Did You Get My Message? - Audience Rehearsal; Live at The Schubas Tavern, Chicago, IL, 2006

[Intro]

I was nervous that the heat was gonna take the tuning away from us

But I think we did ok

Ok, um... I'll just change the subject and play it now, so let's now do that

This one I normally don't get to play

I usually play this one by myself, but it's serious fun

I can do that 'cause I can

[Verse 1]

Did you get my message?

The one I left while I was trying to condense everything

That I meant in a minute or less when I called to confess

And make all of my stresses go bye-bye?

Did you get my message?

You didn't, I guess

If you did, you would've called me with your sweet intent

And we could give it a rest

'Stead of beating my breast

Making all of the pressure go sky-high

[Verse 2]

I just had an idea, ok?

You guys know the song, obviously, very well

So, there is a part in the second verse that goes like this

Uh oh, where did it go?

Ok, just that part

Uh oh, where did it go?

No, no, no

Ok, this is your part

Uh oh, where did it go?

[Laughter]

No go, a no go

Must have bypassed your phone

And flown right outta the window

Oh well, how can I tell?

[Laughter]

Ok there's a part later in the song, alright check it out

When you listen to the song there's this kind of

"Should you ever call back?", you know that?

Ok? And then there's, um...

"Not much sand in the glass", you know that part?

And then there's a "Ha... Ooh... Ha..."

Very nice, now, very nice, yeah, let's

Now let's, let's have a second part

Check this out, they don't have another part

So like, every other person go "Ha... Ooh... Ha..."

Ok, and other people, all the elder people do the answers

So group one does this, go, "Ha... Ooh... Ha..."

Ok, now, if you wanna be group 2, this is what you'll do, keep singing, group one

Ooh...

Ha... Ooh... Ha...

Ha... Ooh... Ha...

Ha... Ooh... Ha...

Ok, we got it, we know this

This is what we're gonna do

Cause we're recording it

If you guys do those parts like, "Should you ever call back?" and "Uh oh, where did it go?"

And the "Aahs" and "Oohs" and the middle and the big ending

Then it will sound like this fraking crazy choir

'Cause, 'cause we'll edit all the rehearsal stuff out

It's gon' be the jam

It's gon' be good

Group one

Ha... Ooh...

And group one

Ha... Ooh...

(Ha... Ooh...)

(Ha... Ooh...)

(Ha... Ooh...)

Ooh...

That's how it gonna end, ok? Gotta go crazy

Ok here we go

Thank you

Pretending I'm coming out of the first song

Thank you

Alright, here's another we can try out

Won't be a good thing this thing about that, I don't know

Um...

Here's one you might know

[Laughter]

Let's do that

I like it

I could use five bucks for that one

[Outro]

Check it out!
