I'm not the biggest cake fan or honestly follow them faithfully.. But I'm never disappointed when I come across their music and can never get enough of the song.
I love how everyone below thinks this band isnt recognized for how good they are. Cake has been around for a very long time, starting in my hometown (Sacramento, CA) and almost everyone knows atleast one song from cake, and more people in their mid 20s to 30s know atleast 2 or 3. Cake chooses not to be a 'Fad'; because like most really famous artists, they come out with a bang and then dissapear just as fast...who wants that? These guys are doing it right!!!
@MrBrentMetzger I saw them yesterday in Edinburgh. One of those things I thought I'd never get a chance to see being over here in Scotland, but so glad they finally came over to play for us. Cake always have and always will rock my world :)
Cake Lyrics Listen to music like Cake live near San Jose "Mustache Man (Wasted)" Launching loony thoughts into the bending of your mind You reach for something high but it's a mountain that you find He's a king dust demon with an icepick smile His music fills your feathers as you feel your passions fly With the mustache man on the carpet of his van You can feel your fatty tissues giving way to sweaty hands And the woofers keep distorting and the tweeters kiss the girls His horn-rimmed glasses lights a square beneath his curls I have wasted so much time I have wasted so much time He is like a politician who is practicing a speech He is racing, he is pacing, he is sleeping on his beat As the sky begins to darken and the waves begin to roll You can feel the oceans rising as you're losing all control And meanwhile back at the Candlerock Lounge It is past 11:30 and your friends are getting down They're applying purple eyeshadow, drinking warm beer They're wondering where you went to when you told them you'd be here I have wasted so much time I have wasted so much time I have wasted so much time I have wasted so much time
@MrVasir i agree. im 16 and im a huge huge fan of cake, frank sinatra is my favorite song. in a way though these are a little under appreciated for the simple fact that they choose to be so indy. they don't even have a publisher anymore for god's sake xD
@Glockenspiel2012 their live shows could stand some sprucing up though! LOL they seem to give back just a little less than what the crowd gives but at least they're solid live performers.
Who's gonna lay just below your nose tonight? Baby, it's the mustache man. Who's gonna let you twirl their ends up with wax? Baby, it's the mustache man. CAKE ROCKS!
@Redrobottyler everybody keeps watching his video to show their dislikes, my opinion is if you dont like an artist don't watch his video and comment to let everybody know you .
Me and my best friend, her dad, her mom, and her sister danced and sang to this song while doing dishes XD Would have made a funny music video! I've waaaaasstteeeeeddd so much ti-i-ime! we're odd people....
This should be my effin anthem. Pretty much I've wasted at least 5, maybe 7 years of my life just boozing and whoring over the last 10. Anyway, Cake is the shit. Good album - I need it.
Just discovered this band... THERE BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!
This song always gets stuck in my head because I always end up doing random shit when I'm supposed to be doing something productive
Did anyone notice the guy screaming in the background towards the end saying "this is bullshit! In trying to sleep!"
I noticed. I always wonder if it was deliberate or not. Anyone have any idea?
when is that
@@ManoloGal
@@linkss390 Starts at like 3:20 he's saying "You've got to keep it down in here" and then just goes on.
I'm not the biggest cake fan or honestly follow them faithfully.. But I'm never disappointed when I come across their music and can never get enough of the song.
That bass groove gives me chills... I wanna play like that :D
i hate how a band this good, is not recognized for how amazing they are!
This jam just bangs you into funkiness!
46,000 ppl currently, THIS SONG NEEDS MORE VIEWS, I HEARD THIS IN BURGER KING, BLEW MY MIND
UNDERRATED
This whole album is underrated imo
Favorite part of the song has to be the talking near the end. Something about "I AM TRYING TO SLEEP" entertains me every time.
More pitch and volume from their lead singer than I think I've EVER heard from him. They're rocking this one out (Cake style).
I love how everyone below thinks this band isnt recognized for how good they are. Cake has been around for a very long time, starting in my hometown (Sacramento, CA) and almost everyone knows atleast one song from cake, and more people in their mid 20s to 30s know atleast 2 or 3.

