Tremaine - Lyrics - Fast Times

Fast Times is a seven-episode 1986 television remake of the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High that was produced by Amy Heckerling, who directed the original film. Cameron Crowe, who penned the original Fast Times novel and film screenplay, served as creative consultant. Moon Unit Zappa participated as a technical consultant. She was hired in order to research slang terms and mannerisms of teenagers, as she had just graduated from high school at the time and had a much better grasp of then-current high school behavior than the writers. Oingo Boingo provided the theme song.

The boy wore coke bottle glasses. The boy could stand to lose a few pounds. Everyday we found some way to bring the poor boy down. Find one flaw, one tiny flaw and let the vultures go to town. Bring him down It brings me up, it brings me up to bring him down. Hey you ugly tub o' lard Did ya get those clothes at K-mart? ***-head, you should be thin, Your the last kid picked, you'll never win. Bring him down (3x) It brings me up, it brings me up to bring him down. Whose cool whose not, who am I to decide? I went home to watch TV, Tremaine went home to dry his eyes. Now I see the error of my ways. I left that attitude in fifth grade. But I got a question, can you answer me? You're all grown up, why do you act the same?
