The Governor

The Governor is a song written by Liam Peacock which was featured on both his debut solo album, Life In An Anthill, and The Commie Ninjas' Stay Out Of The Woods. Legend has it that the lyrics have something cogent to say, but given how generally noisy and rambunctious the song is, all that tends to come across is "RARR! I WILL TAKE YOU DOWN!" When the Commie Ninjas play the song live, they almost always save the song for last, given how difficult the song is to sing. Poliner associate Sarah Pritchett found out the hard way how difficult the song is to sing; the sole time she attempted to sing it, she ended up faceplanting on a table, a chair, and a floor before she managed to get a single word out. Yep, the song is that intense. Phil Howell, however, managed to keep his composure long enough to ask and make sure she didn't have the hiv before cleaning up the blood.
== Life In An Anthill version ==
When Liam was recording his version of the song, members of Overbored stood around watching as he attempted to nail a tricky drum party about sixty or seventy times. This proved to be the most tedious and painful event of anyone's life, ever. That is, until much superior drummer Aiden Dunne had an epic brain fart while trying to record Someone Else's Dream for the seven millionth time.
== Stay Out Of The Woods version ==
Fully one quarter of the running time of this version is taken up by Aiden being an overly metal sandbagger on drums at the end of the song. Seriously.
