about

Originally recorded in the basement where Milwaukee band Those X-Cleavers rehearsed. The recording included Carter Hunnicutt and Terry Tanger of Those X-Cleavers during the 11 Second Annoying Noise. This is the first public release from Xposed 4Heads and was first played by DJ Paul Host on WMSE.

Recorded by Randy Zorn on a Fostex 4-track cassette recorder. The mixed master was used to duplicate 100's of cassettes sold to the public and then was left in an archive until now.

Kelp Chofs restored the original cassette mixed master for the 40th Anniversary.

lyrics

I’m a great guy and people like me
I live on the Eastside of Milwaukee
And we go to North Avenue
To meet new people who live there too

My friends are fun and so am I
We’ll drink some beer or we’ll get high

Don’t you think that I’m a Nice Guy?
If you saw me, wouldn’t you say hi?
Or wave at me as you go by
Don’t you think that I’m a Nice Guy?

People like me and so should you
I’ll be your friend, if you want me to
I won’t borrow money or steal your girl
I care about hunger in the world

[Chorus]

I have a thin black tie
My hairs’ cut short on the sides
If you dare to ask me why
I’ll tell you that it’s the latest style

[Chorus]

I try to act political
Radical and critical
I don’t think that I’m so bad
I just want to belong in a fad!

[Chorus] and INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

Hi, Bye, Nice Guy!
