Its a good thing that I’m not a star,
You don’t know how lucky you are.
Though my record may say it, no one will play it,
Sad songs and waltzes aren’t selling this year.
Willie Nelson wrote and recorded the song originally but CAKE does a good job with it.
Really blew my mind a number of years ago to discover this was a cover. Turns out I like Willy Nelson. “Don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys” is another favorite of mine.
Cake’s cover of “I will survive” and “war pigs” are also fantastic. War Pigs is probably one is my favorite songs. Cake can be polarizing, but I love them.
