The Lyrics
This parody is dedicated to Emma Saunders (for proofreading) and Doctor Chris (without whom I probably never would have learnt the terms borborygmus and borborygmi) over at www.sev.com.au. May your repasts never be without honour. ;-)
It´s been seven hours and fourty days
Since it blew my tounge away
I eat out every night since, anyway
Though my health´s in fast decay
Since my first plate I can taste whatever I want
I can eat refuse if I please
I´ll be late as dinner in a snotty restaurant
From chewing, from this slithering takeaway disease
Cos nothing´s as good
nothing´s as good as Gagh
I got such a treat at Worf´s Balls Inn
Blood and prunes and colon assault
Nothing can stop these borborygmi callings
Tell me baby, where´s the Targ in salt
I would put my lips around every dish I see
Could I only retain my urine
I went to the Doctor and guess what he gave me, guess what he gave me
He said man you better try to cut down, this much Inaprovaline
Will kill your spleen
But nothing´s as good
nothing´s as good as Gagh
All my faeces´ now have rotten covers, and my face´s blue
Most hairs´ gone, so is my weight
I know that crying like a baby won´t help me through
But I´m willing to take on another plate
Nothing´s as good
Nothing´s as good as Gagh
Nothing comes close
Nothing comes close to Gagh
Nothing compares
Nothings compares to Gagh
Since it blew my tounge away
I eat out every night since, anyway
Though my health´s in fast decay
Since my first plate I can taste whatever I want
I can eat refuse if I please
I´ll be late as dinner in a snotty restaurant
From chewing, from this slithering takeaway disease
Cos nothing´s as good
nothing´s as good as Gagh
I got such a treat at Worf´s Balls Inn
Blood and prunes and colon assault
Nothing can stop these borborygmi callings
Tell me baby, where´s the Targ in salt
I would put my lips around every dish I see
Could I only retain my urine
I went to the Doctor and guess what he gave me, guess what he gave me
He said man you better try to cut down, this much Inaprovaline
Will kill your spleen
But nothing´s as good
nothing´s as good as Gagh
All my faeces´ now have rotten covers, and my face´s blue
Most hairs´ gone, so is my weight
I know that crying like a baby won´t help me through
But I´m willing to take on another plate
Nothing´s as good
Nothing´s as good as Gagh
Nothing comes close
Nothing comes close to Gagh
Nothing compares
Nothings compares to Gagh

Wasn't it a hit in 1990? If so then it should be 90s
It doesn't really matter what year it comes out.. it's just to help people find songs in the index.. I'm thinking of rarranging it by artist as well as decade, so the decade setting will become less important
Not a big Trekker, but it was really fun imagining Sinead singing this. Great job!
I personally think the decade is an irrelevant piece of information anyways. All it says is when the original song was (allegedly) from, and I have noticed that many people have gotten it wrong.
And one other thing: most people would not think to look for a 90s song in the 80s section, or anything like that.
Four people now have commented on this song, which I of course am glad to see, yet it has only received one vote so far. Are you sure you recognize it at all? ;-)
Actually, only three people have commented (excluding you): me (ellipsis), ChuckyG and Claude Prez. I use "..." and "Ellipsis" interchangeably, because three dots is known as the ellipsis mark.
I think Prince wrote it in the Eighties, although Sinead's version hit Number 1 in 1990, so either way is OK. As for the song itself, you have achieved what the Klingons call "Qapla'"! Success!
Mike, you're right about Prince. I know he wrote it, but it was sung by Sinead. It was probably recorded in 89 but it was indeed a big hit in the spring of 1990. In fact, lots of early 90s stuff was recorded before 1/1/90.
[MODE OOPS] I stand corrected, it WAS released in 1990. I vividly remember the video so I guess I probably associated it with early MTV, which I in turn associate with mid 80s. [/MODE OOPS!]
