Val Kilmer Lyrics


I always thought my movie would be a comedy
Not quite the tragedy that it's become
More slapstick than chick-flick
More 'Caddyshack' than 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'So, thank me at the podium
For a lifetime of contribution
Turn on the cameras, someone cue the extras
Hair and makeup, to the setBecause the big screen's calling
Final casting call
It's your big shot, baby
You're the next big starOf another stupid movie
'Bout a guy with a broken heart
Who's falling apartYou're headed for the cutting room floor
(Headed for the cutting room floor)
And in the sequel, honey
I'm the guy who gets the girlSo if you miss my movie, get the DVD
Check out the chemistry between you and me
Less 'Raising Arizona'
More 'Steel Magnolias'So when you walk down that red carpet

I hope you trip and fall
I hope someone squirts you with a water gun
A super soaker filled with peeBecause the big screen's calling
Final casting call
It's your big shot, baby
You're the next big starOf another stupid movie
'Bout a guy with a broken heart
Who's falling apartYou're headed for the cutting room floor
(Headed for the cutting room floor)
And in the sequel, honey
I'm the guy who gets the girlAll apologies to Kevin Costner
And that chick from 'Monster'
Give me Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell
Belushi and even Val Kilmer
He was funny in 'Real Genius'What about 'Top Gun'?
No, 'Top Gun' wasn't funny, whatever
'Top Secret' was funny too
But he sucked as BatmanBecause the big screen's calling
Final casting call
It's your big shot, baby
You're the next big starOf another dumb movie
'Bout a guy with a broken heart
I'm falling apartSteven Spielberg's calling
And he's sending a car
It's your big shot, baby
You're the next big starOf another stupid movie
'Bout a guy with a broken heart
Who's falling apartYou're headed for the cutting room floor
(Headed for the cutting room floor)
And in the sequel, honey
I'm the guy who gets the girlWho gets the girl
I'm the guy that gets the girl
(Adam Sandler, Will Ferrel, Belushi and Akroid)
Who gets the girl
(Chris Farley, Bill Murray in Stripes)
I'm the guy that gets the girl(Eddie Murphy 'til 90, Chris Rock and John Candy)
Who gets the girl
(The cast of Hollywood Knights)
I'm the guy that gets the girl(Mike Myers, Jim Carry and the Farelly Brothers)
Who gets the girl
(Are more my style)
I'm the guy that gets the girl(Terms Of Endearment, I didn't get it)
Who gets the girl
(I'd much rather shut up and smile)
I'm the guy that gets the girl(Adam Sandler, Will Ferrel, Belushi and Akroid)
Who gets the girl
(Chris Farley, Bill Murray in Stripes)
I'm the guy that gets the girl(Eddie Murphy 'til 90, Chris Rock and John Candy)
Who gets the girl
(The cast of Hollywood Knights)
I'm the guy that gets the girl

Bowling for Soup (acronym: BFS, or sometimes B4S) is a pop punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994 from the ruins of an old metal band. Quoting Jaret Reddick, the lead singer, "we wanted to make happy music". They're known for their often humorous lyrics, upbeat guitar riffs, and Jaret's distinctive voice.

They are best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002 on Drunk Enough To Dance which was nominated for a 2003 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo" and "1985" (originally written by Mitch Allan of SR-71) in 2004 on A Hangover You Don't Deserve. Speaking with Songfacts about "Girl All The Bad Girls Want" in a 2010 interview, Reddick said: "'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' was my very first co-write ever, and me and Butch Walker sat in a room and literally wrote that song in 30 minutes. I mean, it was done."

The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Sh*t" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars. Jaret Reddick has also stated that at the end of his last performance with his old band one of the members came on stage and proclaimed "Come back next week when we play with our new band... Bowling For Soup!". This was supposed be to be joke name, but since they couldn't think of anything better the name stuck. Their single '1985' can be found on the UK and the Norwegian editions of Singstar Rocks for the PS2.

They have also became hits on Radio Disney with edits of "1985", "Punk Rock 101", "High School Never Ends", and the inclusion of their version of "I Melt With You" in the Disney movie "Sky High". They have also written and recorded "Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day" as the theme song for Disney's "Phineas and Ferb"

Band Lineup:
Jaret Reddick - Lead Vocals/guitar
Chris Burney - Guitar/vocals
