Kick A Picnic

Kick A Picnic is a mashup created by The Residents for their 1992 album 'Our Finest Flowers'
== Background ==
The mashup combines the songs Picnic In The Jungle & Aircraft Damage. Aircraft Damage had been written in 1972 to be performed by Arf & Omega in the film Vileness Fats, and the EP Santa Dog. B. Barnes & C. America recieved ironic writing credit on the song. The backing vocals of Kick A Picnic, sung by a Resident, are from Aircraft Damage.
Picnic In The Jungle had been written in 1979 by The Residents & Snakefinger for inclusion on Snakefinger's debut album Chewing Hides The Sound. Kick A Picnic borrows most of its lyrics from Jungle.
The song was re-recorded in 2001 for inclusion in the film 'Icky Flix', with Molly Harvey on lead vocals. This version also appears on the soundtrack album, and was performed on the subsequent tour.
Most recently the mashup appeared on the official tribute album 'I Am A Resident!" This version was recorded by The Meet Café.
== Lyrics ==
 Afterwards, it's like a dream
 You can't remember but it seems
 To stay alive inside your mind
 And prey upon your leisure time
 It happens in an open spot
 The air is sticky and it's hot
 First they take away our clothes
 Then they lay us down in rows
 A cloud appears and melts away
 The flesh of some while others stay
 Machines that look like little cars
 Consume the bones and count the scars
 Kick a cat, a cat, a cat today;
 Fish are dumb, pluck an eye from one!
 Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
 Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
 Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
 Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
 In a place that no one knows
 We are prisoners of those
 That no one sees and no one hears
 But everybody hates and fears
 Every day they leave a tray
 And take an empty one away
 On the tray are chicken legs
 Potato salad and some eggs
 Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
 Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
 Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
 Is everybody ready for the picnic in the jungle?
