Say WHAT? Orginally, Savage Garden had went into the studio to record "She" as a b-side for the Australian "Break Me Shake Me" single when they realised at the mixing that they didn't like it. As late at night as it was, Daniel began changing the drum track around and adding new chords while Darren improvised new lyrics over it-- and "I'll Bet He Was Cool" was born.
Avoid Those Embarrassing Misheard Lyric Moments oh yeah yeah yeah / you know every once in a while / I shoot the breeze I spend my time / I talk about silly things / I like to talk about Jesus Christ / cause I wonder what would happen if He passed you by / would you be scared? would you believe in Him? / would you bust your asses to get him institutionalized?
well I bet He'd be cool / I bet He'd be damn good lookin / I bet that He'd smell divine / I'm not talkin about Calvin Kline's Obsession / just one of those people who smell good all the time / there's no reason why
what would He wear / would He wear Tommy Hilfiger? or prefer Urban Outfitted? / I don't think so / I bet He'd like Gaultier / but you'd never find Him in it / I bet He'd like Gaultier
-->chorus: Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction / I need your protection spend some time in my direction / I need your protection spend some time in my direction
you know every once in a while / I shoot the breeze I spend my time / I talk about silly things / and tonight I'd like to talk to you about Jesus Christ / cause I wonder how we'd deal if He just passed you by
I bet He'd be a star / I bet my Star Wars figures He would be a movie star / a Quentin Tarantino next-big-thing prima donna / then He'd appear on Oprah / you know what? I dont think so
could you imagine Him hanging Picadilly Circus / Times Square the Walk of Fame / at Christie's He could easily become a regular / d'you know what? I don't think so / I bet my speeder bike He'd turn his back on all of that
-->chorus
some people have just got it / you know like standing next to Elvis Presley / well then multiply that feeling by one million / and you know what I'm talkin about / well I'll bet He was cool / man I bet that cat would be damn good looking / yeah yeah yeah
