    Story Behind the Song
    I just sat down one day and wrote this song in Studio City. I had never programmed a drum machine, so I borrowed one from my boyfriend, and recorded Euro Merc. I hope no one takes it too seriosly!

    Lyrics

    EURO MERC Barb E. Dahl 1988
    (Totally White Rap)

    I start my day with a double cappuccino,
    iced, of course, and not in Encino
    Studio City is the place I dwell,
    I got the killer crib, and location to chill.
    I get in the Merc, 500SL
    European breed, and fast as h---
    put the top down so all can view me
    I'm looking good cuzza plastic surgery.
    Well, I went to Dr. E. and he did my nose
    he did my eyes, that's as far as it goes!
    I got all day so I think I'll spend some cash
    cruisin' in the Merc, I don't take no trash.
    Here come a guy, he actin' like a Bozo,
    droolin' at my ride, "Hey, howzit goin'?"
    Hey, dude, gimme a break.
    I got a guy and his name is Vinnie
    a bitchen rock-n-roller and he's really skinny
    so if you wanna flirt, doncha be a jerk
    and don't mess with the girl in the European Merc!
    Now when I shop, I ain't lookin' for no bargain
    I pay that mark-up (That's retail jargon)
    If I find what's nice, I'm gonna pay the price,
    cuz it's not who you are, it's what you wear?
    Now if you think I'm a material girl
    get real, it's a superficial world
    Do you really think I'd make an impression driving a Hundai!
    The moral of the story, as I can best describe
    If you don't have the cash, beg, borrow or bribe
    extend your credit to make yourself cool
    and don't go out be dressin' like a fool!

    Put your best face forward, whether it's real or not
    make sure you're seen at all the cool spots
    cop the attitude that your life is a breeze
    and if you can't buy diamonds, then wear C.Z.s!
