...hey...wait a minute! How'd you know I was on the sofa?
one of my favorite TOWER of POWER SONGS !
"What is Hip?"
So ya wanna dump out yo' trick bag.
Build up that frame you just snagged.
But you ain't exactly sure what is hip.
So you started buildin' up your bike.
Maybe stuck a sidecar on your trike.
Somehow, ya know there's much more to the trip.
What is hip?
Tell me, tell me, if you think you know.
Is it fittin' your parts together with what they call "flow"?
The question, "Will it show?"
You're into a hip trip.
Maybe hipper than hip.
What is hip?
You became a part of the competition.
Debating whether apehangers, cruisers, or track bars would fit your mission.
Started hangin' out with the so called "Rat Rod click."
Hoping hanging around would make the coolness stick.
All seemed hip when you rode that night.
You should be satisfied, but don't know if it's quite right.
What is hip?
I'd like to know!
What is hip?
Is it in the style of your fork or bars?
Is it in the chainring sportin' stars?
What is hip?
I'd like to know.
What is hip?
Is it glittering paint that'll spin others heads?
Is it a bunny in your thread?
What is hip?
You went an' stretched the rules,
In an effort to fit your three inch shoes.
And maybe even managed to fit 'em in.
Only to hear others complain it was a sin.
There's one thing you should know,
What's hip today, might tomorrow be a "has been."
You may think your bike a hipness saint,
But remember sometimes hipness is, what it ain't.
What is hip y'all? Hey!
What is hip?
Is it a taillight that will flash?
Is it two speedometers on a wooden dash?
What is hip?
I wanna know.
What is hip?
Is it a bike built for show?
Is it a bike built way too low?
Ahhhhhhh!
What is hip?
Is it a chainguard with a snarly grin?
Is it restoration that shows us where we been?
Hey! Oh!
What is hip?
What is hip y'all?
What is hip?
I wanna know.
What is hip?
Ahhhhhhh!
What is hip?
I wanna know what hipness is.
