Holy shit ive been trying to remember this song since highschool! Finally googled the right combination of words. 25 god damn years of humming this in my head. Order has been retsored to a small corner of my soul.
I was blown away when I first heard this back in 94! screeching weasel singing about dead bodies in El Mozote and born against singing about a girl lol. amazing split! one of my favorite 90's splits. I don't know why the weasel songs were never included on the kill the musicians comp. That explains why the new generation of weasel fans have never heard these songs
Janelle is awfully bright/For a fresh girl of eighteen/She knows all the punk Rock sites/And does a cool fanzine/Janelle can be so tactful/A quality that's Often rare/But if you're talking tactful/You're talking dyed pink hair/And She's not afraid if anything/And she won't get old and boring/And I don't Think the East Bay punks/Will make up long enough/To meet Janelle/Janelle/ Janelle/she's so swell/And she dosen't smell/Like most of her pals/And if I Have to spell it out for/I'll tell you that I'm sweet on Janelle/And she's Not afraid of anything/And she won't get old and boring/And I don't think East Bay punks/Will wake up long enough to meet Janelle/Too bad 'cause I'm Fond of Janelle/Oh, yeah I'm makin' a fool of myself/Oh yeah/Oh yeah/Oh yeah/ Oh yeah/Oh yeah/Oh yeah/she's so swell/Jenelle/Janelle/Janelle/Janelle.

Ben wrote the lyrics for Sam, and vice versa. Came out really good!
Janelle is a f*cking awesome song!
El Mozote is back in the news (it is fun to watch that Elliot Abrams squirm) and I just kept thinking of the first song from this split. Such a jam.
thank you so much for sharing! cheers brother!
Hey, no problem, man. :)
Janelle is awfully bright/For a fresh girl of eighteen/She knows all the punk
Rock sites/And does a cool fanzine/Janelle can be so tactful/A quality that's
Often rare/But if you're talking tactful/You're talking dyed pink hair/And
She's not afraid if anything/And she won't get old and boring/And I don't
Think the East Bay punks/Will make up long enough/To meet Janelle/Janelle/
Janelle/she's so swell/And she dosen't smell/Like most of her pals/And if I
Have to spell it out for/I'll tell you that I'm sweet on Janelle/And she's
Not afraid of anything/And she won't get old and boring/And I don't think
East Bay punks/Will wake up long enough to meet Janelle/Too bad 'cause I'm
Fond of Janelle/Oh, yeah I'm makin' a fool of myself/Oh yeah/Oh yeah/Oh yeah/
Oh yeah/Oh yeah/Oh yeah/she's so swell/Jenelle/Janelle/Janelle/Janelle.
Fvck this song such a genius lyric
fuck yeah
Seems pretty classist to only release certain songs in the CD version :/