The way it is to easily get addicted to their music...... it is just pure magic
I heard this on the radio at 4:30 in the morning today and I've been listening to it ever since
@MrBrentMetzger I saw them yesterday in Edinburgh. One of those things I thought I'd never get a chance to see being over here in Scotland, but so glad they finally came over to play for us. Cake always have and always will rock my world :)
"its been a long time" since ive loved cake but now i cant get enough of it
These guys are among the best in my,personal opinion.. so creative... SO nerdy, yet SOOO,DAM FUNKY...Nerd-funk.. oxymoron
Gian Distefano I disagree good sir. Is not an oxy moron. On the contrary, nerds are funk. They are the master funks.
This song never gets old. It's complimentary to being fucked up on weed and booze. A good time guaranteed.
I thought this was “Life in the Fast Lane” when I heard it on American dad for years but it never sounded quite the same! I feel so complete now
Cake Lyrics
Listen to music like Cake
live near San Jose
"Mustache Man (Wasted)"
Launching loony thoughts into the bending of your mind
You reach for something high but it's a mountain that you find
He's a king dust demon with an icepick smile
His music fills your feathers as you feel your passions fly
With the mustache man on the carpet of his van
You can feel your fatty tissues giving way to sweaty hands
And the woofers keep distorting and the tweeters kiss the girls
His horn-rimmed glasses lights a square beneath his curls
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
He is like a politician who is practicing a speech
He is racing, he is pacing, he is sleeping on his beat
As the sky begins to darken and the waves begin to roll
You can feel the oceans rising as you're losing all control
And meanwhile back at the Candlerock Lounge
It is past 11:30 and your friends are getting down
They're applying purple eyeshadow, drinking warm beer
They're wondering where you went to when you told them you'd be here
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
I have wasted so much time
This is some funky music, man. Makes me want to dance.
cake almost makes me want to change the way i live
I heard this song on the radio and loved it it. go local radio!

@MrVasir i agree. im 16 and im a huge huge fan of cake, frank sinatra is my favorite song. in a way though these are a little under appreciated for the simple fact that they choose to be so indy. they don't even have a publisher anymore for god's sake xD

This song made me fall in love with Cake immediately
@Glockenspiel2012 their live shows could stand some sprucing up though! LOL they seem to give back just a little less than what the crowd gives but at least they're solid live performers.
I heard this on the radio and was like who is this. Horns wait......this is CAKE!!!!!
Cake, the black keys, and the black angels...doesnt get better than that

Cake wow love this song
@Greyfox198 Instantly fell love with ALL of it.
Best song ever.
Who's gonna lay just below your nose tonight? Baby, it's the mustache man.
Who's gonna let you twirl their ends up with wax? Baby, it's the mustache man.
CAKE ROCKS!
it made me think primus and rhcp when i first heard it because all the bass and stuff going on.
Love this song
@Redrobottyler everybody keeps watching his video to show their dislikes, my opinion is if you dont like an artist don't watch his video and comment to let everybody know you .

me
erm, american dad? more like american DEAD.
Me: Do you listen to cake?
Friends: No, I eat cake
@tuxx95 cake self-released this album. no BMG or whoever to come after anyone.
Cake is KING
The best cake has no icing
cowbell is the best!

“The woofers get distorted and the tweeters kiss the girls”.. Okay Nice
I cant stop thinking about Stan and the Inner Circle ,
@heirunapparent Don't have much music at all then, do you?
I think i could make it in the biz as a Cake back-up singer........ "HEY HEY HEY AAAAAAAHUUUUU AAAAAHHHHHUUUUUUU HEY HEY HEY"
sexy to chill stoned to
If you're listening to this without watching the music video you're losing out on half the fun.
i like the song
For once the cake is not a lie!
reminds me of one headlight
More Cowbell!!!!
Me and my best friend, her dad, her mom, and her sister danced and sang to this song while doing dishes XD Would have made a funny music video!

You're GONE!
1 person has wasted so much time.
@Greyfox198 Doesn't that comment belong on EVERY Cake song?
This should be my effin anthem. Pretty much I've wasted at least 5, maybe 7 years of my life just boozing and whoring over the last 10. Anyway, Cake is the shit. Good album - I need it.
I'm going to see them at Stubbs.
Score.
Bad ass
@chadfacedbear sick of you???
cake song
yup
The intro reminds me For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica
@JoeAmbrosia ya they were. how dare you
@jswarner07 So should everyone else!
This is that one cake song that perplexes me....what do the lyrics mean?
The lead singer said it was about his biggest fear as a child, whatever that means here.
ive wasted so much time... NOT listening to cake!
