S....

    ❤🇧🇷

  27. C.... D....

    Ya a! Is a burning building.remeber when you guys got into a fight? My mom is obsessed with you guys. Also me too. I will never forget you guys when you die. I really promise. I do.

  28. k.... ....

    New album rocks!

  29. j.... ....

    Channeling Kate & Cindy from the B52s? Now that's both genius AND an awesome tribute.
    Oh HELL yes!!!
    Veruca is so freakin cool. Even still.

  30. j.... ....

    Oh my god I love this band- fun, rough, clever twists.... and then i suppose i should mention Nina and Louise, can crushes last 20 years?

  31. D.... B....

    Eu-Phorik!

  32. R.... S....

    High points, Jimmy's drumming. Good song/lyric writting and performance.

  33. D.... K....

    Love this song

  34. M.... F....

    love the nod to the B52's Reckless Driving at 1:26..

  35. B.... S....

    Love the B-52's shout out in this.

  36. J.... A....

    Idk im a little bitter about these bands getting back together 20 years later to me its just been to long + fans were completely roobed of great music when these bands split. Like gnr why get back together now its been 30 years why now when its completely over.

  37. S.... D....

    Missed you guys!

  38. Y.... ....

    Life is right in the world again, with the original lineup back together. One of my favorite bands in the 90's, whose albums I never stopped listening to. I remember when Eight Arms to Hold You came out. A friend of mine came home with the cd, and myself and a few buddies all made a mad dash to the store to pick up a copy. The Ghost Notes album is a huge win. It's definitely the Veruca Salt sound I grew up with. I can't wait for more music in the future.

  39. G.... B....

    Still love it!

  40. P.... S....

    A bit shit ok

  41. E.... N....

    ❤❤❤❤❤🆒

  42. N.... T....

  43. c.... ....

  44. H.... S....

    All stand in honor of the god of alternative rock drummers, Jim Shapiro.

  60. N.... ....

  61. M.... ....

    Dirty Back Road was playing on the stereo.

  62. S.... M....

    Love these women (oh and the guys too!)!

  63. R.... ....

    I just heard this on Americas funniest home videos 😄

  64. M.... N....

    Baby boomer here who grew up listening to the Beatles, Eagles, Steve Miller Band, etc., etc. and will confess that before a few weeks ago I was only familiar with "Seether" from '94 but... holy sh*t I've suddenly become a huge fan of VS. My kind of music. Please keep it up because I've already had enough of today's musicians who've forgotten what a guitar is.

  65. y.... v....

    LOVE VERUCA SALT!!!

  66. M.... B....

    Im Tommy, the front of MINATORE , I brought your vinyl, and downloaded your MP3's I was listening on a long bus ride, and I was crying with joy by the time I heard the line "hold on me" In The Sound Of Leaving... Everyone must have thought I was sad, I was crying with joy!!!!! Please come play in the UK !

    M.... B....

    I would like to find the words of that "private letter" Nina is reading in the background of the 3rd verse - Sound of Leaving. Tried a few audio filters, but still can't figure it out.
    Great band - So happy Nina, Louise, Jim, Steve got back together.

  67. l.... ....

    Welcome back....still kickin' it!

  68. e.... ....

    Holy crap they aged well!

  69. j.... h....

    Love this song. Love this video. Love this album. It's my favorite of theirs. Would like to know the backstory on this songs. Anyone have the scoop?

  70. M.... V....

    SOO GOOD

  71. J.... S....

    This is a rocker yo! Love it!

  72. J.... D....

    Louise didn't change at all

  73. P.... G....

    hard to believe these ladies are around their 50's. Rock n Roll keeps you young and politics makes you look old just ask the Clinton's.

    P.... G....

    or trump

    P.... G....

    Pinche Guerro who gives a fuck what they look like?

    I came here for their music.

    P.... G....

    I remember them young in the 90s.
    Maybe I was young too then.

    P.... G....

    There's a huge difference between 50s and 70s.

  74. K.... G....

    So glad you're back ! Fuck yeah!

  75. R.... ....

    Great Return!!!

  76. N.... R....

    SO glad you are back, fantastic album!

  77. T.... G....

    OH YEAH, THEY'RE BACK. ALRIGHT!

  78. M.... .....

    Veruca Salt, how I Love thee. Thank you my Italian friend for introducing me to them.

  79. t.... s....

    fast forward a few months and I still listen at least once a day....thanks for having the sense to make some more righteous tunes.....Totally fits this timeline. Dudes who write good tunes don't seem to get what we think or feel quite right. I have always been able to put on a VS album, and it's total music therapy!!!!

  80. R.... ....

    Lovely job

  81. 3.... ....

    is it just me, or is louise post getting even more beautiful as she gets older

  82. 3.... ....

    love this, even more on speed setting 1.5

  83. M.... G....

    Nice Tune!!!!

  84. Q.... ....

    Veruca Salt is back!!!Rock on!  All four of you are badasses!

  85. r.... ....

    fuck yeah !!!! i love it welcome back girls

  86. D.... B....

    amazing

  87. T.... T....

    Please make more music, Veruca Salt, we miss you.

  88. J.... C....

    haha, great!

  89. J.... W....

    Fantastic! Veruca Salt is better than ever.

  90. B.... G....

    I am so GLAD to have Veruca Salt back together with Nina Gordon.....!!!

  91. J.... M....

    Well this is sweet. Or Salt.y

  92. J.... L....

    F I N A L L Y !

  93. t.... s....

    two weeks and totally OBSESSED with this album....yet again another masterpiece, if my little anonymous opinion matters, which I'm guessing only to other die hard fans.

    t.... s....

    teresa sparks I've been listening to it for about the same amount of time and it sounds exactly as if they had released it after Eight Arms to Hold You.

    Wasn't expecting it to be as strong as it is.

    This song is a very good example of the high quality. Getting only better with every listen.

  94. p.... ....

    Ghost Notes is so fucking good. Don't know if anybody was clamoring for it or how it will do commercially but it is just a perfect record. Always loved them and I am glad they are back.

  95. t.... s....

    I have had extremely crucial moments in my life with this band as a soundtrack, fuck yeah there's more. I'm no teenager, forty now, and have been listening since shit, 1994, when I was eighteen....thanks

  96. d.... ....

    Love vs
