VACATION DAD – DAN AND I DRANK DAYQUIL

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Vacation Dad sent over his new song “about two roommates that are in love with each other but they both have girlfriends so they can’t express their feelings to one another so they both get real fucked up on dayquil and die in a bathroom”. What I hear is a nice Person Pitch-esque jam, but alright. Here you go – ‘Dan and I Drank Dayquil’, a “kind of a Romeo and Juliet thing but way gayer”.
