about

“What is this guy? The Freddy Krueger of custodians?” Based on an episode of the 1991 Nickelodeon series "Salute Your Shorts", our new track "Zeke The Plumber" tells the tale of a nose-less specter at Camp Anawanna, haunting the dreams of anyone who touches his cursed plunger. The track ends with a horrorpunk 'salute' to Salute Your Shorts that will unlock repressed core memories for any 90's kid!

lyrics

We run we jump we swim and play
We row and go on trips
But the things that last forever
Are our dear friendships

Another summer camp horror story, not the one you think
At Camp Anawanna Zeke the Plumber cleaned the toilet reek
But he didn't mind you see he didn't have a nose
Some parrot in the Philippines or so that story goes

Dug a hole and hit a pipe but he couldn't smell the leak
Lit a match then up in flames so went the plumber Zeke
His upper lip and plunger were all they ever found
Touch the handle now he'll come for you
To his curse your dreams are bound

Now he haunts the grounds at night
A ghost of summers past
Masked with hallowed eyes of black
He wants his plunger back

Anawanna nightmares
Anawanna creeps
I don't wanna go no more
I wanna get some sleep
Zeke he can't smell your fears
But he knows just where they hide
Plunge them out from deep inside
The darkest corners of your mind

Inside of your head are all those secrets that you keep
All those dirty secrets that he'll plunge out while you sleep
Bloody bandage for a nose, he'll haunt you in your dreams
You know he's just inside your head
But the camp can hear you scream

Now he haunts the grounds at night
A ghost of summers past
Masked with hallowed eyes of black
He wants his plunger back

Anawanna nightmares
Anawanna creeps
I don't wanna go no more
I wanna get some sleep
Zeke he can't smell your fears
But he knows just where they hide
Plunge them out from deep inside
The darkest corners of your mind

Think Anawanna-wanna
(Hey! Hey!)
Speak Anawanna-wanna
(Hey! Hey!)
Live Anawanna-wanna
(Hey! Hey!)
Zeke I don't wanna, wanna
(Oh, no!)

Think Anawanna-wanna
(Hey! Hey!)
Speak Anawanna-wanna
(Hey! Hey!)
Live Anawanna-wanna
(Hey! Hey!)
Zeke! Well, I don't wanna go!

Think Anawanna-wanna
Speak Anawanna-wanna
Live Anawanna-wanna
Ughh!
